If your alphabet needs both R's and G's you are a Yankee.
EQ,
I agree with most of your statements except this one. Real Yankees (from New England) don't need no stinkin R's and G's
I beg to differ, the real Yankees are from the Bronx,
Real Yankees definitely don't wear Red Sox!
Do you now or have you ever eaten grits? If no you are a Yankee, if you put any sort of syrup on them you are a Yankee.
Without looking to reference material what day was R.E. Lee born? If you don't know you are a Yankee.
If you don't understand how a coke is an orange pop, then you are a Yankee. If your alphabet needs both R's and G's you are a Yankee.
If you don't get the whole Gold Bond Powder thing you are a Yankee. If the local fire dept. fish fry is serving Walleye you are a Yankee (and to be honest you are eating much better ). All fish is rolled in cornmeal and fried by the way, hell everything is fried for that matter.
If you ask for sugar for your ice tea you are a Damn Yankee cause all tea in the south is " Sweet Tea ", no such thing as ice tea.
Unless you are a Yankee when your girlfriend claims to have brought home mud bugs you get a big ol smile, cause you know your eating good tonight.
Finally Yankee is as much a state of mind as a point of birth. I'm from Il. ( proud to be from Illinois ) and I pass for southern all the time.
I've eaten grits and love them, no syrup needed. Just add a little butter and salt.
Can't say I know what day Bobby Lee was born without using reference material.
I understand how a coke is an Orange pop, BTW I also know Coke was invented in Georgia.
I have to admit, I need R's and G's in my alphabet.
I get and know about the Gold Bond Powder thing.
The local Fire Dept. fish fry usually serves breaded catfish, not Walleye.
Where I live, sweet tea doesn't need sugar.
We eat mud bugs when in season, especially when we get a chance to go to "N'awlins".
Six out of eight. Guess that makes me a? I don't know, maybe a confused Yankee?
or a lost southerner.
don't confound country with Southern
Guess SHOOTALL is right, I confused country with southern.
