But even budge recognized her Catholic culture, we all just appreciate it differently. Plus, I'd think Latino Catholic culture is vastly different then whay you'd experience in Pittsburg. Cubano's don't have a 'thing' for Our Lady of Guadelupe either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archaeology cat Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If we're going just by regional culture, etc, then Southern explains me. I got irritated the first time someone called me a Yank when I lived in Egland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Living in Florida, it irks the hell out of people when I call anybody who lives north of Florida's border "beaver dam Yankees". Sorry, Kentucky isn't even close to the real south. If it snows there every year, or snow on the ground lasts more than 4 hours, it's Yankee-ville. My wife was born a Brit. Her relatives call me 'that bl**dy Yank'. Since they don't say Yankee, I'm good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense as hose states made up the heart of the Confederacy. Your definition is a little odd since it excludes the main driving engine of Southern nationalism: South Carolina I also refer you to Dixie: [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]In Dixie Land, where I was born in,[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][b]early on one frosty mornin'[/b], [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.

That must be why my personal irreverent definition irks the hell out of Georgians when I call them Yankees just because I happen to live in Florida without snow. It's about the 'War'. Got it now.

Adrestia Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I lived in Georgia for 9 years. They will fight you for daring to say that Georgia is not the heart and soul of the South. Ironically, the folks in GA considered TX part of the Southwest, separate from the true South. My friends here in TX take offense to that distinction.

fides' Jack Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yes, FQI gets upset when I call Georgia the South East, and Texas the South, even though geographically it's more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrestia Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I wonder how folks from NM classify TX. NM & AZ are definitely Southwest, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
