Yep; never lived north of 96° longitude. Realise 'damn' and 'yankee' are one word. Know you don't put beans in chili. Great great Grandpa received a Southern Cross of Honour in the war of northern aggression. Neck is so red it glows. And proud of it. Know the origin of the term 'redneck' and realise it isnt actually a derogatory epithet as it has become in common usage.
If you're from Tulsa, depending upon your age, there may or may not be an "L" in the city's name. If you are above a certain age - or the child of someone in that demographic - you not only recognise the folks in the video included in the first post, you probably watched it live and there are definitely 'Mazeppa-isms' included in your personal lexicon. You know what someone is talking about when they refer to 'the Restless Ribbon', and you know who "Gusty" is.
Colorado ends in an O. Most of the terms Mr 1stmp list are normal parts of speech, and yes, most any soda pop is called 'coke'. Again, if above a certain age, you remember what a great place Tulsa usta be and weep at the thirdworld "hole" it has become. Could go on for hours.
I know there are some other Southern men on here like Mr Hall and Mr Cheapsunglasses - maybe they'll chime in later. Or maybe they are like me and seldom venture up here in this part of the forum and stay mostly in the year or subject specific areas. I dunno. But there are a few of us around...
