I find this funny but not quite accurate. I already put this in another forum that put this, but I'll add it here as well. lol...
It might be accurate for city yankees, but not country yankees...
"2) You think Heinz Ketchup is SPICY!" --I never heard of spicy heinz ketchup.
"5) You don't know what a moon pie is."--We had moon pies where I lived.
"
You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork."--I never saw anyone in my family eat fired chicken with a knife and fork. lol.
"9) You've never seen a live chicken, and the only cows you've seen are on
road trips."--Never been to PA, huh? Holsteins are very common to see. Plus many of my neighbors had chickens just running around their yards. lol.
"12) You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on a poodle." --That's definitely a city yankee thing.
"14) You would rather vacation at Martha's Vineyard than Six Flags."--I'd rather not go to either. lol. I'd rather go camping.
"15) More than two generations of your family have been kicked out of the
same prep school in Connecticut."--This is more of a Rich person thing. lol.
"18) You don't think Howard Stern has an accent."--He definitely has a New Yorkers accent.
"21) You don't have at least one can of WD*40 somewhere around the house."--We always had at least one can around.
"22) The last time you smiled was when you prevented someone from getting on an on*ramp on the highway."--I actually got more smiles and feeling greetings from the people in my hometown than I do in the town I'm living in now.
"24) The farthest south you've ever been is the perfume counter at Neiman
Marcus."--I don't know what a Neiman Marcus is. lol.
"26) You can't spit out the car window without pulling over to the side of the road and stopping." --My Dad is quite good at this. lol.
"31) You don't have doilies, and you certainly don't know how to make one."--We had doilies, and I can't make them, but my Grandmother could.
"32) You've never been to a craft show."--In my hometown, craft shows are like the most exciting things to do. lol. People go crazy about them.
"33) You get freaked out when people on the subway talk to you."--I actually had a pretty nice talk with a couple on the subway once.
The rest for the most part are true. Especially the BBQ one, though now I say "cook out", because I now know the greatest of Carolina BBQ. And I have had grain alcohol, but I did that once living in the South, so that one is pretty spot on.
"3) You don't have any problems pronouncing "Worcestershire sauce"
correctly."--I do, but I agree most Yankees don't.
"4) For breakfast, you would prefer potatoes au gratin to grits."--I used to eat grits when I was a kid, but also agree that most Yankees would want potatoes.
"7) You've never, ever, eaten Okra."--I have, but only once I can South, so this is pretty spot on.
"10) You have no idea what a polecat is."--This one is true. I don't know what it is.
"11) Whenever someone tells an off*color joke about farm animals, it goes
over your head."--This is more of a city yankee one, but most off color farm jokes I get.
"13) You don't have bangs."--I did as a kid, but not anymore. I don't really know how people wear their hair though. I usually don't pay attention, so you might be right on this one.
"17) Instead of referring to two or more people as "y'all," you call them "you guys," even if both of them are women."--This one is extremely true.
"19) You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun*and*knife show." --I haven't planned my summer vacation, but I have planned my weekends around a few. lol.
"30) You don't know anyone with two first names (i.e. Joe Bob, Billy Bob,
Bubba Kay Bob, Bob Bob)"--I have a cousin named Barbara Ann and a close friend named Jean-Marie.
That about covers it. lol.
"23) You don't have any hats in your closet that advertise feed stores."--This is true. We just have a bunch of hats advertising local plumbing supply places (my Dad is a Plumber/Electrician).
"27) You would never wear pink or an appliqued sweatshirt./28) You don't know what appliqued is." --This is very true, because I hate pink, and I don't know what appliqued is. lol.
