15 Things To Never EVER Say To A Texan – And The Responses You’ll Get
Even though Texas is the friendship state, we probably won’t be so friendly if you utter these words in a conversation with us. So, if you’re looking to come visit this summer or encounter someone from Texas where you live, just avoid these questions and statements altogether – trust me, it will make your life a hell of a lot easier.
Just don't ask us about our horse, please. Chances are, we don't have one. And if we do, no we don't ride them everywhere we go. We don't live in the 1800s anymore, so most of us actually own vehicles that we use for transportation.
*Sigh* Let me break it down for you..
We actually have some of the most varied terrain in the country, and have eight different ecological regions. So yes, you'll find more than cornfields and prairielands here - don't get it twisted.
Well actually, we are home to some of the top universities in the country, such as Texas A&M, University of Texas, Baylor, and Rice University. And yes, most of us actually know how to read and write, because we went to something called "school" as children.
Okay, most of us don't own a farm. Most of us don't raise cattle. Most of us live in suburban neighborhoods in moderate to large cities. We'll probably just walk away if you ask this question, just warning you.
A lot of us drive trucks, but many of us don't. We drive these things called cars, also.
Yes, it's hot as hell here in the summer, but we're used to it here. We'll take the heat over ten feet of snow any day.
We'll probably just stare at you blankly if you say this in our presence.
Because, unlike up north where the snow is all fluffy and stays on the ground for days, ours melts within hours and turns into ice. And, we like to live so we choose not to drive on the roads in those conditions.
No, we would never dream of doing that here, and if you do, we will be appalled and greatly offended.
Football is a religion here, so if you dislike the sport, I'd keep my opinions to myself if I were you.
Yeah, highly doubt it. Anyway, any meat-loving Texan will defend their BBQ til the cows come home, so don't bother arguing.
Our diets don't just consist of deep-fried foods; we actually enjoy the taste of fresh fruits and veggies, too. Don't judge our eating habits, and we won't judge yours.
Wanna bet? Depending where you are, you can drive for 12 hours straight and still be in Texas. It's HUGE, and Texans know it. Don't try to tell us it isn't - we've driven the roads before and know first hand just how massive our state is.
Oh, really? Go to one of the big cities like Houston, Austin, Dallas, or San Antonio, and then see if you still have the same opinion.
Yeah, with almost 30 million people living here, we have a wide variety of musical tastes...imagine that!
Alright y’all, there’s your crash course on what not to say to a Texan – ever. What else would you add to the list?
