Y’all can’t call yourself true rednecks till you’ve lived in the South. Speaking of the best region in the country, in Tennessee a couple of stereotypes are
-Y’all and ain’t. Yes, we actually use these a lot.
-Gritz. Personally I don’t like them or eat it very often, but apparently everyone else does.
-Southern charm. Yessiree, this one’s definitely true. In general, you can strike up a conversation with anyone in public and it’s totally normal. It happens fairly often, and I’m pretty sure it’s tied to the South, but correct me if I’m wrong.
-Southern accent. Actually, where I live it’s about 50/50, and most accents are pretty faint anyways. Like I’ve probably got an accent, but it’s just super faint. A Utahn would probably pick up on it. But thirty miles in any direction, and you’ll definitely find a lot of people with the thick southern accents (which doesn’t mean they’re unintelligent!)
-Eating roadkill. No, no one actually eats roadkill. Except maybe a couple of hillbillies, which do, in fact, exist here.
