[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This must be a troll. I don't understand this at all.

I don't know anyone who says cookout. It's BBQ. [b]But I'm from TX, not the South[b], so maybe it's different there but never heard that.

I will say that while I have hints of Texas-isms in my speech I don't force that on my kids. My kids speak like they're from NOVA, which is how it should be. How odd. [/quote]

Pssst  Texas is the South.

OP, it sounds like a mental disorder.[/quote]

Yeah, so you missed the part where it says, I"m from Texas, not the South explicitly in the post, huh?[/quote]

No, he was correcting the PP.  Wasn't that obvious?

Texas was part of the Confederacy.  It's the south.  I know Texans take pride in being unique, or thinking they are, at least, [b]but to the rest of the country, they're part of the South, geographically, culturally, and politically. [/b] [/quote]

That's because you're too lazy to understand nuance in culture. The cultures are not the same at all. But if you're not really familiar with either, you wouldn't be able to identify the differences.

Uh huh.  [b]You know, people who grew up in Montgomery County, MD, and Arlington, VA, insist that there are dramatic differences between the two counties, they'd never live in the other one, yada yada yada.  To the rest of the thinking world, they're exactly the freakin' same.[/b]

That little parable seems relevant here.  [/quote]

NP. No, this is wrong. Your example of MD vs VA is too granular. I grew up in the Midwest, don't differentiate those two, and yet I know that there is a vast difference between Texas and the Deep South, despite the fact that geographically, yes, they are both in the southern part of America.
