Here are some takes on how Southern folks look at Northerners (Blue Necks
are Northerners -- the opposite of Rednecks)
...YOU JUST MIGHT BE A BLUE NECK IF...
....Instead of referring to two or more people as "Y'all," you call them
"you guys," even if both of them are women.
....You think barbecue is a verb meaning "to cook outside."
....You think Heinz Ketchup is really SPICY.
....You would never stop to buy something somebody was cooking on the side
of the road (e.g., boiled peanuts).
....You don't have any problems pronouncing "Worcestershire sauce"
correctly.
....For breakfast, you would prefer potatoes-au-gratin to grits.
....You don't know what a moon pie is.
....You've never had an RC Cola.
....You've never, ever eaten okra -- fried, boiled, or pickled.
....You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.
....You've never seen a live chicken, and the only cows you've seen are on
road trips.
....You have no idea what a polecat is.
....You don't see anything wrong with putting a sweater on your dog.
....You don't have bangs.
....You would rather have your son become a lawyer than grow up to get his
own TV fishing show.
....You drink either "Pop" or "Soda"- instead of "Cokes."
....You've never eaten and don't know how to make a tomato sandwich.
....You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun-'n-knife show.
....You think more money should go to important scientific research at your
university than to pay the salary of the head football coach.
....You don't have even one can of WD-40 somewhere around the house.
....The last time you smiled was when you blocked someone from getting on an
on- ramp to the highway.
....You don't have any hats in your closet that advertise feed stores.
....You have more than one professional sports team in your home state.
.....You call binoculars opera glasses.
....You can't spit out the car window without pulling over to the side of
the road and stopping.
....You don't know anyone with at least two first names (i.e., Joe Bob, Faye
Ellen, Billy Ray, MaryJo, Bubba Dean, Joe Dan, Mary Alice or Kelly Rae.)
....You don't know any women with male names (i.e., Tommie, Bobbie,
Johnnie, Jimmie)
....You don't have Maw-maw's & Pawpaw's.
....You get freaked out when people on the subway talk to you.
....None of your fur coats are homemade.

Jeff,
I must take issue with one part: tomato sandwich...
Everyone knows it's an "M & M sammich."
(M & M stands for: 'Maters and Mannaise.)
Southern through and through,

Jeffy, in certain areas of "blue neck" concentrations, "you guys" comes out
like "USE guys"
