Is this a remotely decent checklist for being Southern?

Here's the checklist for being southern. You have to answer yes to at least half of these to even be considered "possibly southern".

1. Do you like college football?
2. Do you dip or chew tobacco?
3. Are you religious?
4. Do you drink sweet tea?
5. Do you own a truck?
6. Are you conservative?
7. Do you like Nascar?
8. Do you live south of the Mason Dixon line?
9. Did your ancestors fight for the confederacy?
10. Do you love Walmart?
11. Do you love Waffle House hashbrowns?
12. Do you own 5 or more firearms?
13a. Do you know what "Chitterlings" and "Mountain Oysters" are?
13b. If yes, do you eat them anyways?
14. When you hear a tornado siren, is that your queue to go outside and look for a funnel?
15. Have your or your friends scheduled a wedding/funeral around a football game?
16. When you refer to a soft drink, do you call it "Coke" even if it's a Pepsi product?
17. When you eat Asian food, do you always call it "Chinese food" regardless of the fact that it might be korean, japanese, or thai?
18. Do you measure distance in minutes instead of miles?
19. Is "yall" a word?
20. Do you always say "sir" or "ma'am" if there is even a chance someone is 30 seconds older than you?

Either it means we're shitty Southerners or that the stereotype is invalid.

If you have to look at lists, create list, ask TD.com if you've to a good list to see if you're southern....there is a good chance you are not. And your school isn't either.

6/20. I fail the southern stereotype test.

Number 18. Of course you measure distance by minutes when giving someone directions. 20 miles could be 20 minutes or over an hour. Miles don't mean anything unless you are walking or riding a bike.

See, I have to throw the yellow flag on this one. Fifteen yard penalty.

When the tornado siren comes on, that means it's time to tune in to the weather to find out what communities are going to be affected by the warning. If I go outside, the LAST thing I want to be within visual range is a funnel... that's time I could have spent getting to where I needed to be to be safe.
