Same shite in St Louis.

They want to be part of the South so bad. I worked with a guy in St Louis who had zero accent, think Ohio, and would argue with me over this all the time. He even had a ANV Battle Flag tattoo on his shoulder.

With.
No.
Accent.

Since Alabama is the HMFIC of the South, how about you guys just let us decide who is "southern"

Still not more "southern"



The State of Alabama is 100% the epicenter of the South. To deny that is just being ignorant.

Has got to be the most 'southern' place in the entire United States. shite is straight out of some prototypical Yankee portrayal of the South in cinema.

I don’t really consider Florida the south. Sure parts are southern to varying degrees but it’s always had a very different history from the rest of the south and that’s reflected in the attitudes of those of us from here. The whole “Florida cracker” thing maybe. Plus, growing up in a place surrounded by ocean and all that goes with that, I find it hard to relate to someone from Memphis or Knoxville on a cultural level.

My point is that the panhandle of Florida is basically southern Georgia/Bama. Very much deep south culturally.

If you’re going to include Kentucky then you have to include South Carolina or you are objectively at least halfway wrong.
