I think that exact post is mentioned somewhere in our state legislature. "From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. From the inside looking out, you can't explain it." I think that is the best I can do for ya.

you forgot a few.
there is a differance between a 'caar taar and caar faar' (car tire and car fire for you non Texicans).
A Jalapino is the officle state pickle.
And we have the most beautiful women (blondes, brunnets, red heads and a few Deep Elum do's) in the country.
I work in the 'UpTown' section North of downtown Dallas and I am constantly stepping on my tounge!
Check out Primos over on McKinney and Hall street on a Thursday night.
To quote another Texican Chill Wills " People,people,people"

I gotta comment on this:

"A tractor is NOT an all terrain vehicle. They do get stuck."
Very true, but they are useful getting a truck unstuck..

*The wind blows at 90 mph from Oct 2 till June 25; then it stops totally until October 2. *
I am from West Texas...this is incorrect...I think it blows more than that...

*The sound of coyotes howling at night only sounds good for the first few weeks. *
Never get tired of hearin' em. Miss em now that I live in th' city. Fun to hunt also.

*"Sweetened ice tea" is appropriate for all meals
False, sweet tea sux. They drink it in the Carolina's

*You think everyone from north of Dallas has an accent. *
East Texans and West Texans have accents...Dallas is full of Yankees and Daves from Florida.

You see cars with the engine running in the Wal-mart parking lot with no one in them, no matter what time of the year. *
If Wal-Mart dont have it, ya dont need it.

You know which leaves make good toilet paper. *
This is not true! I would cut my T-shirt into pieces before I would do that. I was deer huntin', and my stomach hurt real bad...TP was too far away to wait.

*You know whether another Texan is from East, West, North, or South Texas as soon as he opens his mouth. *
Yep, this is true!

*A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop....It's a coke regardless of brand or flavor. *
100% true!!!
