Thank you Obiwan......
Ok forget it, I'm not going to argue with you over "Yous Guys"
i know plenty of jersey folks who say "yous guys"
and i know a few folks from queens who say "yous guys"
and I know more than a few people from Bridgeport who say "yous guys".
it gets said. and it gets said in the tri-state area.
Obiwan if you werent pregnant and married already i might have fallen in love with you......then dumped you after a couple of weeks
well lord knows I don;t things up.
I'm not orignally from NJ, hence, the YOU guys....
Texas is easy to denigrate, provided you never have lived there.
well lord knows I don;t things up.
Do you have a pretty mouth?
Well so is a whole pletura of cities and states such as
California
Florida
D.C.
West Virginia
Alabama
People in Western Pennsylvania like to use "you-ins" much like we use "ya'll"
True, however, I'm not sure the stuff about Alabama isn't true...
I would've said the same thing about Arkansas..True, however, I'm not sure the stuff about Alabama isn't true...
i don't like the stereotype that we are all cowboys on a ranch, with tumbleweeds rolling by our houses everyday...but i guess it could be worse.
Having just come from ChiTown, Everyone asked me where the my accent was? It wasn't annoying, but I found it interesting that everyone apparently seems to think Every Texan has a twang.
Steretype I don't mind: Everyone in Texas is a Spurs fan. Mav Fans are metrosexual and Rocket fans are disgruntled Oiler fans.They're no longer Texas citizens.
Governor Perry is a Spur fan.If Austin is the heart of Texas then what is San Antonio??
You have to taste my pork because.....its.....the world
I'm sure you people are aware that virtually all stereotypes have their basis in fact.
oooh oooh pick me..... uh, the stomach?
Yeah, that is funny. I have no accent.
That's because East Texas is the only part of the state that is culturally Southern. Those folks are descended from settlers who moved from LA, MS, and AL, primarily. I like to say that East Texas is a haven for the kind of people who find northern Louisiana too cosmopolitan and forward-thinking.
The Panhandle is culturally similar to the Great Plains states. El Paso and its environs are much like New Mexico. South Texas way down there is like northern Mexico.
The "middle" of the state, i.e. the Triangle, the Hill Country, and the rest of the Edwards Plateau, is the "Texas" part of Texas where the culture is its own thing unlike other parts of the country. Basically, you take Upper South settlers from TN, NC, SC, and VA, mix them with Midwestern farmers and ranchers, mix them some more with Germans and Czechs, and then put in a huge dollop of Mexican. Blend the whole thing and let it sit for a hundred years trying to carve out a living from the land until it figures out there's black gold in the ground. Yeehaw.
We All where cowboy hats, cowboy boots and ride horses.
there is a racist stereotype that really gets on my nerves. I used to share an office with a couple of people from the Northeast. They were your typical "intellectual", ivy league liberals...one went to Cornell, the other Princeton, both got their MBAs from Wharton. They would frequently take potshots at "backwards" places like Texas, and the south in general. Once, after I told them that Texas was far less racist than DC, they rolled their eyes and cited the dragging death of James Byrd (was that his name?) insisting that something like that was irrefutable evidence of the rampant racism in Texas.
1. I like Bush
2. ive actually been to Dallas more than 1 time
also, every single person upon learning I'm from Texas asks me where my "accent" is.
oh...and at company Christmas parties, people like to put on Billy Ray Cyrus and ask me to teach them how to line dance
