I Am American (southern)
Knowing the difference between freshly cut grass and freshly mowed hay
Knowing what Dr. Enuf and Cheerwine is
Having a farmers tan is a thing to be proud of
Being called a redneck isn't an insult it just means you got sunburnt that day
Frying every food imaginable
Sweet tea means it's on ice
Knowing who to buy fresh home made sausage from
Having your farrier's number on the fridge
Being somehow related to everyone in a 5 mile radius
Knowing everyone in your town directly or by proxy
Walking on gravel isn't painful anymore
Stepping in cow or other livestock poo isn't a problem you'll just wash it off in the creek
Knowing it's App-a-la-chin with long a's
They are soup beans and delicious with fried potatos and cornbread
Not having to lock your cars or house at night because everyone has a gun and knows how to use it so no one is stupid enough to try anything
Ain't is too a word and damn near is appropriate at times
The smell of wintergreen tobacco reminds you of a family member or friend
