You Know your from Kentucky when ...
15 years ago
General
Hello my friends!
I do hope that everyone is well.
Now then, I've decided to try a meme that I saw about a month ago. Looked pretty interesting to me. Twas taken from
Legandaryhon.
Directions:
1. Go to Google.
2. Type in "You know you're from (your state here) when"
3. Hit "I'm Feeling Lucky"
4. Copy/Paste the list here, putting in bold all that apply to you.
Alrighty then! Shall we begin?
You know your from Kentucky when:
Kentuckyisms:
first off, Louisville is pronounced "Lou-ah-vull". If you're gonna live here you have to get that one down first...and quick.
Other pronunciations that have particularly annoyed me are stated as followed: pen is pronounced pin, hour is pronounced hrrrr, older is pronounced odor well, there are more I just can't think of any right now. I'll edit this later, I'm sure.
Idea always has an "r" on the end.
Around town:
The only way to get chili is with spaghetti in it.
Turn signal are useless to Kentuckians.
There are these multi-colored horse statues are all over the place...I still have to figure out what they're for.
When your car gives you trouble just park on the side of the road...and let me tell ya, I've never seen so many broke down old cars on the side of the highway before!
Braden works at the Panera Bread in Indiana, which is only about 10-15 minutes from our apartment, but when you tell people that, they really look at you funny, like you're crazy for even crossing the bridge to Indiana. They think people from Indiana are the REAL hicks!
There's only one kind of tea around here and it's sweet. And everyone drinks tea, I've seen 2 years olds drink it!
Almost every other commercial on TV or the radio is for lawyers.
People ignore "no smoking" signs, they think they're just there to make a select few people happy.
When people ask you where you live, they mean what county are you in.
We didn't move here until after, but as I hear, the second Saturday in May, you're at the Derby...unless you're crazy.
Sports:
College sports are HUGE! Mainly football, and basketball and there's only two teams you're allowed to vote for: University of Louisville Cardinals or Kentucky State Wildcats. Red vs. Blue...and everyone and their grandma roots for either one of these teams...if you don't care, that means you're not from around these parts.
Did I mention college sports are huge? There are no other sports!
Again, I really thought this was interesting. Though I have to say some things in this list don't really sound true to me. More like stereotypes than anything else.
Ah well.
Later everyone!!

I've seen some of the "old broken down car" factor around here too :P, and we also don't live far from Indiana here either, though I've never gotten that from them ^^;. Every other commercial being about Layers is true even here ^^;.
Even though we have the Bengals and the Reds here, college sports is very huge here too, especially basketball. On my on-site repair job, I do repairs for two of the major NCAA colleges (Xavier University and University of Cincinnati) and when its basketball season, they talk about it CONSTANTLY ^^;.
*Gives Phantom a big hug ^-^*
I will be sure to tell you what part I live in via private note.
Awesome facts my friend! Although I have to say, I prefer my chili without spaghetti. ^^; I know, i'm weird like that.
Oks and I really like Cincinnati style chili though IMO, its more of a sauce than anything XD. I like normal chili allot too =3.
(Sorry for the double post, FA didn't add it as a reply >_<)
One "Kentuckyism" you should of added is saying long As like Os. My father does it allot, instead of saying "Wash" he says "Worsh" and "Tire" like "Tore" (sounds like the word "Tar"). ^^;
I prefer when chili is just right. Not to hot or spicy. It's gewd!!!
Yes!!! I hear that a lot too! It's insanity!
Yea, even while at a KCTCS college here (Gateway), a English professor from Kansas commented on people speaking like that when he came here and he didn't understand it :P.
