What do you Southerners hate about Northerners?

Unfortunately, we also cannot tell the difference between your heads and your asses.

Family landed in Virgina 1700 or so. Lots of my kin still there. My branch made it into Kentucky and then into Illinois in the 1820s.
I think a lot of you are confusing stereotypes with geographic location. There are now and always have been die hard Americans who lean with the more liberal views living in the Old South. Lots of them, when the civil war broke out, did NOT join the rebel army and instead continues to keep their pledge to the American flag. Same way as you go North. Lots of people in the far North are Southern in their thinking.
As you go out of the cities up North into the countryside, lots of people are southern.
Remember Yanks, Lincoln had a southern ancient. People in Springfield Illinois still do to this day. Those movies never do that right. He spoke with a strong accent and it was not Northern. Yet--he was an America first. I think the strongest Libs are the ones from the deep south.

How about the other way around:

what Northerners hate about southererners?

.....closed minded.

always banning books.

force their 'relgious' stuff on everyone else

think their shit doesn't stink......

the confederates are still butthurt about losing the civil war

I was born in Utah but moved to the south a loooong time ago. I agree there's not a lot of southern hospitality. There are assholes and bitches down here. There are some of those in every part of the world you go to, including the north. We are all not gun toting rednecks. We all don't stab you in the back. You just gotta find the right people. Just cause they are from the south doesn't mean you can label them as stupid, southern hicks and all they want to do is go hunting.

you dont put sugar in your ice tea..you prefer Dunkin doughnuts over Krispie Cream.. you dont like grits or even know what they are..you make fun of my accent :)

Hear hear, hear hear Sir!!

Amen!!!

Their big obnoxious mouths and know it all attitude.

Yeah that is all the northerners who came down here because they didn't like the north. Then changed the south to the cesspool they left.

A grit is kinda hard to fuck up. Butter, Salt & pepper is all u need.

IDK, but some of the women from Minnesota are babes.

I'd tap some of them.

Constantly stating "That is not the way we do it up north". We don't give a damn how you do it up north!

I hate those fuckin' Yankees.

I used to drive a truck and I could never find good chicken fried chicken up North. Always fried from frozen shit.

Now, if you are ever traveling I-95 through Virgina, stop at the Cracker Barrell in Ashland (right off the interstate). You can get some of THE best down home cooking there, including chicken fried chicken.

Yes. So does Kentucky.

Gotta crumble some bacon up in there, too. Yum!

"Do you want to go with?"

instead of

"Do you want to go with me?"

Can't stand that.

I am from the South, and I have to say that although I don't hate yankees, I aint got no use for them either.

Down here, the northerners come down and think that we are all uneducated losers, and they have to teach us dumb fucks the finer things in life like debt, gangs, hatred, condensending nature. They also do some of the most stupid things I have ever heard of doing. At the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, a bunch of yankees came and build a bunch a houses at the end of the runways and then thought that they had a great idea about forcing the airport to move the runways so that the jets wouldn't be flying fifty feet over their houses. When the airport managemnent finally quit laughing, they told the jets to fly lower, and see how many shingles the can blow off of the roofs.

To me, this is why the world would actually be better off with either getting rid of all yankees, or else wall them off so that they can only harm themselves.

Basically . . . . . EVERYTHING!!!

I Was raised in the north and have lived in the south for ten years now. I will take northerners over southerners any day of the week.southerners always talk about how nice they are, but really they are just polite assholes. in the north when someone will just say fuck you in the south they say bless you or ill pray for you and mean fuck you also, people in the north tend to have their shit together a bit more than the south. that being said i agree more with southerners on politics and guns for the most part. either way god bless america as a whole

You notice, nobody ever goes up north when they retire.

As a first generation Southerner who loves his South patriotically, I find that comment absolutely disgusting

Haha I do know what you mean.

The joke:
How does a Hollywood agent say "Fuck you"? Answer "Trust me"

How does a Southern Baptist say it?
Answer: "I'll pray for you"

It's not SODA or POP, it's f'ing COKE. It's not SNEAKERS, they're SHOES. Plus your accents make you sound like assholes.

sounding strange comin from my flag, but erm we hate that shit too, city folk comin to small towns and once their in start changing the flow, ya'll know what i mean.
their rushed, rude, and pretty much stuck up. drivin a prius while mowin the lawn in a suit....sheep

i love the south because here we have a since of it it needs to be fixed fix it if it needs help help it evenif it is your enemy who needs water give it you never know what kindness will change someone. i love seeing crosses and refrences on vehecles barns signs how much GOD has helped them, here we open carry our shcools have hunting and shooting clubs, our children say yes mam and yes sir even to strangers especially to strangers. we help elderly with groceries and stairs. America runs in our vains, we openly disscuss pur shitty president and his illegal policies, in public with police officers. my life has been built in the south yes but our community has built the love trust and kindness that hold us together i dont dis like northernerns but i love the south. --Ashnonymous

As a third party to these proceedings, I can assure you that 'your accents make you sound like assholes' is pretty much how everyone else on the planet describes Southern Americans.

Also, what if the 'soda/pop' in question ISN'T Coke. Do you call Pepsi 'Coke'?

Also, 'sneakers' aren't 'shoes'. Most people in the world consider 'shoes' to be the footwear you wear to the office, to formal occasions, etc. What you just said is like me saying 'don't call them Rubber Boots, call them 'shoes'. If you're calling sneakers 'shoes' you're in a sad state of affairs.

I guess once you spend enough time down there you stop noticing that the entire place is littered with the carcases of 40 year old vehicles.



Love, trust and kindness? As long as you're not black, a democrat, an atheist, a muslim, a jew, french, shit, the list goes on so long I couldn't even write it out. What you really mean to say is, if someone looks, talks, and acts exactly like you, you like them.

I pinned this because I like this thread - fun.

I consider myself a southerner because I've lived here since a kid. My mother is a true southerner, born here and raised out in the country in a true log house put together with wooden pegs, and dad was a northerner (OH). I usually say: American by birth, Southern by the Grace of God.

I eat grits, collards, peas, cornbread, iced tea, etc., etc. I don't talk esp. southern, although I used to when I lived in north Florida. I have lost that quasi GA accent that I had at one time.

Some northerners come down here (actually a lot come to FL you know) and criticize everything. This is why bumper stickers were made that said "if you don't like how we do it down here, go back North".

As you know, the salaries are greater in the north and lower in the south, however the cost of living is more affordable. Having said that, I will say this: Having worked down here all of my life, I have dealt with many people from the north, usually wealthy people. They try to talk people down for lower prices, ad nauseum. This I find really annoying. I don't like any money grubbing spirits anyway, no matter where the person is from.

Also, making fun of southerners because we are more relaxed and talk slower (usually) is by no means a reflection of intelligence. I think it's funny that people believe this.

Regarding the movies business. Hollyweird is famous for portraying people in the south, usually Louisiana, TX and FL, as back woods, inbred imbeciles that live in or around swamp areas. I very much resent that. I just watched yet another movie, very disturbing in nature by the way, that gives the idea that all of us are like that. These type of people exist everywhere.

I recently witnessed a woman yelling and screaming at a truck driver (very large semi)because his truck could not enter thru the security gates where we live. She was railing, & going on in her NYC talk - just 'turible'. He remained calm and did not react to this. (He must have been from some southern state - heh.)

This is NOT how we southern women do things down here. I approached her with a helping hand type attitude and offered her some ideas for help and did what I could for her. She absolutely melted from the 'southern hospitality'. We southern ladies can teach you northern ladies some very helpful ideas as well as to how to treat others and get what you need.

We, down here, recognize the difference in the two cultures and allow for certain attitudes because "we know". I love y'all from up 'yonder' anyway. So y'all come.

P.S. What IS it with people from Indiana? I have met several people from that area. They are gems and just love being around them. And TX, well that goes without saying, doesn't it?

P.S.S. I have a niece who was transplanted from TX to Boston. She loves to come down here and really is not comfortable up there. Now she is what you call a true southerner. It's in her heart.
