I was just watching the weather channel and they were talking about cold weather in the south and they proceeded to mention the snow in Kentucky as an example. I'm thinking NC, SC, Alabama, Georgia, Miss, and Tenn. Is this the general consensus?

2/5/2009 9:53:15 PM

It's somewhere in virginia...around where they dont serve sweet tea

2/5/2009 9:53:58 PM

for people from the north

its anywhere south of them


i would say below maryland

2/5/2009 9:54:17 PM

ever heard of the Mason-Dixon?

2/5/2009 9:54:18 PM

this reminds me of some dumb bitch in one of my classes who said "north carolina is considered the south? but it has north in the name!"

2/5/2009 9:54:37 PM

^ I hear that from my coworkers alllllllllllllll the time. At least they have the legitimate excuse of never having been to America in the first place

2/5/2009 10:01:21 PM

virginia and part of maryland? and oklahoma? i can't imagine being near D.C. and thinking i'm in the dirty dirty

2/5/2009 10:02:00 PM

Have you ever taken a history class?

Remember that part about that Civil War thing?

2/5/2009 10:04:08 PM

^that don't have anything to do with it. my uncle's from kentucky and him and his folks are yankees if i've ever seen one.

2/5/2009 10:06:21 PM

So you're saying you can't stereotype the population of an entire state?

Hmm

2/5/2009 10:08:26 PM

no, i'm just trying to incite the normal arguments associated with threads on this topic

shhhhh!

2/5/2009 10:10:55 PM

i mean, i generally consider it close to what mrpink said. id say the carolinas, georgia, miss, alabama. i put kentucky, tennessee, west va, and virginia all int he "northern south" bracket. still southern, but starting to see influences elsewhere. places like louisiana, arkansas, texas start to get out into the "western south."

definitely all southern though. this is mostly true for me since ive lived on the east coast and MS/AL is too fucking hick not to count.

2/5/2009 10:17:04 PM

Everything south of the Virginia-NC border and east of the Mississippi River. Excluding Florida.

2/5/2009 10:21:04 PM

I don't really consider Virginia in "The South."

Kentucky I guess...But I definitely draw the line at Tennessee and NC and below. Then Florida is just its own world.

2/5/2009 10:22:14 PM

Dark Blue - The South
Light Blue - Sort of the South
No Color - Not the South
Green - Texas

2/5/2009 10:40:44 PM

^^ ahaha this guy calls Virginia the "north"

wow

2/5/2009 10:41:16 PM

lol @ texas

2/5/2009 10:41:42 PM

lol Virginia is THEE south.

2/5/2009 10:52:36 PM

north of fredericksburg, va is the north. i've had this argument with JCASHFAN sooooo many times. Northern Virginia/DC Metro area is NOT the south.


although people still think you can find sweet tea up here

2/5/2009 10:54:51 PM

I consider DC the northernmost southern city. Plenty of sweet tea there.

2/5/2009 10:55:48 PM

See...I don't think there is just a North and South.

I think there's the South (which is what I said further up)...then there's like a "gray" area or "middle" consisting of Virginia and Maryland. Then everything above Maryland is the North.

2/5/2009 10:57:01 PM

i might include the florida panhandle in 'the south' category. shit gets pretty country in the swamps

2/5/2009 11:00:20 PM

there are some FINE ASS WOMEN in lexington kentucky, good lord have fucking mercy

2/5/2009 11:04:18 PM

maryland and northern/dc area va are definitely more northern

2/5/2009 11:09:19 PM

its cultural too

florida is about as far geographically south as you can get if youre not hawaii or texas, but they're not really considered part of the south

2/5/2009 11:10:28 PM

the deal with florida is so many old yankees relocate to the area that it's not even a majority of southern people, that mixed with immigration from the caribbean and sick beaches

2/5/2009 11:19:43 PM

virginia, north carolina, south carolina, tennessee, georgia, alabama, mississippi, louisiana

2/5/2009 11:21:25 PM

^^exactly

[Edited on February 5, 2009 at 11:22 PM. Reason : .]

2/5/2009 11:22:00 PM

lol I like the way Florida is colored in.

2/5/2009 11:24:16 PM

VA is definitely the south

maybe not NO VA closer to DC

florida is def in its own world

2/5/2009 11:25:24 PM

^^gotta love the 2 "sort of the south" spots in charlotte and i'm gonna say the second one is cary,nc rather than raleigh

2/5/2009 11:47:58 PM

i'd straight up say that charlotte is no longer part of the south. it very much was at one point, but it said fuck you and left.

and shit like that

when you start hearing that

then you are here.

2/6/2009 12:39:21 AM

people who think about this shit have nothing better to think about

2/6/2009 12:45:25 AM

minus south Florida (south of I-4). Not too many "southerners" down that way

2/6/2009 12:47:45 AM

Texas is Texas: It is not part of the south. Actually, Texans don't really identify themselves as southerners in the first place.

2/6/2009 12:47:52 AM

i consider the south a place i occasionally miss and like to visit, but i don't consider a place i want to live any time soon

2/6/2009 2:00:59 AM

after hearing approx eleventy billion racist jokes in the first 10 minutes i was in mobile for the senior bowl, I don't even know if atlanta is the south anymore

those fuckers down there are living in the 1700's

2/6/2009 3:09:03 AM

most of FL is still very much "the south" from a cultural standpoint (and obviously from a geographic standpoint).

I got a coworker from VA and there are some southerners there.

2/6/2009 9:29:29 AM

You will find rednecks and hicks everywhere. Some of the most fucked up people I've ever met live in NY outside of the city. Some of the smelliest and trashiest people I ever came in contact with where on Boston's T. Case in point this guy with a mullet and wife beater who got on that smelled so bad that people actually moved away from him. Why do you think country musicians can sell out shows in arenas in the North, Cali, and Pacific Northwest? Because there are rednecks everywhere. I was at the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta and there were these guys from Ft. Lauderdale that were some of the biggest rednecks I've ever met. They were watching the FSU vs. Miami game, and one of them would go on a racist tirade every time one of the Miami players would mess up, and probably called Randy Shannon the n-word 1,037 times that day. We just happen to have a higher proportion down here. I've got to say though that of all the Southern states I've been to, NC generally has seemed to have more sophisticated people.

I'm somewhat qualified to speak on Virginia's behalf, having spent most of my life around 10 minutes from the border and living there for a year:

It depends on where in Virginia you are. I'm assuming southwestern Appalachian Virginia is redneckish and southern (haven't been there enough to know). South Central Virginia is very much the south. Southeastern with the Hampton Roads area is questionable, it's tough to call. I would consider Richmond the south, but going north of there is where you start having to question it. Anything considered "NOVA" is definitely not the south, it is just a clusterfuck.
