I'm way past tired
of all the You might
be a Redneck if; Now

on how Southern
folks look at their
Northern cousins:
YOU JUST MIGHT BE A

barbecue is a verb
meaning, "to cook
outside."
2. You think Heinz
Ketchup is really
SPICY!

any problems
pronouncing
"Worcestershire
sauce"
correctly.

you would prefer
potato au gratin to
grits.

what Moon Pie is.

an RC Cola.

ever, eaten okra,
fried or boiled.

chicken with a knife
and fork.

a live chicken, and
the only cows you've
seen are on
road trips.

what a polecat is.
11. You don't see
anything wrong with
putting a sweater on
a poodle.
12. You don't have
bangs.

vacation at Martha's
Vineyard than Six
Flags.
14. More than two
generations of your
family have been
kicked out of the
same prep school in
Connecticut.
15. You would rather
have your son become
a lawyer than grow
up to get his
own TV fishing show.
16. Instead of
referring to two or
more people as
"y'all," you call
them
"you guys," even if
both of them are
women.
17. You don't think
Ted Kennedy has an
accent.
18. You have never
planned your summer
vacation around a
gun-'n-knife show.
19. You think more
money should go to
important scientific
research at your
university than to
pay the salary of
the head football
coach.
20. You don't have
at least one can of
WD-40 somewhere
around the house.
21. The last time
you smiled was when
you prevented
someone from getting
on
an on ramp to the
highway.
22. You don't have
any hats in your
closet that
advertise feed
stores.
23. The farthest
south you've ever
been is the perfume
counter at Neiman
Marcus.
24. You call
binoculars "opera
glasses."
25. You can't spit
out the car window
without pulling over
to the side of
the road and
stopping.
26. You would never
wear pink or an
appliqued
sweatshirt.
27. You don't know
what applique is.
28. You don't know
anyone with at least
two first names
(i.e. Joe Bob,
Faye Ellen, Billy
Ray, Mary Jo, Billie
Ruth, Bubba Dean,
Joe Dan,
MaryAlice)
29. You don't have
doilies, and you
certainly don't know
how to make one.
30. You get freaked
out when people on
the subway talk to
you.
31. You can do your
laundry without
quarters.
32. None of your fur
coats are homemade.
