Everyone knows that Georgians are usually mild-tempered, agreeable, and freeflowing with Southern Hospitality. But there are definitely a few ways that you can tick off a Georgian faster than you can say “Brunswick Stew”. So, if you want to keep in a Georgian’s good graces, then make sure you don’t try any of these 15 things.
Georgians take sports seriously. Whether it’s a child’s high school football game, watching UGA on Saturdays, or a season of keeping up with the Braves, we love our sports teams and to us, it’s not just a hobby—it’s a way of life.
Look, just because we live in the country, doesn’t mean we are illiterate. And just because we live in Georgia, doesn’t mean we all live in the country. Georgia is filled with beautiful cities too (not just Atlanta), with masses of people who all like to have a good time, and who are intelligent as heck.

It’s not. I’m sure it’s not. Have you ever had Georgia barbeque sauce? Oh, you didn’t know we have our own barbeque sauce?! That’s because our BBQ is just that dang good.

Hey, guess what, most Georgians aren’t rednecks. But in fact, Georgia does have a fair share of rednecks in the state, and they happen to be pretty easygoing and fun people. Ditch the misconceptions, because it just gets us MAD.
Look, Florida has some pretty fantastic attractions and beautiful beaches. But if you gave Georgia a fair shot, you’ll see that we have the same amount of awesome attractions, if not more, and some insanely breathtaking beaches of our own.
Sure, Georgia is one of the top states for agriculture production in the United States. But we also have plenty of other jobs that deserve recognition, too. Not everyone in Georgia runs a farm or knows how to operate a tractor (although, we do celebrate those who do).
Indeed, peaches are a hot commodity in Georgia. Heck, it’s the Peach State for cryin’ out loud. But that doesn’t mean that because we live in Georgia, we have continual access to said peaches. Besides the fact they’re seasonal, we need to go out and buy them like everyone else.

Sure, we say "ya’ll" in place of "you all". Does that make us stupid? Nope. In fact, Georgia has some of the best high schools in the U.S., right in their backyard, not to mention a handful of successful colleges and universities. So what do ya’ll think about that?
That’s like asking us which child we like best. Nope, sorry, we can’t do it. We love both equally in their very own special way.
Atlanta is great. Savannah is great. But there is so much more to our state than our big cities. You have to really set out and explore our small towns to know what we mean.
