I guess there's some truth to all of the above, but I always thought that those descriptions would be more specific to small groups of folks (like from the back-woods of states I'll leave unnamed) rather than the generality of "Southerners". You're quite right, though. Life in the South is quite its own culture, which is, I suppose, the gist of this post! I reckon I oughta get my southern feathers unruffled, huh!  |
No apologies necessary. No problema, amiga. There's some folks you just can't offend, and I'm one of them, mostly. Here you thought I was just fat, when it turns out those extra inches are actually an incredibly thick skin. I just enjoy a challenge.
As to your other point...I have a confession to make...that latest bit of foolishness was in my files as "You Know You're a
Redneck When...", but I changed it to be a "southerner" when I took up the gauntlet. No character assassination intended, but sometimes you get to exercise an editor's privilege. I trust nobody took offence, and I don't imagine anyone did - nobody takes me seriously anyway. It was all intended to be in fun. As far as the South goes, we've travelled around down there a bit and always found the people great hosts. Having said that, some of the stereotypes are definitely based on fact. We've met a few genuine cartoon characters along the way, but not just in the South. And I don't care what anybody says...some of you southerners
do talk funny!! Your feathers are just fine the way they are, by the way.
