You live in Orange County, CA? Are you friends with the OC housewives?!
Eww.
Wait. You're not? :laugh:0 -
I'm Jamaican so where do I start. smh
"You don't sound Jamaican"... Yes I do! not everyone in the US have the same accent thus not everyone in Jamaica have the same accent!
"Can you cook curry chicken/jerk chicken?"ect .... ugh
"Do you smoke weed"....No do you smoke crack? really? if you didn't know weed is illegal in Jamaica too geesh!
"Yeah mon" ...For crying out we don't say that!
"I hear it's dangerous there"... There is danger all over, we arent running around like crazy animals killing each other.
"So you lived near the beach right" ...no we don't all live on the edge of the island smh
"Where are you from Kingston"?... No! there are 13 other parishes you kno..
"I love Bob Marley"..Ok then, good for you I am not a huge fan0 -
I am from Vancouver, Wa and I hate when people say The "couve" It's Vancouver not the "Cove!"
Hehe.. ok, a little off the specific topic, but this reminded me of how everyone abbreviates everything here in Colorado... It's not Colorado Springs, it 'The Springs'... LoDo in downtown, sports teams are the Av's instead of the Avalanche, the Rocks instead of the Rockies... and I've lived here for 3 years now and I still have no idea what areas the traffic and weather guys are talking about when they reference 'the hogback', 'the turnpike', the 'switchback' and the 'mousetrap'... are people really this verbally lazy here? It's like you need a dictionary to speak 'Coloradoan' and that would probably just be a pamphlet of acronyms, abbreviations and symbols....0 -
You live in Nashville = you must loooooove country music.
Nope. Nashville offers LOTS and lots of other music genres. It's not all cowboy hats and rhinestones.
I live about 1 1/2 hours north of Nashville! I would move to Nashville if I could. Love it there!!0 -
You're from Lancaster? Are you Amish?
Do I look Amish? I bathe b----es. LOL0 -
I live in West Virginia...which apparently the majority of people in the US do not know is AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE STATE! No, I didn't say "Western" Virginia. Do you call it Northern Carolina too? (I'm not originally from here but it dumbfounds me every time someone doesn't realize it's a state.)
And, yes, most of the people I know have all their teeth.
And, no, they do not marry their relatives.
Okay, well there are a select few...

" I live in England"...
Oh my god, I am so very sorry.0 -
I live in south Alabama.. Yes I have a southern accent. Yes I like country music, Yes I live in a trailer.. but No, I am NOT a redneck, nor am I "Trailer Trash". There is a BIG difference, trust me.. but we are related to some of them unfortunately, LOL0

"You live in Missouri, the Ozarks?" "Are hillbillies real?" My reply....a resounding YES!!!! Those postcards that you see about the Ozark hillbillies...well, they are real. I moved here from Texas and will not ever say "you'uns". Also, I pronouce it Missouri, not Missoura. It has a darned "i" at the end, not an "a", lol.0

San Fran? :noway:

That one drives me more batchit than "Frisco"
Same with "Cali", It's CALIFORNIA!
I hate the San Fran and Frisco ones but I use the Cali one.
The one I hate most? Yay Area. Stfu up with that already!!0 -
Try being from Phoenix. Everybody says, "Oh, but the summers aren't too bad, right? It's a dry heat." Yes, a dry heat that makes you feel like you're being cooked in a freaking oven, thank you very much. :explode:
Stop comparing your stupid 90-degree/high-humidity summers to our 115 temperatures, okay? There is no comparison. Period. :grumble:
they dont compare...115 in Phoenix is WAY better than 95 and humid.
No Doubt Id beg for 115 and no humidity ...you have no idea what its like to be 96 F and 98% humidity.
for the record i have lived in both environments and as i said greatly prefer 115 in phoenix.
and then the rest of the year is absolutely wonderful. and practically no rain! and one of the sunniest places in the U.S.
if only we had an ocean that was a 3 hour drive that didnt affect our humidty.

"Say something in Jamaican" ...:huh: Jamaican is not a language dumba$$ it's called "Patois'!
Try watching The Harder They Come as an American-English speaker. Trust me, it's a different language! :bigsmile:0 -
I'm a Masshole relocated to Maine. I DO think there is truth to this statementEveryone from MA is a Masshole.... Ok.. so, maybe this one has a bit of truth.. I am a Masshole relocated to NH lol

Originally from Moscow so don't say stupid things like this to other Russians:
Oh so is it cold all the time (snow all the time)? Um, no. Google it.
Do you drink a lot of vodka? While this may be true for some Russians, don't assume all drink vodka. Way to stereotype.
Are you a communist? I just say yes at this point and leave it at that.
Oh here's a favorite: Do you know my Russian friend so and so? Why yes...it's not like Russia is huge or anything.
Are you a spy? Just like the communist question...I just say yes.
I know stereotypes exist for a reason, but come on!
Can you see Alaska from your backyard!!!! LOL! Sorry I had to throw that in! 0 -
"Oh, you're from OAK City" when reminding people you grew up in Oklahoma City. Yeah, there's no OAK in that (and NOONE from OKC refers to the city as OAK City)...Thanks, ESPN, numerous pilots on Southwest, and my boyfriend for constantly incorrectly referring to the capital of Oklahoma. 0

I'm from Virginia. No, I'm not a racist. That's my dad. No I don't eat grits. No I don't fry my own chicken. No, it's not really that southern in Richmond.0

"All it ever does in Seattle is rain!"
Please tell me why I have to water my yard all summer to keep it from dying due to LACK OF RAIN? lol0 -
My parents and I use to live in SC and a waitress at a SC restaurant once told my parents this joke:
SC Waitress: Whats the difference between a Yankee and a d*mn Yankee?
Mom&Dad: I don't know what?
SC Waiterss: A d*mn Yankee stays.
RUDE!
That is pretty funny =p0 -

I am from Alberta, Canada; I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader, and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dog sled, and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
That sounds familiar. 0 -
Not sure I would actually state our government is on the coast. Also I see a ton of entertainment through out the country(Sports)
obviously we have a little of everything in most places...but its concentrated on the coasts.
It's concentrated on the coast because waterways were primary transportation lines before the automobile for shipping goods! That's why for a long time in history the country didn't worry about crossing the Mississippi. I live near the East Coast, but I wouldn't say that all the good stuff happens on the coast.0 -
You grew up near Spring, Tx? Do you know Matt Bomer? No I dont. :noway:0
-
Not one annoying statement about San Diego. It is just just too damned awesome here.0
-
Yeah, well.... I'm from Jersey. Pretty sure there's no other state with a worse stigma attached. Maybe Florida because they're mostly bat **** crazy down there, but yeah.0

Oregon. It's or-i-gun, not ahr-i-gone. And, not it doesn't rain all the time (just feels that way about February or March.)0

I'm from South Carolina, and live in North Carolina.
No, we're not all related. No, it's not the same as Virginia. No, we don't shoot guns as we drive down the street. Yes, it's an actual city. No, we don't keep our money in the still. No, I don't think your racism is funny or cool. No, I don't have the rebel flag or a gun rack on my car. No, I don't have a hunting license. Yes, I've eaten sushi.
... What do you mean you don't have Cheerwine in your town? Heck, NO, 'm not movin'!
Ha.. =p Cheerwine is gross! And my high school and middle school...everyone wore rebel flag shirts, and had them on their cars. I was born and raised in NC and I live in Myrtle Beach now
