Southern Rules

[Waylander]

So if your from the south does that make you a Red Neck or a Slack Jaw Yokel, instead of a Yank?

Mavis..goone git me a pitcher o' dat crazy critter!!

Red Neck I can deal with. Might get you in some trouble you call me a slack jaw yokel. I am not Cletus.

[crashe]

Ruled by the same Queen. Same figurehead leader, same country

Now Waylander, I will tell you once and only once.

Australia and New Zealand are NOT the same country.
To even suggest that is so damn insulting to all us New Zealanders.

There is a huge ditch in between...
The Australians were sent there, cause they were convicts - you know criminals.
New Zealand became from people immirgrating here.

You know there are some southern Americans who never accepted that the confederates lost the war between the North and the south - of America.

Its these folks that will die believeing that they are not 'yanks'.

Well the fact of the matter is that you are all 'yanks' (americans).

So its time to get over it...

I also have a friend (female) from the southern area and Baptist to boot....
and I have her on all the time about being a 'yank'

Its amazing how fast you lot can be wound up...

Oh and Waylander, its time for you stop this, cos you are getting your NZ residency soon, then your citizenship...

Trust me Crashe, it would be easier for every NZer to stop calling me yank than for me to get used to it.

And as far as citizenship goes...Not for a good many years to come.

I thought the true Yankees were from New England ?

Texans can't be Yankees, because on 1776 Texas was part of the domains of His Most Catholic Majesty .

Part of the ViceRoyalty of New spain. Independant in 1836

Below, the original flag of Texas (before independance),the Lone star flag adopted in 1839 and the original flag of the Republic of Texas.

Southern Rules.

You missed some.
25. My wife, sister and female cousin can all be the same person.
26. We don't like any of that Darwin talk here. Who you calling monkey?
27. We got both kinds of music here - country and western.

[parsley]

you have to love the wrong guess on nationalities (sp)

Kiwi = Aussie
Canadian = American
American = Yank or Canadian
Zimbabwean = South African
Japanese/Korean/Malaysian = Chinese

Australian = Austrian
I have a special T-shirt for Americans I got in Vienna that reads "There are no kangeroos in Austria". Apparently there is some confusion about this among the Yank tourists.

Waylander.......this thread will last forever if you want it to, accept it, like it or not in the minds of every adult NZer you are a yank and no amount of cajoling, educating, threatning is going to change it.
YANK

[Gremlin]

on the other hand, you can try stop defending an ex-homeland and become a kiwi.

I don't bother mentioning how great south africa is yadda yadda (OK, well there isn't much great anyway) because I am a kiwi now. The way I see it, if anybody wants to bleat about how great their ex-homeland is, then why are you still here??

My mum overheard some south africans in the south african shop talking in afrikaans about how homesick they are... simple: GO BACK.

on another note, if americans can get so riled up about an internal division, then no wonder some countries hate them...

Somthing to help explain wich states are southern.
The Mason-Dixon Line was the border between north and south and ran along the northern borders of Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, (pronounced Arkansaw) and Texas.

So is that pronounced Texaw?

[Waylander]

So is that pronounced Texaw?

No.
