Are Northerners "blue Necks" If Southerners Are "red Necks"?
Now I'm sure that you have heard all about the Red neck. Now Here are some
takes on how southern folks look at their Northern cousins:
YOU JUST MIGHT BE A BLUE NECK IF:
1. You think barbecue is a verb meaning, "to cook outside".
2. You think Heinz Ketchup is really SPICY!
3. You don't have any problems pronouncing "Worcestershire Sauce"
correctly.
4. For breakfast, you would prefer potato au gratin to grits.
5. You don't know what a moon pie is.
6. You've never had an RC Cola.
7. You have never, ever, eaten okra, fried or boiled.
8. You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.
9. You've never seen a live chicken, and the only cows you've seen are on
road trips.
10. You have no idea what a polecat is.
11. You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on a poodle.
12. You don't have bangs.
13. You would rather vacation at Martha's Vineyard than Six Flags.
14. More than two generations of your family have been kicked out
of the same prep school in Connecticut.
15. You would rather have your son become a lawyer than grow up to get his
own TV fishing show.
16. Instead of referring to two or more people as "y'all," you call
them "you guys," even if both of them are women.
17. You don't think Ted Kennedy has an accent.
18. You have never planned your summer vacation around a
gun-n-knife show.
19. You think more money should go to important scientific research at
your university than to pay the salary of the head football coach.
20. You don't have at least one can of WD-40 somewhere around the
house.
21. The last time you smiled was when you prevented someone from
getting on an on ramp to the highway.
22. You don't have any hats in your closet that advertise feed stores.
23. The farthest south you've ever been is the perfume counter at
Neiman Marcus.
24. You call binoculars opera glasses.
25. You can't spit out the car window without pulling over to the
side off road and stopping.
26. You would never wear pink or an appliquÈ sweatshirt.
27. You don't know what appliquÈ is.
28. You don't know anyone with at least two first names (i.e. Joe Bob,
Faye Ellen, Billy Ray, Mary Jo, Bubba Dean, Joe Dan, Mary Alice).
29. You don't have doilies, and you certainly don't know how to make
one.
30. You get freaked out when people on the subway talk to you.
31. You can do your laundry without quarters.
32. None of your fur coats are homemade

I must be pure redneck.
RC cola and moon pies are still sold here
only one I didnt get was the appliquÈ
one... course I dunno how to say it either. lol
Also... Diet Rite... you should try it.
its like diet coke. Has no sodium or caffiene. I thought it sounded nasty but its very good. Tastes better than any coke Ive ever had.
Oh another blue neck thing...
When you ask for a coke you want a coke.
Here in the south all "sodas" or whatever you guys call them are cokes. lol
"Let's go get a coke" doesn't mean you going to get a Coca-Cola. lol

Funny, and probably almost all true! However, this Damn Yankee takes exception to the following:
#9: Contrary to popular belief, there are quite a few farms here in New England, so I do have the privilege of seeing chickens and cows on occasion;
#11: You wouldn't catch me dead with a poodle in a sweater (or with a poodle period, for that matter);
#13: It's too darn difficult to get out to Martha's Vinyard and too darn expensive to have fun once you do get there;
# 14: I don't even know anyone who attended a CT prep school. Virtually all the preppies come from outside New England;
# 20: I've got at least five cans of WD-40 hanging around somewhere, I just can't find 'em;
# 24: Ain't never been to the opera. I use binoculers to look at girls on the beach.
Other than that, I think you got it right!
