You know you are a Texan if...

#1 Postby vbhoutex » Fri Jan 27, 2006 11:34 am

U R A Texan If:

1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio , Burnet, Boerne, Nacogdoches, Mexia, Waco, Amarillo, and Waxahachie.

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

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

4. 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.

5. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.

6. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.

7. You measure distance in minutes.

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

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

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

11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

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

13. You have known someone who has had a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

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

15. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.

16. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol; a Ford F350 4x4 is.

17. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressin'.

18. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

19. You actually understand this and you are "fixin' to" send it to your friends.

20. Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation:

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

I remember one time my Dad had a job interview at a paper company in the Lufkin/Nacogdoches area...and my folks and I did some house hunting around those areas. We had some fun with my maternal grandmother who had lived in Indiana at the time with pronouncing Nacogdoches. :lol: :wink: :)

Mexia threw me for a loop the first time.

Palestine is gonna take some getting used to.

I'm familiar with all the others except Boerne. Please tell me it's pronounced "born."

David's right. It's pronounced BUR-nee.

Sorry for bumping, but I saw the link posted in the Louisiana Truths! thread.
