Alabama knows exactly how many Dollar Generals to pass, Texas reminds you just how big Texas is, Kentucky wants you off his property, and Oklahoma is just happy to be here. Sorta. Not Really.

True story: My mother was up in the Texas Panhandle with a friend from Scotland, and when asked where he wanted to go next he said he always wanted to go fishing in the Gulf. So they set out from Abilene to Galveston... And got a motel for the night in, I wanna say Dallas. Next morning as they started driving Scotty asked "So, how many states do we pass through until we get there?" "Oh, we've been in Texas the whole time," came the reply, "It's just about another 4 hours away." The Scotsman was stunned; they'd been driving for 2 days by the time they got there. If you try to drive anywhere back home in the UK for more than a day you're gonna need a boat because no matter what direction you go you're gonna run out of land.

Exactly. Quick story: When I was in college, I had a class with a girl from CA. One day, she made the mistake of saying "well, THIS is how we do it in California (can't remember what we were talking about, but she was implying that the CA way was the correct one)." It was followed by a room full of eyerolls, and the professor - I repeat, PROFESSOR - said "well, why don't you pack your shit and take your happy ass back there." She learned a lesson that day. When you move to TN, you never, EVER, begin a sentence with "well, where *I* come from..."

And although it was subtle, I caught your little jab about driving until their electricity runs out. Nice touch. Second, as one who has lots of family in Texas and having driven all the way across the state many times, your Texas impersonation was also spot on and hilarious. Also, seeing as how I couldn't understand a word the Louisiana guy said, that also was fantastically accurate. Furthermore, I loved all the repent names in South Carolina.

People are pourin' in here looking for affordable housing (which, now, it ISN'T), no state income tax, and a balanced state budget (won't stay that way), and I think our schools are okay. ("We just have to change a fewww things, 'kay?! ;> Like, you CAN'T tell my son that no amount of surgery and lipstick will give him two X chromosomes, a uterus and ovaries, capable of birth!

Now, they want to put their toxic old millstones around OUR necks. I feel like some people want to punish Texas for being successful - and maybe, because we've been conservative thus far, and it's WORKED. So, they'll flood the state, scream so loudly that the voices of reason will be drowned out, then proceed to make us everything that they wanted to escape from.

@@arky5610Indian Territory (Oklahoma) was a Confederate territory. All of the 5 civilized tribes aligned with the Confederacy and the last Confederate general to surrender to the Union was Oklahoma Cherokee, Stand Watie. The tribes lost a large portion of their land during reconstruction because of their belonging to the Confederacy and that land was opened up to white settlers, most coming from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, etc. Thus furthering the Southern ways and culture in the area. Besides that, the Confederacy doesn’t define the entire South. Kentucky and Missouri were officially Union but are very Southern. There is absolutely nothing Midwest about Oklahoma, unless of course you consider Texas and Arkansas to be the Midwest. Oklahoma sits smack dab between both of those states and is below the Mason Dixon line, in line with Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. We have alligators and swamps in southeast Oklahoma.

My friend gave him a pack and asked where we should start .... he proceeded to give us a tour in the THICKEST Cajun accent imaginable. We were more lost after that encounter than we were when we started! Nice guy, pretty sure he was homeless but we didn't assume. Told us which alleys to stay out of to avoid trouble by pointing and saying "no! Trouble chér" [or "troubles there" I dunno].

My dad had a friend who was visiting Mississippi and was looking for the nearest hotel to stay in. This was years ago, so he had to rely on maps and word-of-mouth for directions. Anyway, he asked some local, who told him that the nearest hotel was “four far-sees and a possum toss”-and he was serious, mind you. Like, that was actually a serious estimation he made of the distance.

Aww, Missouri definitely needs at least half of our state in the South.. Ozarks is where the South begins… My grandparents are from very southern Missouri a stone’s throw from the Arkansas border... They are absolutely southern. They have the twang, more churches than people in town, play bluegrass, & make Southern food (chocolate gravy, navy beans & ham, fried chicken with white gravy, biscuits with either gravy, and of course cornbread which is the first thing I learned how to bake)… Anddd we’re Scots-Irish..

Mississippi hospitality is so great. I stopped at a gas station for gas and lunch going from Louisiana to Georgia to evacuate from hurricane Ida. They chit chatted with me like we knew each other, they said I could bring my dog in so he didn't have to wait in the car, and they gave me fresh fried fish while we were waiting for our lunch order. That whole evacuation turned into a nice vacation. My area back home got hit pretty hard though.

Go 2 miles and then turn right where they’re going to build the new high school. Go slow over the bridge because they haven’t finished fix in’ it yet. Turn right where Jenkin’s barn burned down that year of the bad wind storm. Can’t miss it.

This is exactly how I heard directions given in the south when I first moved there. Once I knew my way around, I would give other people directions with street names and they would look at me with confusion and say, “huh?” So eventually I gave in and was giving directions with landmarks like everyone else. But I never said, “can’t miss it” because I know for a fact that you CAN miss it and be hopelessly lost driving down roads that have no signs or sign of life.
