oh yeah , YOU CAN ALWAYS tell where the south is when you enter a country family diner or something and you ask for grits and they dont have any and suggest hash browns instead...or they give you grits and they dont give you no butter or salt and youre left hanging and they looked shocked when you ask for some ....DC DID THAT TO ME, not north carolina..soooooo i think NC is still south

LOL, I'm from TX and my brother and I eat grits with sugar but my momma and granny eat theirs with salt and pepper. When I came to school (in Louisiana) and started doing that people looked at me like I was crazy! I think my momma put sugar in them to make us eat 'em when we were little but my big bro and I never stopped! Man I LOVE me some sugar grits!!! Anyways, back on topic.. :arrow: DC IS NOT THE SOUTH!!!! My homegirl is from PG county and she's always talkin about she's from the south and we had to politely correct her ****. Just cuz you're loud and country as ****doesn't mean you're from the south..HMPH! She always says "we're below the Mason-Dixon line so we're in the south" but there is nothing about PG county or DC that makes me think "ahh, I love the south." Honestly, I didn't like DC the three times I went up there in the past two years, so HELL NAWL, DC ain't the south! :x

yeah another thing you brought up....DC people thinking they from the south because they are loud and country....AHHHH HECK NAW....being southern also means "SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY" and having just a laid back attitude8) * (and a lil southern charm maybe)....and i aint seen that yet since ive been here from a DC native.....walk on the wrong side of the street or the escalator and see what a local will do to you:lol: Eek
