I spent 12 years of my life in Georgia. 8 in Germany, whatever the rest is, it is beyond me (I am 22)

1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga(Chick-a-MAW-ga), DeKalb (de-KAB), Dahlonega (duh-LON-uh-guh), Smyrna(SMERna), BuenaVista(BYOON-a VISS-ta), Valdosta (val-DOSS-ta) , Okefenokee (OH-kee-fin-OH-kee), La Fayette (la FATE),Vienna (vie-IN-er), Seville (SEE-vill), and Albany(all-BIN-nee)

P.S . Atlanta = ADD-LANNA not AT-LANT-A.

I knew Valdosta, Okefenokee, and Albany. The Atlanta thing actually caught me off guard.

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

Even Georgians complain occationally, but in general I think it is good taste to toughen up. Still... that doesn't mean I won't complain about my sweaty shirt after spending 30 seconds outside. It is the humidity.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for
a funnel.

Maybe... honestly where I live a tornado warning is more of an annoyance. Still, safety matters.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the
distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

Correction. The true value of parking is having any parking at all. Savannah, GA has a severe parking pandemic but lots of shade.

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.

I personally say carts and bags but sacks and buggies is not alien to me. Personal preference, honest.

6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at weddings and funerals.

7. You think everyone from a Yankee-state has an accent. (I don't speak with a southern accent, I am mostly accent neutral but American in general.)

8. You measure distance in minutes.

Partially. Savannah is 20-30 minutes away, Tybee Island is almost an hour away.

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean. (There aren't any lakes I am aware of. Mostly creeks.)

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit (I used to, my computer handles that now)

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding
date.

13. You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14 Almost everyone you know is either Baptist or Methodist.

Richmond Hill has no shortage of Baptist or Methodist churches.

15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed
Crew Cab is.

One of my sister's friends reccomended that I buy a truck. My sister responds "To carry what!? Video games!? You will find a disproportionately large number of trucks down here.

16. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing. (I hate ranch)

17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

Owning a gun is legal here, and I am no stranger to this.

18. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin'" to send them to your
friends.

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

I know 2 Walmarts, but I guess that counts.

20. The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road." (False)

21. "Ya'll" is a word.

As I said I don't speak with a southern accent, but I do use this word often.

22. Fried chicken is a major part of your diet

23. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the only kind of doughnuts you eat.

The local Kroger and Publix sell Krispy Kreme donuts. The legit Krispy Kreme is in Savannah. The last Dunkin Doughnuts has gone out of business years ago.

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

Partly. Yes it is hot here but the winters can get very chilly, frozen grass, numb noses, thick jackets, ect.

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

Very true... but not quite. Students go nuts when they see it snow at night, but sigh dissapointed when it doesn't snow enough.

26. People actually grow, eat and like okra!

27. You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a
Southerner. (Nobody has told me, and I haven't looked it up.)

28. Your dog and your wallet are both on chains. (I guard my wallet zealously yes, but I don't like giant dogs)

29. Panama City Beach, Florida is a big deal.

30. You understand that at least once a year your car will turn yellow with
pollen.

Let me put it this way. It got so bad that the drainage vents in my car got clogged up and water got trapped INSIDE THE DOORS! ANd yes.... my car turned yellow.

31. You know at least one Bubba, and maybe a few guys named Bo. (Where I live, Bubba is an uncommon name)

32. You say "tuna fish sandwich."

33. You use "Sir" and "Ma'am" if there's a remote possibility that person
you're talking to is least 30 minutes older than you are.

Half true. I don't say them unless I know said person is that important... otherwise I am respectful.

And finally...

34. You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation:

"You wanna coke?"

"Yeah."

"What kind?"

"Dr Pepper."

I had this problem when I was in Seattle where it is all pepsi. In Georgia we call carbonated soft drinks Coke the vast majority of the time. We all know what it means, guh.....
