Are Southerner's Hostile towards Yankee's?

no no no. when its so goddman hot you is sweating in the fucking shade, ouch its sucks. and after katrina the heat was like this with no power for 3 months at my house, well actuaslly my moms house i had no home after katrina

this thread has actually turned into something i have enjoyed reading. prolly the first thread is this subforum i have enjoyed in a long time
 
you would totally melt down, it gets 98 degrees with 90% humidity making it feel like 110. i hate summer time allways. i have lived in the south for 29 yrs and have never gotten use to the heat. i have grown to hate it more the older i get. but being on the coast insures fresh seafood allways and i love that
 
i love the fact that we have all 4 seasons and i get to see leaves change and snow fall the heat isnt too bad here but the humidity is killer
 
Seasons are overated. Here it was a sunny 76-78 degrees high moderate humidity. Now its about 68. In my house I have neither an air conditioner nor a heater- aint needed.:p
 
i love the hot ass weather. Its funny when ppl from the south be like oh you just dont kno wat its like there aint no way u can like it if u lived here.Unless ur in arizona or somethin, then i can understand, but otherwise? it aint like we never had 100+ degree weather with high humidity for long spells at a time. I love that shit, when i am sweatin and just want to lay down cuz i cant barely stand up from it, when everything is like a wet sticky oven...IDK, I just love it, the feeling, standin on the corner eatin a ice pop watchin the heat waves ride over the pavement of the road.to me that summer.I aint got air conditioning so I got to deal with it and learned to love it.
 
is an ice pop a frozen coke lacey? :)

and if NJ calls 8 months outta the year 89- 100 degrees with 95% humidity then yea maybe you can relate . but i kinda fail to see how your climate can be anywhere near what it is here being a sub-tropical environment around my way.
 
You know what I'm tired of though? Yankees moving to florida and decided its too hot, so they blast their air conditioning day and night. How about a bit of fucking environmentalism? Aren't you supposed to pretend you're liberal or something? About 5 minutes without the A/c will get you used to the heat, either that or fuck off back north and stop invading florida.
 
shit iam a native of mississippi and i blast my A/C 24/7. A/C is raptor jesus in my house, my business, and my car. the environmentalist can be hot a sweat allday long whilst i sit and be colder than a freezer, cooler than a fan.

I wish I saw this earlier. This is a topic I've been contemplating a lot; southern culture and such.

Most southerners aren't hostile to northerners just because they're from the north, rather the term "Yankee" is reserved in the culture to insult a northerner for other offenses committed. Like if a northerner cuts you off it's "goddamn Yankee" instead of "bad driver". It's the same for the term "nigger" for black people, which makes southerners look more racist than they really are.

One of the offenses though, can be against the culture. This means being friendly and always non-judgmental(only in certain areas though). In the South it's polite and in some cases socially required to engage those you meet. This means from conversing in the gas station to waving at another car on an isolated road. After living in a city this becomes a very easy way to be rude.

The dress code in the South is very casual, which is quite different from the cities. You don't have to worry about shaving, finding a shirt without holes, or washing your dirty hands. The northerner, or at least the northerner from a city, would most likely do what he's always done and dress nicely, which is fine, but dressing nicely to go to a casual place raises suspicion of pomp. To a southerner dressing up is to impress, and if there's no one you need to impress you must be showing off. On it's own though it's fine, so long as you don't act smug.

On the judgmental side there are social rules to follow. It's a conservative society so you shouldn't try to represent your individuality with flamboyant clothing. The people who do that here are rednecks(the ones giving us a bad reputation!). Don't criticize religion in public. While this only pits you against the fundamentalists it is considered arrogant and not socially acceptable. Don't equate the flag with racism. To us(who aren't racist) it's a regional flag and if we have to take it down it's like erasing a part of our culture. To you it may symbolize racism, but what do you know? You're a Yankee.

Ohh, and don't assume a Southerner is a Southerner. We're not all uneducated, fundamentalist, hypocrites. Like any other place in the world we have classes and subcultures.

Interesting post, interesting thread. I haven't been anywhere in the south except for Orlando, FL, which many I'm sure will say isn't really the south but a retreat for northerners (I barely heard one southern accent while there). The comments about dress made me chuckle to myself... I grew up in a rural/suburban area in NY and it doesn't matter what you wear, as long as you're not naked... That being said why would it matter if you're dressed nicely? I like it when a nice looking girl (or even guy for that matter) is dressed very nicely. I would probably suppose that this person is going for a job interview or works in a high-end retail store or something....why jump to conclusions about their attitude? (I'm not trying to pick on you goatofthenever, it's just that your post was the most interesting for me to quote!)

Having grown up in a pretty rural area in NY and from discussions with other people from various areas of the country every rural area in the USA has its share of hicks/rednecks... It's not just in the south, although the hicks in NY seem to really identify with southern culture (ie, accent, sometimes the racism, love of drag racing, other stereotypes, etc.). So be proud, south! All the backwoods folk (how better to say it?) in the country seem to identify with you! That being said, I find the south to be one of the most interesting places in the WORLD (I was born in Europe), and I'm planning on spending a long time road-tripping through the southern US once I've saved up enough to afford it.

On the topic of the road trip, I'll be doing it in a muscle-car era vehicle which should resonate well with southerners, but I really hope I don't (and don't really expect to) encounter any hostility towards northerners. I will be driving through with my NY plates, of course. I just hope for an interesting and enlightening trip, which I'm sure I'll have!

As far as the derogatory term "yankee" is concerned, up here the only meaning it has refers to the baseball team (usually not derogatory); but I'm sure if it's said in a certain tone and accent, it could sound nasty.

I'll admit, I've made fun of (and many Europeans I know have) of southern stereotypes, but of course it's immature, and I know better than to pigeonhole millions of people with a very interesting culture and history. Here's to being a well-rounded person that appreciates EVERY PEOPLE AND CULTURE!

"i know where florida is and all but is it really considered "the south" ?"

the atlantic coast is mostly populated by ppl from the north and other areas. I don't think orlando is even on the planet so it's def not southern. the gulf coast from clearwater to naples is also populated by ppl from up north and other places. north central florida, the gulf coast north of clearwater, and the panhandle are the most "southern" parts of florida.
when I lived in miami/ft lauderdale/palm beach, almost everyone I knew was from somewhere else. in north florida, most ppl I know were born here and many families have been in the area for many generations.

as far as hot weather, it's not so much the temperature, it's the incredible humidity. sometimes the air is so thick, it feels like you're trying to breathe while underwater.

florida's a diverse place. lots of diff types of people, lots of diff environments. away from the tourist areas, FL is a great place.

Im pretty sure he was joking lacey. :)

Im from Milwaukee, WI and when I moved to the NC beach suburb areas/downtown Wilmington, downtown areas... I did notice, some southerners had a different attitude towards me. They made assumptions about my personality/habits and acted like I was a dumbFUCK if I didn't know what something southern as hell was. This guy at the restaurant I work in. Asked for a fucking "american sandmich" and I was like what size sir? Not even knowing what an "american sandmich" was...... he said "WHITE" like you know a fucking kkk leader. "WHITE IS RIGHT!" And I said "do youwant a veggie sandwich with american cheese sir?" and he responded "what what.... just veggies and cheese. what what wha wha what the, you dont know what an american sandmich is boy!?" and I said "no im sorry" he replied " boy its HAM, BOLOGNA, AND AMERICAN CHEESE, GOT IT" and I was like sure got it. I mean wtf.

And I dont get these people that are rude to me right before I got make they're food, if I was a real asshole I could rub my weiner on it or worse. The cops fucking treat me like hold when they come in so they KNOW the chance of they're food getting tampered with goes down. And they order cold sandwiches so the food doesnt leave there sight (hot sandwiches go to the back LOL). This one cop orders a Turkey Ham and Cheese everyday. And before I make it, as hes walking in, I yell footlong thc, extra thc to the guy on the register. At first he didn't smile or think it was funny. But now he accepts my pothead ways, and realizes im more kind than the average joe out there, and im not out to hurt anyone. Im slowly growing on the police. Even though they know I love me some pot, they are backing off of me on everything else they usually go for. Sorry for long post, just got clean and it feels like im on stimulants now. My real brain is back.

See, I don't think you understand Lacey, It's not 100 degrees with 100 percent humidity sometimes, ITS 100 DEGREES WITH 100% HUMIDITY EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR 4 MONTHS STRAIGHT! It really sucks when you take a shower, put on a nice new outfit, walk outside and in 5 minutes your soaking fucking wet like you just ran a marathon through a damn swamp! Your whole body is sweating, your socks are freaking wet, which makes your new shoes stink, you gotta take 3 or 4 showers a day or otherwise you smell like a dog, trust me, when friends move down here from up north, they have a very hard time dealing with the heat their first couple of summers here. Also, there aren't houses or apartments here with no AC, it is a state law, you are required to have a working air conditioning unit in your dwelling, and its hotter here than in Arizona because of the humidity, there is 0 humidity in the Southwest and there are desert winds which keep you cool, but down here when the Heat Index is 115-120 it not only is uncomfortable, it is deadly, it can and will KILL YOU, we have heat advisories and sometimes the city will put out a warning for no one to spend more than 30 minutes outside at a time, when they have an code orange warning, employers have to let all their employees who work outside off work for the day. It's raining here today so the high is only 90 but with the humidity the Heat Index is 96, and its pitch black out and storming today!

Atlien's got it. You feel like you can cut the air with a fuckin butter knife most of the time. It's been storming like hell off and on over the past couple days and it's still hot as hell, cools it down for a few and then the humidity just skyrockets even higher. It isn't too bad if you are going to hang out at the lake and can jump in every half hour or so. I don't care though, I love the south and all that comes with it.
