In the South, violence is in response to threats of honor in the form of curses, insults, and that "men must defend their honor with the use of violence"

The inability to laugh off the ridiculous provocations of others is not emblematic of honor; it's a sign of insecurity.

That depends largely on perception of what constitutes an insult.

TAMU fans don't seem to tolerate the perception that they're less masculine. That's why it's regularly used as an insult.

Actions speak louder than words. It's a sure sign that you will think twice before you provoke again.
