things Ive learned living in GA

[jimkim]

I hope you like this:

Things I have learned living in Georgia :

A Possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.

"Onced" and "Twiced" are words.

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.

"Jaw-P" means "Did ya'll go to the bathroom?"

People actually grow AND eat okra.

"Fixinto" is one word.

There is no such thing as "lunch". There is only dinner and then there is supper.

Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar!

Backards and forwards means "I know everything about you."

The word "Jeet" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"

You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is.
You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH them.

you know your from Ga. if

1. You measure distance in minutes.
2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. You use "fix" as a verb. For example: "I'm fixing to go git somethin ta eat."
4. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.
5. You know what a "DAWG" is.
6. You carry jumper cables in your car. For your OWN car.
7. You only own five spices: salt, pepper, Texas Pete, Tabasco and Ketchup.
8. The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 6 pages for local gossip and motorsports.
9. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
10. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a bit warm".
11. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, still Summer and Christmas .
12. Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time known as "goin' Wal-martin" or off to "Wally World."
13. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good soup weather.
16 . We don't need no dang Driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can drive dag-nabbit.
17. You understand these jokes and forward them to your Georgia friends (and those who just wish they were!

lol Good post jimkim

I've got to take exception to No. 2. Up here in the Northeast, that happens all the time, this time of year. We also note that you're a New Englander if you have ever worn a parka and a pair of shorts to the supermarket at the same time.

I didnt see it as a redneck joke. I was born in south GA. and raised in Rural middle GA. I dont see anything demeaning about this.

Oh and by the way I say mam and sir and here we ask hows your mama and them.....correct response is... oh their doin'

[ArkansasHunter]

jimkim you can pretty well take it to the bank most of the south, use's the same thought and words.
You'll here what you posted in Arkansas too by older folks.

Number 13 would be Chili instead of Soup here, and the word Jeet is still used here today as well.

knightRider LOL taint nudd'in wrong be'in a Red Nick !

That's an easy one. For you non-Southerners, here's how it works: Your buddy Joe bob accidentally hits you between the eyes with the butt of his gun while climbing in the bed of the truck. As you're lying on your back in the dirt with blood running down your face, Joe Bob looks over the tailgate and says "hey man you 'ite?"

Okay, I guess the Texas dictionary is similar to the Okie dictionary. You nailed it Tool man!

I was born in North Carolina, lived in Georgia for a year and a half, and spent the rest of my time in Minnesota so I like humor from everywhere. I have ties to north and south. And Knight many southerners do have great manners and respect, some are my kin but where I lived(in Georgia) they got the guy sticking up gas stations a block and a half from my appartment(1970's) PS anyone from North Carolina my uncle was the No.1 disk jockey in the nation in 1950 there. His name was Jim Hall(old tyme country)

[STITCH]
