YOU KNOW YOUR FROM TEXAS WHEN...


*You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Ennis, Waxahachie, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Waco, and Amarillo.

*A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

*You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

*You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

*You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

*You measure distance in minutes.

*Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

*You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

*You know cowpies are not made of beef.

*Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

*You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your fist.

*You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.

*A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Chevy 3500 4x4 is.

*You know everything goes better with Ranch.

*You go to the river/lake because you think it is like going to the
ocean.

*You go to the gas station and there is a sign in the window that reads, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service!"

*Your family pet is the stray dog with one leg that came limping up to your door.

*You say "Up-their" when you are refering to a place "Over there".

* You say "yall" as if it was normal.

*You get made fun of for the way you talk.

*People always ask you if you own a horse and ride it to school.

*You get asked if you say "howdy"

*the weather can be sunny one day...rainy another and snowy the next.

*You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them to your friends.

*Finally you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation:

"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."

myLot reputation of 94/100. west_tx_goddess (449)  6 years ago

You got it! I live on Dr. Pepper! People actually give me a hard time about the way I talk. When I was younger and working in a grocery store I asked a couple, "Paper or Plastic?" The man said "What?" So I repeated myself. He was like where are you from hun, there's no way your from Texas. "Born and raised right here in the "Lone Star State" sir," I said. Then he asked me if that were true how did I get some New York or California accent...lol. I talk very proper to be from Texas so I agree some hold true some don't. Thanks for the response!

Love your Texas sayings! I love Texas (We're in Ft.Worth). My son loves Dr.Pepper and goes to school in FL. Guess what? Not much DP there. :-(

Oh my! I know now not to move to FL! LOL. Don't think I could live without my DP. I am in the Abilene area. Nice to see a fellow Texan on MyLot!
