20 Ways to Know if You're a True Alabamian...


1. You can properly pronounce Conecuh, Cahaba, Opelika, Sylacauga, Oneonta, and Eufaula.

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

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

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.

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

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

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes.

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

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 have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

14. You aren't surprised to find movie rentals, ammunition, beer, and bait all in the same store.

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

16. You know everything goes better with Ranch Dressing.

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

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

19. You have used your heater and air-conditioner in the same day!


Finally:

You are 100% Alabamian if you have ever had this conversation:



20. "You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr Pepper."

In fact, so many of my friends have done this I don't even know why I am laughing.

The ones I left are the ones I've personally experienced (all but 2). THanks that made the day of this Alabama girl currently in Massachusetts.
 
So what's wrong with planning a wedding around SEC football? :rotfl2:

OMG, I just realized, no one else calls em' buggies? For real? :teeth:
 

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! this is all so true! my uncle is from minneapolis, but has lived in alabama about 12 years (with a slight detour to georgia for a while) and i STILL think he has a funny accent!









 
Im from Middle TN, and I've experienced almost all of those (specifically number 20. I've waited tables before) Maybe its just southern, instead of alabama?

I am 99% Alabamian.

#5 -- I had my niece living me with my California. We went to the grocery store and I told her to get a "buggy." She looked at my like I had three heads.

#20 -- everything to me is a coke (but I drink diet pepsi)


Let me add that my niece threw away a radio while she was here because it didn't pick up California radio stations. So just because we're from Alabama doesn't mean we're dumb!!
 
Ok this also applies to people in Arkansas apparently becuase all 20 apply here. :lmao:

1. You can properly pronounce Conecuh, Cahaba, Opelika, Sylacauga, Oneonta, and Eufaula. Do I get bonus points in knowing how to get to Sylacauga?

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.
I plead the fifth. I spent time in AL during July during an outage.
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. Yep---I had that conservation w/ NC Beast yesterday. :)

5. Stores don't have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.
I sometime say it---get from my AL born Dad.
6. You've seen people wear bib overalls at funerals. Nope, but I thought I saw one of my Great-uncle it to the viewing of my grandfather.

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent. A lot of my relatives do

8. You measure distance in minutes. Yep.
10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit. yes

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef. yes

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

13. You have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist. yes

14. You aren't surprised to find movie rentals, ammunition, beer, and bait all in the same store. yes

15. A Mercedes Benz isn't a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is. Some of my AL relatives think its a bonus if it has a gun rack

17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply. Some of my relatives---I did not learn well (see tag)

18. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them to your friends.
I say "fixin'" on a regular basis and was "fixin'" to send this to my Dad.
19. You have used your heater and air-conditioner in the same day!


Finally:

You are 100% Alabamian if you have ever had this conversation:



20. "You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr Pepper." Definitely

Sbella

I had put my answers in red.
 
Glad y'all liked it!

#12 cracked my up. I got married in the Fall on a Friday night specifically because of football season, mainly the Auburn/ Alabama game. My SIL ( a Yankee) got married on the day of the Iron Bowl & 18 years later still complains that everyone at the reception spent the whole time in the bar watching the game. :sad2:

Haveing been all over the South, I can see how these rules apply to other states. ;)

NC Belle-you get double bonus points. :thumbsup2

Pugdog007- War Eagle right back at ya!

Sbella
 
War Eagle!! :cheer2: :cheer2:



I have a neighbor that has a 06 vette and a Chevy Silverado ext cab truck. Guess which one has to stay out in the driveway, and which one gets the garage!! :smooth: Now that's classic Bama for ya!!

Well I am from Huntsville, so I'm not as redneck as the rest of you Alabama folk...







:rolleyes:

:rotfl2: :lmao: I've heard about you Huntsville snobs! Y'all only marry the second cousins, not the first, right? ;)

MickeyMouseGal- War Eagle!

I live in TN now but from Alabama. When I moved to East TN you would have thought I was from another country... everyone kept questioning my accent. I didn't have an accent, they did :) .

War Eagle! Class of '84!

And this list is sooooooo true except I had to get married around hunting season, couldn't touch anything close to football season.
 
*****ROLL TIDE*****​

That was hilarious but so true.

#3 We didnt have tornadoes to much in Mobile so sirens were needed. The few times we thought we heard a tornado we did go out to look at it.

#9 We lived 40 minutes from the Gulf but people still call it the ocean.

#17 Needs to be reversed, I did learn to multiply first... ;)
