THINGS I LEARNED LIVING IN THE SOUTH

A possum is a flat animal

 

 

 

 

 

that sleeps in the middle of

 

 

 

 

 

the road.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in the South.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in the South, plus a couple no one's seen before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If it grows, it'll stick ya. If it crawls, it'll bite cha.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Onced and Twiced are words.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy!

There is no such thing as lunch. There is only dinner and then there's supper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar. It is referred to as the Wine of the South.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Backwards and forwards means I know everything about you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The word jeet is actually a question meaning, 'Did you eat?'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is, you work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH em.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ya'll is singular. All ya'll is plural.

All true.

[TheKid]

JOKE? That is all true down here in Carolina. I wasn't born here and I have lived all over the world, but i did grow up here. I can say that is all true. I sure do wish I could come up with some of those analogies that Ron from Lizard Lick Towing says to sum all this south talk up.
