It's pretty sad when Kentucky fans need the Ozarkians to explain the beauty of southern culture to them. Lucky we speak both languages and can interpret.

Most vegetables make me nauseous. I like potatoes, tomatoes, onions. most peppers, mushrooms, and garlic. I realize that most of those aren't actually vegetables, but apparently Mac and Cheese is a veggie in the south.

I can't say "y'all". It comes out more like "yah".

I live in Atlanta, the capital of the South. I don't need it explained.
I just don't understand it.

Oh but it is capable of defending itself.
Don't mess with okra especially fried okra.

You just described me to a T, except for the BBQ part... Soda is soda. I rarely ever drink tea because it's gross. I hate catfish in any form. I refuse to ever try okra. I've been rude to plenty of ignorant incompetent fat food imbeciles because they suck at life and can't get a simple order correct. I hate girls. Kansas City BBQ is from Missouri. I'm a real Yankee damn it, and I say that they are NOT Yankees. They are Midwesterners. Period.
This. I think you have easily become my favorite Kentucky poster. +1

Arkansas finally getting the "insider" status they crave...

Wtf is a Yankee. That's like the dumbest term ever.
I call soda pop. I put sugar in my tea but not near as much when I have it in the south. I don't say ya'll and prefer to speak properly and be grammatically correct, not that that's a bad thing. I enjoy fried okra like once a year if that. I seldomly eat fried foods. People act a fool in all fast food restaurants.
What you are describing are people from the Midwest also called Midwesterens. Never been to Missouri but I venture to say they're not yankees.
People in the midwest are nothing like people on the east coast. FACT.
Gumps where have you been in United States to develop such characterization of Yankees.

There's a special corner of Hell for people like you.
Surprisingly though, it looks a lot like Louisiana.

True but there are simple test to prove you are not a Yankee. My go to test is "do you drink sweet tea?" And no I don't mean putting crap in after it's cold. I mean the type you mix when it's hot and making sure it needs ice to water it down kind of sweet tea. I'm currently in Wichita, KS for grad school and the only place around here that has real sweet tea is this little cajun place which also is the only place I've found real catfish. Even Chick-fila up here mixes it after its cold... sad day that was when I found that out.

I have no problem with tOSU. I'm known on here, for the most part, as one of those damned Yankees. I don't understand most southern things.

It pains me to say it, but I generally get unsweet tea and use Sweet&Low. Sure, my preference is proper Southern sweet tea, but, eventually, age catches up with a man and countermeasures must be taken in the Battle of the Bulge. If she's over 30, then she's off the hook on that one for weight control purposes. Still a Godless Commie Heathen for not liking fried catfish though.

I agree. People from the south use it as an insult to anyone that who isn't from the deep south though. Wear that shite as a badge of honor. Embrace it. I do.
My Georgia born, Bama alum boyfriend calls he a "heathen Yankee" on a daily basis. It is what it is. We live together. My Yankee arse apparently isn't that bad.

He seems like a fine man. You should do your best to hang on to him lest you end up with another of your yankee ilk.

I can agree with this. It's more on how people make it. I had a guy from NY tell me Sweet Tea was not just a southern thing and that his mom adds sugar to her tea all the time AFTER it has cooled. Proper sweet tea, the suger is added when hot to let it disolve. Worlds apart in taste and texture

I brew my tea. Boil my water and add tea bags until its dark and seeps. Pour in pitcher and add sugar. If people don't know solubility increases for sugar in hot water vs. cold, they're dumb. Then place in fridge to cool and serve over ice.
I think I pass the tea test.

Agreed and you might be shocked at the amount of people who don't

I'm fun. And challenging. He used to get very angry with me for being rude to people in public. I've toned down a bit.

Well I guess ill have to ware my yankee badge of honor.
I'm born and raise in Ohio or as I've heard people butchern it U-hi-ya. Grad from tOSU and still in this flat state. I don't think I would truly pass as a yankee since we got family from Tennessee and Alabama. I think I'm a good mix but I tend to my Yankee side. Guess I got the best of both worlds

I was in the Navy with a dude from Ohio that sounded like he was from Alabama. Perhaps you and him can help us capture that territory.
