Almost everyone you know is either Baptist or Methodist. 15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is. 16. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing. 17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply. 18. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin'" to send them to your friends. 19. On one side of the road there's Wal-Mart and on the other is a cotton field. 20. The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road." 21. "Ya'll" is a word. 22. Fried chicken is a major part of your diet. 23. Krispy Kreme dounuts are the only kind of dounuts you eat. 24. You call it a cold Christmas if you don't break out in a sweat in your new sweater. 25.

I had to come back and tell you that when I was 18 I spent 4 months in South Carolina and in that short time I started saying Y'all and it was hard habit to break.;)

LOL!! I just saw this on Mrs. B's blog the other day, but it was "You Know You're Texan When...." some of the items were different but this is almost exactly the same :)

Ok, y'all, I'm not from Georgia, but I'm from SC originally, and my best friend is from Georgia. I lived in Texas for 14 years, too. So . . . all of this stuff makes sense to me! LOL I DO know the difference between a redneck, a hillbilly, and a southerner! I'm a southerner, but not a redneck or a hillbilly; my cousins, on the other hand, are rednecks. Oh, this is too much fun. I saw the Texas one on Mrs. B's blog - so good! ;)
