1. Save all bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.
2. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive 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.
3. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive.
4. Get used to the phrase "It's not the heat, it's the humidity". And the collateral phrase "You call this hot? Wait'll August."
5. Don't tell us how you did it up there. Nobody cares.
6. If you think it's too hot, don't worry. It'll cool down-in December.
7. A Mercedes-Benz is not a status symbol, a Chevy, Dodge, or Ford is.
8. If someone says they're "fixin" to do something, that doesn't mean anything's broken.
9. The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but the availability of shade.
10. If you see a slower moving vehicle on a two lane road pull onto the shoulder that is called "courtesy".
11. BBQ is a food group. It does NOT mean grilling burgers and hot dogs outdoors.
12. Yes, weddings, funerals, and divorces must take into account for deer season.
13. Everything is better with Ranch dressing.
14. DO NOT honk your horn at us to be obnoxious, we will sit there until we die.
15. We pull over and stop for emergency vehicles to pass.
16. We pull over for funeral processions, turn our music off and men remove hats or caps. Some people put their hand over their heart.
17. "Bless your Heart" is a nice way of many different things, lol.
18. No matter what kind : sprite, coke, pepsi, mtn dew, it isn't called soda or pop. Its all called coke.
19. If you don't like the weather in Arkansas... wait 15 minutes, it will change.

Thankfully the same can be said about Louisiana.

Texas as well. I've said many times that we would not have all the transplants here in the Austin area if they did SXSW in August when it's killer hot. But no, they do it in March so these out of state folks just love the temperature + atmosphere + have to move here.


Never mistake motion for action.

All true. Just one comment:

Ya’ll never ever refers to only one person. It is inclusive of a person and his group or the group such as family, team, class, etc. All y’all would be referring to two or more such groups.

Let us not forget that you can always spot a Yankee when he says dinner when he means supper.
