[Radio_Guy]

You might be a Yankee if...

The last time you smiled was when you prevented someone from getting on an on-ramp on the highway
You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.
You don't know what a moon pie is.
You think Heinz Ketchup is "SPICY!"
You think "RC Cola" is a radio controlled toy.
You think a "Goo Goo" is baby talk.

Feel free to add your own.

[Squatch]

1. You think the Civil War was about slavery.

:hide:

[Radio_Guy]

2. Good one

:toast:

[hfojvt]

18. you think William T. Sherman

was not a war criminal.

[Deep13]

96. Guess I'm a Yankee, then.

The average Southern soldier was not fighting for slavery and the main aim of the North was reunion. Nevertheless, the cause of the rift was the attempt to peseve the slave-based Southern economy from attack by Northern industrialists and those opposed to slavery on humanitarian grounds.

Consequently, the Civil War was about slavery.

[Taverner]

121. I'm a yankee then

Sherman did what he had to do

[SaveElmer]

123. Definitely a Yankee...

Go Billy T

[Wcross]

30. Civil war? Do you mean the war of Northern aggression? n/t

[ForrestGump]

43. It certainly wasn't very civil

But what do you expect when a bunch of brusque Yankees take a road trip south?

[CottonBear]

68. LOL!

:spank: I'm a Southerner and I think that was real funny. ;)

[ForrestGump]

77. Go Dawgs!

Sic 'em!

Woofwoofwoof...

[CottonBear]

79. Goooooo Dawgs!

I love my Georgia Dawgs! :woohoo:

CB, Proud Dawg, UGA class of 1987

[ForrestGump]

82. Oh I wish I was/In the land of CottonBear...

'cos I got me a craving for all-you-can-eat BBQ chicken at Sonny's on Atlanta Highway. :D

Yum.

[CottonBear]

88. You must go to the Jot 'em Down Store on Whitehll Road for the best BBQ

in the Athens area bar none. It is classic GA BBQ: pork, briskets, quail, and chicken. Oh yeah they have homemade bisquits and all of the classic side dishes. Mmmm!

Greetings from Athens! You must have lived here at some point. Are you a fellow Dawg? :hi:

edit to add info:

Jot 'Em Down Country Store & BBQ, Athens: The label on my bottle of Cheerwine says "Real Sugar." The Sunbeam man is stocking shelves of sprongy bread in plastic bags. The hand-lettered sign on the wall reads, "No Smoking. We Have Enough." We must be at my new favorite place, Jot 'Em Down, a restored country store named for the fabled "Lum and Abner" 1930s radio show grocery. For years, Williams Grocery was a quick stop for gas and Lance crackers. Today, the tiny spot holds two rickety Formica dinettes and an old radio, as well as some of the best barbecue I've had in years. Pulled pork and beef, fantastic, fall-apart ribs, coleslaw with fresh dill, a mysterious (and unavailable at my visit) side called "cabbage casserole," seasonal items like barbecued quail, and incredible specials like tender smoked turkey. All served with your choice of six house sauces, including sweet, mustard, "Bill's," and XXX hot. 150 Whitehall Road (at Barnett Shoals), 706-549-2110.

97. You talking about southern food...

makes me hungry. I love southern food. Yum. :P

[CottonBear]

114. Hi Jamastiene! I'm going to have Southern food for lunch today.

I'm going to get the classic wedge (meat) and 3 veg with cornbread to go plate from the deli of the local grocery store. :)

[YankeyMCC]

109. I resemble that remark

[Gormy Cuss]

3. you thinks grits are the scale used to categorize sand paper

you think Southerners all sound alike, and they all talk funny.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

4. Seriously, what the heck is a moon pie? Goo Goo?

I hope these questions won't be on the final.:cry:

[Radio_Guy]

5. Moon Pie and Goo Goo Clusters

If there is a God, these two delicacies are His work.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

10. Ok, I can honestly say I have NEVER seen a moon pie or goo goo...EVER.

They look like they have more than a few calories.

[CottonBear]

50. southlandshari is gonna be upset with you. Real upset.

I'm just sayin'. :evilgrin:

Good lord! You simply have not lived until you've had an original Moonpie and an RC Cola in a glass bottle with two roasted peanuts in the cola. :)


See here: http://www.moonpie.com/ (I grew up in Chattanooga, home of both the Moonpie and Krystal Hamburgers!)

The south’s favorite snack food, the MoonPie originated in 1917 in Chattanooga. MoonPie is a graham-like cracker, marshmallow covered with Chocolate, Vanilla, Orange, Strawberry or Banana flavors.
They are legendary, they are mythical, but above all they are delicious. Taste the southern tradition…MoonPie. Try one with a Double Cola or RC Cola.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

78. Does southlandshari hold a grudge for a long time?

[CottonBear]

81. I don't think so, but just in case

you might want to change you avatar to a moonpie (like southlandshari's!) ;)

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

86. Wise words...I'll see if I can find one.

[ForrestGump]

84. She's a woman, isn't she?

Oops.


:o

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

87. Ok, I'm holding a grudge now.

:P

[southlandshari]

112. I don't think so.

I think I know someone who has a cousin whose roommate once had a date with her sister. Let me check with him and see if he knows anything and get back with you on that!

;)

[mainegreen]

80. bah! like a whoopie pie.

Moon Pie??

[trof]

98. The southern "ploughman's lunch": An RC & a Moon Pie.

Moon Pie and a Pepsi. Just a slice of heaven.

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. You might be a Yankee if...

The sound of Fran Drescher's voice doesn't bother you.

You've watched the movie Deliverance and you're afraid to go on a camping trip. Ever.

You can name at least four hockey teams.

You don't know what a moon pie is.

You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on a poodle.

You think more money should go to important scientific research at our university than to pay the salary of the head football coach. (damn...I'm a Yankee!) :-(


More: http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/hum1/yankee.htm


You think barbecue is a verb meaning "to cook outside."

You've never, ever, eaten okra.

More than two generations of your family have been kicked out of the same prep school in Connecticut.

You don't think Ted Kennedy has an accent.

You don't have any hats in your closet that advertises feed stores.

26. Fran Drescher's accent is NY (Queens, I believe), not Yankee.

You might not be a Yankee if you think the NY Yankees are Yankee...

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Yankee

"Yankee
1683, a name applied disparagingly by Du. settlers in New Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. ... In Eng. a term of contempt (1750s) before its use as a general term for "native of New England" (1765); during the American Revolution it became a disparaging British word for all American native or inhabitants."

[ForrestGump]

29. Yankee = north of Manson-Nixon Line

:P

I've never been sure where that left the West, or even the Midwest.

Yanquis, I guess.





You might be a Yankee if you insist 'Yankee' is a term confined only to denizens of the great state of Connecty Cut.

[Cobalt Violet]

36. Ted Kennedy doesn't have an accent!

But I do love okra. Got to have a spare bag in the freezer in case I sprain something playing hockey.

[ForrestGump]

38. I've heard okra is good for sprains!

Or is that ah-krah? :P

[hfojvt]

16. both of my grandfathers

one from Wisconsin and one from NY, upstate NY,
were fans of RC Cola, and so am I. It sure as heck beats Pepsi.

Also, not all rednecks are from the south. Many are from the midwest, rural areas, and the west.

[xmas74]

25. My grandfather was from North-Central WI

and all he ever purchased was RC.

[XNASA]

17. ....you know how to spell 'Dachshund' correctly.

I had a coworker in Houston who claimed that the correct spelling was 'Doxin'.

[Wcross]

32. Nope its spelled Weiner. n/t

[hfojvt]

73. the old i before e rule

I believe it is from Wien, or Vienna sausage, in the same way Frankfurter is from Frankfurt and hamburger from Hamburg, although in WWII for jingoistic reasons, they were called "hot dogs" in much the same way some people tried to take the French out of French fries.

[Deep13]

19. 40 deg. F is a little chilly

You eat grinders
you drink tonic
you give road directions in left and right not compass directions
you measure snow in feet
you go to church regularly: twice a year
you wear shoes in the house

[lukasahero]

28. Tonic is only used in Massachusetts

However, you may be a Yankee if you think the words are soder and cidah not soda and cider. ;)

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. you purchase "Moxie" on purpose

You order a side of linguica with your pancakes

You order quoahog chowder (*CHOWDAH!) as an appetizer

When you order "Home fries" you mean boiled potatoes refried with onions and hot peppers (which you then drown in ketchup)

You buy "Star" brand hot chopped red peppers

You know what Portuguese sweet bread is

On Easter Sunday you give the kids a sweetbread roll with a pink or blue hard boiled egg baked in the middle

A barbeque contains primarily hotdogs and cheeseburgers

You buy Narragansett Beer and Cape Cod chips

[Taverner]

45. Them's only Rhode Island Yankees

:)

[mainegreen]

90. You think hot dogs should be bright red, with 'snap'.

You know the location of the 10 closest road side ice-cream huts.
You think Canadians are loud, obnoxious people with bright red hair and a french accent.
You can sing the Foxwoods theme song.
You eat more seafood than beef.
The idea of calling soda 'pop' makes you uncomfortable.
You know how to pronounce 'Worcester' (it's not pronounced 'War-chester'!)
You think we invented America.
You think eggs, mac & cheese, potatoes, steak or anything else is better slathered in ketchup.
You like winter more than summer, because there are no bugs in winter.

[Gormy Cuss]

103. Jordan's. Accept no substitute.

I thought those brown, soft skinned packaged hotdogs were fake the first time someone served me one.;-)

[johnnie]

22. Ok, now I am confused

I would figure that living in Ohio I would be considered a "Yankee", but from the looks of things I guess I'm not one of those either.

WHAT THE HELL AM I!??
:cry:

[BigMcLargehuge]

23. Your an Ohio...

round on the ends, hi in the middle.

[johnnie]

24. Thank you

At least I know I'm something.

[lukasahero]

31. Again... the etymology of "Yankee"

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Yankee

Yankee
1683, a name applied disparagingly by Du. settlers in New Amsterdam (New York) to English colonists in neighboring Connecticut. ....In Eng. a term of contempt (1750s) before its use as a general term for "native of New England" (1765); during the American Revolution it became a disparaging British word for all American native or inhabitants."

[johnnie]

33. So

A Yankee is anyone who lives in the U.S.?

[ForrestGump]

35. Nope, that's a 'Yank'

You yanqui imperialist...

[johnnie]

39. Ok

So I'm not a Yankee, but a Yank unless another Yank is calling me a Yankee because they don't live in The New England states. So a southern Yank can call me a Yankee *and* a Yank unless I have a Moon Pie, then I am only a Yank, but not a Yankee... :crazy:

[ForrestGump]

42. Sorry, I was just Yanking your chain

Better than chaining your Yank, I guess.

[johnnie]

48. Oh I know

I was trying to play around a bit. Hell, I don't care what I am..lol.

[ForrestGump]

51. You're

johnnie reb. :headbang:

[CBGLuthier]

34. You are a yankee just like me

This is about North/South yankeeism, not New Englanders and not the british view which makes us all yanks.

But if you are from southern Ohio (I was born in Hamilton) then there is a possibility your ancestors are from Kentucky (like mine) so your knowledge and traditions may not be too far from the south.

I consider myself an appalachian immigrant. both my parents were born deep in the southern hills of Kentucky.


Added on edit:

Oh, and I now live in Oklahoma, which some think is the south, some think is the southwest and some even think is the midwest so i don't know what to think. :-)

[johnnie]

37. Well, I was born here in Cleveland

And have lived here all my life. My family (for the most part) came to this country and came to Cleveland to settle in. I have had Moon Pies and RC Cola. Most of the stuff in the south we have up here. I guess a lot of people from the south have never been north and just don't know that the people in the north eat a lot of the same food, cook a lot of the same ways, call our family members by cutsie names (mee maw, paw paw ect..), are friendly to strangers and so on.

Or maybe I am in the Twilight Zone......

[ForrestGump]

40. I always wanted to visit Cleavage

I mean...Cleveland. Sorry....don't know where my mind was there for a second...






"Hello, Cleaveland!!!!"

[johnnie]

46. I would laugh at that photo

But I'm not allowed.

[ForrestGump]

49. I'll laugh for you

:rofl:

I'm already on the run, anyway... :D

[johnnie]

52. Thanks

I owe ya one. :thumbsup:

[ForrestGump]

54. That's all right

I just had two.

[CBGLuthier]

41. My family used those names too

But if you go far enough north Moon Pies are a little hard to find. :-)

We are all in the twilight Zone and have been for 5 years.

This is just another list of attemptedly humorous generalisations in the same vein as the redneck thread floating around the lounge today. At least it hasn't fallen into out-and-out state/region bashing which I abhor.

[johnnie]

58. Oh, I love the state to state bashing around here

It kind of makes me laugh.

I think it is funny that imaginary lines could really mean that much to people.

[Taverner]

47. A Midwesterner

Just like I'm a Californicator

[ForrestGump]

55. I guess that makes me

a Wildwesterner.

[Deep13]

94. Yankees are descended from pre-revolution English speakers.

New England is considered prime Yankee country, but is not exclusively so.

[xmas74]

111. Then I guess I'm a Yankee.

I was born in WI but have lived in MO for most of my life now. My family, before they spread out, helped settle the Massachusetts Bay Colonies.

[AirmensMom]

44. harleydad does the second one ...

fried chicken with a knife and fork. :rofl: In 32 years, I have never seen him pick it up. On the other hand, he loves moon pies. :bounce:

[kwassa]

57. You might be a Yankee if ....

You drink scotch instead of bourbon.

You say "you" instead of "y'all".

You have fresh, uncooked vegetables in your salad.

You eat meat and fish that hasn't been deep-fried first.

You do put meat between your gravy and your biscuit.

You don't marry your cousin.

You drive cars instead of pick-ups.

You know the Civil War was indeed about slavery.

You eat lobster and crab instead of hush puppies.

You eat cod instead of catfish.

[johnnie]

60. Oh wait

Then I might just be a Yankee. Now we are getting somewhere.

[Chemical Bill]

120. Now just a minute...

>You don't marry your cousin.

I have 17th century ancestors here in RI who I am directly decended from by three of their children. Some of my favorite incest jokes have local references.

Bill

[underpants]

61. You hate your neighbors and they aren't even black!

71. You REALLY relate to Springsteen

83. Wife Guilty, I know better

My wife's a New Yorker. I am a Murrlinder since age 8. She thinks this is the South (and we're in Montgomery County).....

[cassandra uprising]

72. You refer to going to a liquor store as

making a 'packy run'

[Redstone]

76. Do #3, 5, and 6 account for the sharp differential in dentition

retention? You might be a Yankee if you still got all 32.

Redstone

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

85. I'm a Yankee...

...and not a single one of those is true. Except maybe "Goo Goo". I don't know what the fuck you're talking about there.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

89. I'm bookmarking this for the next redneck thread.

So that way, when I see all of you southerners bitching about "DU HATES SOUTHERNERS!", I'm just going to post this link.

Seriously, I've seen the reverse of this, and half of our southern population goes fucking apoplectic over it.

[Burma Jones]

92. The Problem is that none of these insults are at all bad....

well, maybe the one about the on-ramp.....but nobody makes jokes about dumb, inbred northerners. Of course, they've never been to New Hampshire........

[WritingIsMyReligion]

115. !

:rofl:

[CottonBear]

95. I beg to differ.

This is a light hearted thread in which we (DUers from the North and South) are laughing at regional differences in culture and cuisine. No one here is insulting or hating on Yankees.

Peace. CB (Proud Southerner who loves all of the USA!)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

106. Maybe the OP isn't

but a bunch of the other posts sure are.

Listen, I personally don't give a damn. I just don't want to hear the overly sensitive BS after seeing threads like this, that's all.

[CottonBear]

108. I hear you RE: the overly sensitive BS. I agree with you. ~ Peace. n/t

[Jamastiene]

99. Thank you. Please do.

That needed to be said and a friendly reminder of this thread would help in those redneck threads. And this is coming from a southerner, for the record. :D

[Burma Jones]

91. You Might be a Yankee

If you've never walked into a Wal Mart, Food Lion, Winn Dixie or Cafeteria
If you think a Church shouldn't be the size of a major Shopping Mall
If you can speak coherently with your teeth clenched, and you aren't even angry
If your pick up truck has a bumper sticker indicating you support your local NPR Radio Station
If you believe Automobile Racing has to include more than two left turns repeated ad nauseum
If you wax rhapsodic over baseball but have never tried a chaw
If you think 60 degrees Fahrenheit is BEACH WEATHER
If you use only one syllable to say: Main, Gate, Damn and a whole bunch of other words
If you think a Southern Accent makes you sound dumber than a Long Island Accent

[slide to the left]

93. In texas

Everything north of the Red River is Yankee Territory

Even Colorado seems like a different world to me. And some consider them part of the SW. West, yes, south, no.

I know full well what a moon pie is and Goo Goo clusters are yummy!
I make a chili that requires several gallons of cold water per bite.

You might be from New England if you know the guy's name is Buckner, not Bucker. ;)

And yes, I know where I was, I was listening to it on the radio in a friend's music store after a wedding gig. Still unbelievable.

Re: "if you define summer as three months of bad skiing"

119. Buckner joke

I just happened to here a Buckner joke today that I hadn't heard before or maybe juts forgot.

It went like this:

Bill Buckner tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a bus but the bus passed between his legs.

113. You ignorantly bash the original members of Lynyrd Skynyrd

As racist right-wingers.

117. You get your wife's birthday present at the town recycling center

You think a foreign vacation is anywhere south of Boston.

You think pecans are an exotic food.

You have two complete sets of clothing - summah and wintah

You still mourn the passing of The Old Man of the Mountain.

You think a Nor'easterly is great; it means spring is only two months away.

You take pride in your wardrobe of snow shovels.

You know people named Booger.

122. NRBQ have a song called "RC Cola and a Moon Pie".

They sometimes hand out Moon Pies at their gigs.

125. A relative definition of a Yankee

Saw this posted on a professor's door, not sure of its origin:

To someone living abroad, a Yankee is someone living in the US.
To someone living in the US, a Yankee is someone who lives in the Northeast US.
To someone living in the Northeast US, A Yankee is someone who lives in New England.
To someone living in New England, a Yankee is someone who lives in Vermont.
To someone living in Vermont, a Yankee is someone who lives in Northern Vermont.
To someone who lives in Northern Vermont, a Yankee is someone who is still without indoor plumbing.
