I’ve lived in the South my whole life, and honestly I’ve only been out of the South a handful of times! I would love to live up North at some point just to experience it, but I’ve heard some interesting things about the differences between the North and South.
In the South… we wave, nod our head, make eye contact, or say hello to everyone we pass on a run or walk.
In the South… we ask everyone, EVERYONE, where they are from, because we assume it’s a small world and we probably know someone they know and we love making connections
In the South… we aren’t afraid to fry anything! I, personally, don’t eat a lot of fried foods, but we have fried Twinkies (maybe not anymore, sorry Hostess), fried oreos, fried pickles, fried tomatoes, I’ve actually tried to fry cucumbers, talk about taking some healthy and fattening it up!
In the South… we say y’all… A LOT! I know it’s kind of our “staple word” but it makes a lot of sense.
In the South… we can’t host an event without preparing a ton of food and when we go to an event, we tend to expect food. You want a lot of people to come to a gathering, just say there will be free pizza!
In the South… we are not very diverse within a community, still. We still have majority black and white churches and black and white towns. We still have a good bit of racism down here too.
*Disclaimer: I’m not racist at all, this is just a general statement*
In the South… we only consider Southerners to be from the following states: Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia.
*Disclaimer: maybe that’s just me*
In the South… we like our Tea sweet and when we go to a state and order sweet tea and they don’t have it, we think they’re crazy!
If your a Southerner: Do you agree/disagree with these statements?
If your a Northerner: Do you find any or all of these things ridiculous? What are some things you can tell me about Northerners? Do they differ from these Southern statements?
