    I know Texas isn't "southern" but technically, we're the most southern of all

    Well, don't forget Florida for the 48 and Hawaii for the win.

    Why do southern folk have two names together?!

    MaryAnn. GingerLynn. SarahBeth. RickyBobby.

    Not all of us do. I go by one name.

    how is Texas not southern?

    I'm from WV which is technically southern, though we seceded from VA because of the Civil War and wanting to be a member of the Union... so... I don't know about us. I wouldn't consider myself southern, but I know plenty of people in this state who would.

    I'm not sure what I am trying to say.

    Texas is Tejas

    Just because it lands south on the map, dont make it Dixie.

    Hawaii is further south than any other state but it's hardly Southern.

    People seem to think Southern is like southeast (Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, etc)

    Add:

    North and South Carolina
    Alabama
    Arkansas (?)

    Missouri was the south in 1860 too.

    I get that.

    I always used the Civil War as the definer, and if a state was part of the Confederacy, then, to me, it is considered southern. I can kind of see it as being "southwest" from a regional standpoint. but at the same time, it has south in the name.

    You just said it.

    You were born in California.

    Add that with 'pretty much ' and we figure you for a Damn Yankee .

    Texans don't consider themselves Southern; they consider themselves Texans.
