1. Okay, "Northerner" really means "Northeasterner."
2. And by "Northeasterner," we really mean people from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
3. Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire or Rhode Island are nothing more than tiny, under-populated states packed with hicks. We have a strict "don't ask, don't tell" policy when it comes to what they do.
4. Rhode Island is Massachusetts' "little brother," always trying to outdo its larger sibling. Note to the rest of the United States: Rhode Islanders have the *really* thick accents.
5. We don't care about the Civil War. At all. We don't ever think about it, unless you bring it up. It's like the South is some bitter ex-girlfriend whining about a breakup from 100 years ago.
6. If pressed on the matter, we shrug and think, "We won." Then we move on.
7. It scares us that the South actually feels like it should have won. I mean, if it won, then slavery is still around. Why aren't Southerners happy they lost? Okay, I suppose we're all sorry about Sherman. But still, without him, you'd have even more hick towns. You should thank us already and let it go. We're over it.
8. That said, we know the South has prettier girls. But ours are more promiscuous.
9. California is the only state that's in the "West." Everything else is "near California." And Oregon and Washington seem like the same place, but Idaho? We don't know what Idaho does, besides potatoes.
10. The real "South" is Alabama, the Carolinas and Georgia. Those states scare us deeply. Sort of like when the opening theme to "Unsolved Mysteries" kicks in. Same feeling.
11. Tennessee and Kentucky might as well be the same state for all we care. Don't they both have a Memphis?
12. Texas isn't part of the United States. It's just "Texas," land where everyone looks like Boss Hog. That's all we feel we need to know, honestly. Big hats. Boots. Oil. Cheerleaders.
13. A long drive is two hours. A short drive is 15 minutes. Anything over 4 hours requires a plane ticket. Period.
14. Midwestern is a synonym for "naïve."
15. California is a synonym for "shallow." Los Angeles is where shallow people become famous. Hollywood is where the famous, shallow people get arrested for shoplifting or overdose in bars.
16. Florida is where old New Yorkers go to die. Las Vegas is where they feed.
17. And while we're here. Las Vegas is considered a Northern city, but Nevada is not part of the North. It's just like how you eat the banana and chuck the peel.
18. Southerners, just by the very sound of the accent, are always less intelligent. It's not our fault that they sound like Jolly Ranchers are stuck in their mouths. Fix that, get rid of the Confederate flag and maybe we'll take you seriously in something other than college football.
19. It's funny to watch people in the South drive in snow. They always panic. Dozens perish. We usually make bets on how many die.
20. Tornados and earthquakes aren't real. Are they? C'mon!
21. We have no idea why we'd ever go to Arkansas, New Mexico, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Utah, Missouri and West Virginia. Nor do we have any urge to. We don't know anything that's there, aside from college teams we root against.
22. Sitcoms in New York City = funny.
23. Sitcoms set elsewhere = less funny.
24. What's in the Southwest? We're kinda curious.
25. There is no fundamental difference between South Dakota and North Dakota, or even South Carolina and North Carolina. Couldn't they come up with more original names at some point?
26. But Virginia and West Virginia? It's like George and Lenny in Of Mice and Men. Big scary difference.
27. Hawaii or Alaska aren't "real" states. They're like junior college transfer states.
28. Washington D.C. is as far south as we feel we need to go.
29. Minnesota is a really strange place, ain't it? Prince, Former Governor Jesse Ventura, Randy Moss. Frightening.
30. The Miss America pageant is rigged so that Massachusetts sends the ugliest girl in the history of the female gender. The last one looked like Ted Danson. Yes, really.
31. If a sport can be held at a country fair, then it's not a sport. Competitive cheerleading? Professional auto racing? Bull riding? Northern sports are played in arenas, centers, gardens and the occasional field.
32. We were never impressed by the Houston Astrodome.
33. Tanning isn't something that just happens, you know. It's a hobby. We need to work hard to get sunburns that require hospitalization.
34. The rest of the country has strange fast-food places and universally crappy pizza. Do they screw up the pizza on purpose because we show up?
35. Chicago is really part of the North, not the Midwest. We traded Pittsburgh and the rest of western Pennsylvania for it. Good deal when Pittsburgh was a steel town.
36. We can't label the Midwest on the map, but we know it when we see it. Mostly because it has freckles and a bowl cut. If it's female, it has on the tight sweater.
37. There's really no reason to see the rest of the country when everyone's always coming here. We'll see them when they show up in Philadelphia, Boston or New York.

I have to disagree here. For one thing some southern girls come up north to give the big city a go. Secondly women from all over the world visit NY. Thirdly career women in business suits are just damn hot.

Florida has hot girls! But they don't really count as the south, in a traditional sense. Actual Florida (i.e. not Gainsville/Jacksonville/Tallahassee) is waaay more "Northern" than all of New York (excluding Westchester, Yonkers, NYC and L.I.)
I would say notherners have the distinguishment to admire Stonewall Jackson, but definitely not Andrew Jackson.

And there aren't any people living in between NYC and LA:
They live in the abyss, ether, void and that place in platform video games where you sometimes accidentally flip one of your cars or characters way too far past the barriers of the map and then you just keep on falling into nothingness until you reappear on the ground again.

Texas is the only state that can still become its own country. We have our own constitution, as messy as it still is... and we can fly our state flag at the same height as the US flag.

Lol.. dorks.
Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean Southerners can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows.
If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four-wheel pick-up with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
You can ask Southerners for directions, but unless you already know the positions of key hills, trees and rocks, you're better off trying to find it yourself.
Remember: Y'all is singular. All y'all is plural. All y'all's is plural possessive.
Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?"
Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you, either.
The first Southern expression to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "big ol", as in "big ol truck", or "big ol boy".
"Fixin'", as in "I'm fixin' to go to the store", is 2nd. And "Y'all" is 3rd.
As you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone directly in the middle of the road, remember: ALL Southern folks learned to drive on a John Deere, and this is the proper speed and lane position for that vehicle.
If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!", stay out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever say, or worse still, that you will ever hear.
Most Southerners do not use turn signals; they ignore those who do. In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a Southern license plate, you may rest assured that it was already turned on when the car was purchased.
The wardrobe you always brought out in September can wait until December.
If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the most minuscule accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It does not matter if you need anything from the store. It is just something you're supposed to do.
Satellite dishes are very popular in the South. When you purchase one, it is positioned directly in front of the house. This is logical, bearing in mind that the dish cost considerably more than the house and should, therefore, be prominently displayed.

And Philly, which basically stole a bunch of new yorkers to come make pizza. I would NOT eat pizza in Michigan. It was disgusting. I won't even eat it in Chicago. This is actually the one I was nodding to. You can't get good pizza anywhere in the US except the upper east coast; this also goes for cheesesteaks. Period. End of argument.

You take a lesser type of meat, tenderize the hell out of it, then batter and fry it. In the end its easier to chew than steak, and has the extra flavorings of the batter and a different sauce. Usually done with gravy, or if your like me Heinz 57 sauce(ketchup, is there really anything else?)

I have different batter receipies for CFS. Its an excellent thing to experiment with depending on how you like the batter to taste when done.
Add a little white or brown gravy and one must not forget a dab of ketchup to give it a little extra flavoring.

That covers many many "American" cars and trucks now. You Texans must be the happiest people on earth.

Happier than a tornado in a trailer park.

Its a southern thing.
Northeasterners wouldnt really offer to help pull a guy out of a snowbank, would not be caught dead riding in a pickup truck, and the thought of getting their hands or their itallian leather loafers dirty is enough to give them nightmares for at least two weeks.
On your first part, I agree. But I call bullshit on the second, Buffalo has more pickups than any other type of car, followed closely by SUVs. We're straight up industrial, man.
Oh, and just because we have pickups, doesn't mean we'd stop and help people out with the Goretex and the Teflon jackets. Only if it's Blizzard of '77 bad.
