[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I am a Southerner?? Texan here, and when referring to the geographic area, I prefer to say Texan vs South or Southerner, etc.

Anyways, I don't hear much of 'bless your heat' - maybe not the right crowd? But I do say 'how nice' or 'that's great' when someone is 'bragging' or I don't know what else to say.

As one born in North Carolina, raised in Virginia, by parents that were the first in their families to move out of Northern Pennsylvania since their great-grandparents immigrated to the US, I say Texas is a different kind of Southern and should/deserves their own label as "Texan"

My mother always says, "I didn't realize raising children in the south would mean I would have Southerners."  [/quote]

Educated southeners know that children are "reared" and vegetables and farm animals are "raised."  Of course "raised" would be the correct term for your family. You must be the first generation to have indoor plumbing.[/quote]
