I am from Kentucky and knew most of them.

I was hurt one time tho, when a girlfriend told me (she is from Alabama) that Kentucky was a northern state!!!!

Ninny:
I overheard two women talking one day when I hadn't lived in AL too long..My niece and I were listening in to the conversation and we laughed all the way home..I don't know if I can  write it the way they said it.... one lady says to the other.. "did you see those two guys last night?" the other lady, "oh LORD yes! I mean they were in the middle of the street and started yellin' at each other and before I knew it they were on the ground and they fowt and fowt! I thought it was never going to end!!" My niece and I looked at each other and said, "What?"  as the conversation went on I realized what they had actually done was "fought" it was a good old fashioned street fight! hehehe!

Another thing I heard after coming here was "pure" that guy worked so hard he got a pure blister on his hand!

and around these parts a person can work so late they work till "slap dark"!

Oh wow! A girl from Arizona just ain't used to such language!!  :o

Oh yes! I almost forgot..I have lived in Alabama now for 29 years...I can talk to someone on the phone and they ask me if I am from the North!! ha! or they'll say to me.."You're not from around here, are you?" There was a story someone told once of a man who was born in the west and came to Alabama as an infant, he died when he was about 90 years old and the inscription on his tombstone said, "He was almost one of us." hahaha!

my dad always told us to be home by "dark-thirty" when we were outside playing.  :D

and, here in TX there is a bumper sticker which is popular among some of the ford pickup truck crowd: "i wasn't born in TX but i got here as fast as i could".   silliness. :D

~All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect, animal or tree

Kate you have to include juck food on this list.

There is the popular RC and MoonPie Festivel in bellbuckle tn that is served with blue grass, when you are ready you can then go down the road to an enjoy Jack Daniels festivities.

I have never eaten a moon pie but they are all over the place dow here,  the new peanut butter version looks interesting.
