I spent half my life in Ga and TN so I can post this
1) Don't order steak at a Waffle House. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day; so let them cook something they know.
2) Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda. Down south it's called Coke. It don't make a difference whether it's RC, Dr.Pepper, 7-Up or whatever else, it's a Coke.
3) Don't show allegiance to any college football team that isn't in the Big 12, SEC or ACC (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Ole Mississippi, Georgia, etc.). All the others are just a bunch of pansies that play teams like Wyoming.
4) Don't refer to Southerners as a bunch of hillbillies. We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you (e.g., Welty, Williams, Faulkner). We are also better educated and generally lots nicer. We have plenty of business sense (e.g., Fred Smith of FedEx, Turner broadcasting, MCI WorldCom, MTV, Netscape). Naturally, we do sometimes have a small lapse in judgment (e.g., Clinton, Fordice, Gore, Duke).
5) We are fully aware of how high the humidity is, so shut the heck up, spend your money, and get the heck out of here.
6) Don't order wheat toast at Cracker Barrel. Everyone will instantly know that you're from Ohio. Eat your biscuits like God intended and don't put sugar on your grits.
7) Don't fake a southern accent. This will incite a riot.
8) Don't talk about how much better things are at home, because we don't give a ****. If you don't like it here, take your butt home before we kick it.
9) We don't play lacrosse, hockey, or any of those other sissy northern games, so don't come down here asking the score; because we don't care.
10) We know how to speak proper English. We talk this way because we want to, and because we can. We don't care if you don't understand what we are saying. All southerners understand what we are saying, and that's all that matters.
11) Last, but not least, DO NOT come down here trying
to tell us how to BBQ. This will get your butt shot off. You're lucky we let you come down here at all. Question our BBQ, and go home in a pine box.
