From my first day in the military (1970), every time I opened my mouth all I heard were taunts of "grit"..."how Yall" from other guys, mainly New Yorkers or New Jersyites who thought it was great fun.

I learned to lose my accent and to say that I was from some where else. This wasn't normal kidding, that I could understand but this was real prejudice. So this feeling by southerners isn't new.

I tell them to kiss my Ass

Most Yankees like to argue and confront but not throw punches

The threshold for physical violence down here is much lower

Get rude get hit

At least outside hipster clsss

In one generation southern upper middle class lads have gone faggy in all but name

It’s amazing

Nashville is overrun with them

Sissies and emasculated

No wonder blacks see us so weak

I have a lot of reason to be in upper Michigan

They are much crustier but I can deal with them

My biggest issue is a stranger there will get in your koolaid and scold immediately

It’s a squarehead culture thing and why they lean statist quicker

Southerner. Anglo Saxon and Huguenot and Ulster Scots are just more rebellious by nature

And we cling to the manners of the old gentry most of our ancestry aspired to at least

I got on well with loud New York City Italians

You have to be resolute with them....

The world has so changed....when I see bonafide southern boys I notice...more likely in rural areas

In my estimation the only real south left is rural or deep

Nashville is barely southern now
