You Know You're From Georgia When...

Sweet tea is THE drink. No questions.

When a waitress asks what you want to drink and you say Coke, she asks "What kind?"

"Ya'll" is a word.

Atlanta is known as "The City."

You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a Southerner.

The one way to be killed in .5 seconds is to talk about somebody's mama or talk bad to somebody's mama.

Krispy Kreme dounuts are the only kind of dounuts you eat.

Fried chicken is a major part of your diet.

When the Goverment started telling people to stock up on duck tape, you were waaaaaaaaaay ahead of them.

You walk into someone's house and people are sitting around smoking what they call "the garden"

On one side of the road there's Wal-Mart and on the other is a cotton field

You greet people with"Howdy, Whachu doin?"

You know what a 'dawg' is.

You know people who consider a six pack and a bug zapper quality entertainment.

The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road."

Your dog and your wallet are both on chains.

You still call the refrigerator the "icebox".

You call it a cold Christmas if you don't break out in a sweat in your new sweater.

Your whole town completely shuts down for 1 inch of snow or just the threat of snow

You know at least three streets named "Peachtree"

You don't know anyone who drinks Pepsi.

The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger... unless your car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full clip.

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

People actually grow, eat and like okra!

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Georgia.



Ok -- Leanne and Christa drink Pepsi but it's not their fault :D -- their parents were originally from Ohio and their Dad worked for Pepsi for awhile. They all are about as southern and wonderful as they can be though so I can forgive them the love of Pepsi. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Hey guys,
I started a southerns group called southern comforts (sorry! I couldn't think of anything weighty lol) Anyway, come on over, we have a permanent home now :)

Beth
(who's southern, but still doesn't like okra :P )

I'm not froml Georgia, just Kentucky. Maybe that's why I like Pepsi. Actually I usualy drink diet rite, which is RC. And how could any one not like okra? You myst not be fixin it right! Looking for the new site.

Hello I Want To Thank U For Inviting Me Here Swwt Tea I Was Tired If Trying To Find A Buddyso Thank U

Thanks for the forgiveness Sara..LMAO!!

slim me - never you fear! I am a PEPSI drinker myself and southern to the core!

ejm - I am off to check out that support group!

sorry girl but I dont know what sweet tea is

Oh MY!!! well it's fresh brewed tea with a ton of sugar mixed in when it is hot and then served over ice. It's the house wine of the south :D. If you want to pretty it up you can throw in a slice of lemon :).

since we are changing our eating habits now we are makin it with splenda. Not nearly in the same ballpark but it will do in a pinch.

I understand we call it Ice tea down under( but not with as much sugar lol )
You girls have been doing so well keep going
