3. Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda down here. Down here it's called Coke. Nobody gives a flying flip whether it's Pepsi, RC, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up or whatever- it's still a Coke. Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to a butt kicking. </strong><hr></blockquote>
I do always say "coke" because thats what I want, not pepsi or anything else. I have never in real life had someone ask me if I wanted "pop" that just sounds weird.

I hear people bi#cn' about that all the time, "How can you wear those long pants, the humidity is so high!!!" what the h3ll does that mean?

Take your Yankee butt home before it gets kicked. </strong><hr></blockquote>
My girlfriend did that constently. It truly upsetted me. One of the things that pissed me off the most was her takling about Christmas, "I hate Christmas down here, its sooo fake. It shouldn't be 70 deg outside, its just not a true Christmas." I had to talk to her a few times before she realized that I was serious when I asked her to stop.

My parents have a picture they took in like 1975 of snow on thier front yard in the morning, The only time it snowed in Naples FL, They said that it lasted about an hour and then when the sun came up it melted away. Last year just after Christmas My whole family flew (Mom, Dad, Me, Younger Sister, Yonger Brother) to Canada. First time flying for me, my bro and sis; and the first time we saw snow.

<strong>PS - Florida is *not* considered a southern state. There are way too many Yankees living down there and the south has disowned them. So none of these rules apply if you go there.

Thank god for that. I hope that we are not considered northeren either. I have seen the people form both "sides", and neither is something I would like to be classified as. :mad:
As you can see, I feel strongly about this subject, I am not reacting the joke that Bracius posted, I thought it was very funnie, some of the above subject have come up in real life and that is want I am ranting about.

[quote]24. If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way or they will kick your butt. This is what they live for.<hr></blockquote>
Hey we have the same service in the bush here in Australia.....'cept they all look and act like the crocodile hunter's twin brother.....

After living in Dallas for almost ten years, I've got to add one...
Never go in to a any bar where "two-steppin'" is going on and say words like "marvelous" and "fabulous,"....
I'm proud to say that after a while, the locals in the DFW area knew I wasn't from around there, but kept asking me, "y'all from Amarillo?" [BTW, that's pronounced "Amarilla!"]

I noticed an awful lot of New York bashing going on in dem dar comments. We only need one rule in NYC and that is :
Mind your own FREAKIN' business or we'll drop your body in the Meadowlands.
and some other things . . .
There is no whittlin' requirement for grammar school. You aren't judged as a man based upon how far you can spit your chawin' tabbaky. You don't have to prepare your own meat or bread products. You don't have to share your home with a variety of woodland and/or grassland creatures, and dat dere new-fangled electricity and indoor plumming is all over the place.
There is one downside however, you will have to learn to walk, as moseying down the street will get you shot.

And it really is true that there is a small number of rural-minded individuals who haven't accepted that fact!! Sad, yes....sad, but true. And no legal way I know of to get rid of 'em, either.

Just thought that I would put in my 2¢. This is a pic of my and my friend’s truck.(mine is on the right) We regularly pulled out people who “thought they could make it” in the snow when I was in New Mexico. With all this snow here in South Carolina that we just had, I was having a blast downtown watching people slide all over the place. I even got to tow a cop car to a body shop because he had skidded and hit a curb. I’m originally from Georgia and I’ve been all over the world and I have to say that I love the south more than any other place. If you ever get stuck…..you know who to call!

Awwwwwwww yeeeeahhhhhh!! Hey, it was one of your brothers of truckness who pulled out me AND the cop who stopped to help me AND the other cop who stopped to help him about five years ago. Rescued us all from the icy crevice we were in. Guys like you rock. May I say thanks from all of us who drive Hondas in the south. :)

Sounds more like North Jersey...
Well, most of them work, eat, and think NYC. Maybe its all the same...
Of course, New Hampshire's new state motto is "Leave us alone"...

And they've never had a New England or Mid-West winter.

(And the scare thing is it happens EVERY year, and people STILL don't know how to drive in it!)

You know there's a saying over here about men with large vehicles owning then to make up for other areas. ;)
I drive a Fiat Panda... draw your own conclusions. :D
I was going to do the rules of Northern England, but I already did it at the start of this post.
