25 things that people in Texas are tired of the hearing

Let's discover the truths of the STAR STAR state.


It is no longer secret than, when it comes to status pride, Texans boast, well, part of the size of Texas. But it also means that Texans tends to become irritated when all non-Texans (especially these Northners with rapid conversation) have a bad impression of theirglorious state. For example, the days of overlapping horses at school have been left for a long time (for the most part), our landscape isnot A fridge sorry for tumblesed and cacti, and not all Texan you meet know how two steps. Chances are, if you avoid the subjects of these topics of a Texan company, you must touch a nerve.

With all false ideas floating around Star Star state, tales onTexas Can stretch to be about as big as a 10 gallon cowboy hat. In order to install you directly, we have compiled some of the questions and sentences you should not touch a 10-foot pole when you are with a Texan.

1
"You know you're notActually the biggest state, right? "

Refuge

Non-Texans delines to remind residents of the state of the solitary star that despite the mentality "all" bigger in Texas ", the state is nottechnically the biggest of the nation. According to 2018 Census Office estimates, California actually takes the price for the mostpopulous, with39.6 million people. (Texas, Fifteux, Clocks at28.7 million.) And when the comparison of the land, the Texas'268,580 square miles I can not even start measuring the glacial extent of Alaska 663 267 square miles. Nevertheless, the figures aside, with regard to the pride of the heart and the state, the Texans are serene.

"Does everyone lead his horses to school?"

Refuge

Abroad can be quite disappointed to learn that Texas schoolchildren lead a yellow bus to school, just like many moreyoung Americans. So when misinformed visitors impatiently ask for: "Do you do a horse at school every day?" The only appropriate language response in the language, a Texan can gather, it's "Nope, just every other day. We would not want them to happen too much!"

That said, this preconceived notion does not come out of thin air. Earlier in 2019, a senior Buna High School in Buna, Texas, took the meaning of "cowgirl" at the next level, celebrating his last day of high school by obtaining a special authorization toclimb his cow, Velvet, at school. (His friend, meanwhile, opted for the horse much more traditional.)

"Is high school football likeFriday night lights? "

Where you talk about the book, movie or TV show, the probable answer here is both yes and no. While Texas has legitimately won his reputation to createFootball Powerhouse, producing the tastes ofKyler Murray andAdrian Peterson (Just two examples in along List), the probability of living up toFriday night lights only depends on the school district. In some small cities of Texas, the whole community really comes together under theStadium lights Friday night To encourage their hearts for "autumn boys", while in other schools, the predominant sport is something else.

4
"Have you ever seen trees before?"

Refuge

Unlike popular belief, Texas vegetation is not limited to tumuzies and dirt. In fact, the Texas land can be very varied, Eastern Texas Piney woods in the country of Hill Hamelia (which you may be familiar with "Firebush") at, yes, deserts covered with Western Texas cactus. With that in mind, it is more likely that not that your average Texan has indeed seen a tree. In fact, there is aOfficial state tree: the pecan tree. While the jury is always about if this is pronounced "PEE-CAN" or "Puh-Kaan", most of the Texas will agree that there is nothing more sweet than the fruit of their tree d 'State, cooked in a homemade pie, of course.

5
"Is it true that everything is bigger in Texas?"

We will keep this short and sweet because it should be explicit enough: it will never benot be scary to use this as apick up the line in a bar. Please, stop ruining a perfectly good state slogan.

6
"How many cows do you have?"

Refuge

We recognize that Texas doesinitiateWith regard to the production of cattle of the nation (not to mention that 1 out of 7, Texans of work is used in a job of agriculture). But the probability that the average Texan you encounter has their own herd of cattle is still thin.

7
"Do you even know what the snow looks like?"

Refuge

Texas might not experience a real winter, but it does not stop young children with refreshing meteorological applications during the months of December and January in the hope that it could be cold enough for The rain remains sufficiently rain at night and cause the Superintendent cancel the school the next day. And even that even ice canCause the school to cancel (Texas bus drivers and buses themselves are simply not equipped to navigate these conditions), the snow is not necessarily mythical to Texas. About the next few years, there is enough accumulation (usually only two or three inches) for Texas young people to try the construction of a snowman.

"Where are your cowboy boots? And your cowboy hat?"

Refuge

The vast majority of Texans, especially younger,Millennial seniors- Do not make a pair of boots before moving in town. Ideme goes for the classic cowboy hat. While some of the most rural residents could have a pair of work boots or "agricultural boots", most city dwellers are probably probably kept at a pair of boots in our cupboards for a country-heeled dressing opportunity, like aKenny Chesney concert. Who leads us to our next point ...

"You do not wantlove country music?"

Refuge

Flash News: All Texans not evenAs country music! Of course, there is a sizable crowd of fan adores forCarrie Underwood,Luke Bryan, or the "king of the country" himself, native TexasGeorge Stroit-But it does not mean that Twang dominates all our radio stations and playlists. Think about it: if the country was the only kind that the state favored, then why the artists at the head of stage asAriana Grande WhereEd Sheeran Even disturb, including Dallas or Houston in their tour hours?

10
"How far do you live in Dallas?"

Refuge

This question is sure to arouse an eye roll of any Texan of the small town of oneself. At one point, they learn to intervene with the fact that the only Texan premises that seem to count the non-Texans are the major and famous metropolises, which are Dallas or Houston, with Austin and occasionally San Antonio as a runner. . UPS. When they identify as Texans with sketches, small town residents are used to react the number of hours that separate them from the urban hot spots of the state.

11
"Can you teach me two steps?"

Refuge

Just as the Texans do not come out of the uterus wearing a pair of cowboy boots of infantile size, they are not also introduced into the world with an innate ability to perform without defect dances in two floors Texas - or even Squares, to this case. . We are sorry to point out that the Texans are just as likely to have two left feet (although two left legs potentially dressed in steel tip boots) as other persons from any other state.

12
"What kind of truck do you drive?"

Refuge

Simple: This is the kind that looks like the spitting image of your Toyota Rav4 or Honda CR-V. Of course, Texas could be informed with more than its fair share ofpickup trucksBut that does not mean that you can simply assume that each Texan you meet, you wear the city in a F-150 Souped-150.

13
"Why is your focus so strong?"

Or, the other common issue of alternative emphasis: "You are Texas, why do not you have any accent?" The east point of Texasaccents-A lack of this one - cut the two directions. People are either delighted to hear the drawer that brands you like a southern citizen, or they are quite crack when you do not look like you just get out of aJohn Wayne movie.

14
"Why are you so obsessed with a gas station?"

Refuge

If you are not familiar with the craze of the gas station that swept the STAR STAR state, we only have a word for you: Buc-Ee's. This Gargantue Mega-Gas service station, which has now36 locationsThrough the state, has become practically loved. Featuring a fresh barbecue, fudge and roasted nut stations; variousa soda Fountains; And spacious toilet, it is not surprising that Texans train to stop at Buc-ee on a trip on the road.

There is even a whole merchandise section that includes Buc-Ee Stuffed Beavers, Buc-EE t-shirts and Texas's signposts. As a marketing expertMatt McCutchin explained toTexas Monthly, visiting Buc-Ee's appeared to a "Disney's Experience. "Taking all this into account, it may not be surprising that Texans get some defensive when you interrogate the obsession of their buc-ee.

But Texans do not keep the buc-ee at all themselves. The beaver with teeth of money can now be seen smiling in Robertsdale, Alabama and the chain isPlan to develop in Georgia and Florida in 2019 as well.

15
"Do not you think that 85 miles per hour is a little too fast?"

Refuge

This is not Texan's fault, everything is widespread, so dang is away. And as a result of the distance, we often find yourself from here, the state continues to rattle thespeed limits to the unprecedented heights. While the fastest Texas highways have a typical 75-mile cap per hour, there is a40-miles toll road section From Austin to San Antonio (State Highway 130, for all your inhabitants) that has a speed limit of 85 mph. You could say that the Texas drivers embody thewords of Sensation of 12-year-old rising countriesMason Ramsey: "If you do not have giddy-up, then Giddy goes out my way."

16
"What is the big deal about Aggies compared to Longhorns?"

Refuge

The greatest lamentation of Texans is that theThanksgiving Football game between the Texas A & M aggies and the University of Texas Longhorns ended in 2011, after the participation of A & M in the Southeast Conference. The rivalry between the two football teams (and truly, the two universities, to this case) is so profound that a member of the State body of the House of Representatives has drafted ainvoice To restore the traditional game, according toTexas Tribune.

It does not matter whether you attended another great University of Texas, such as Baylor or Texas Christian University. When it comes to, each Texan must choose one side: they are a brown bleeding aggregate or a Diehard, burned Orange de Longhorn.

17
"What do you mean you say a commitment to your flag of your state?"

Refuge

Recite immediately after the promise of allegiance to the Americanflagand just before the moment of silence, all Texas public schoolchildren know thecommitment: "Honor the Texas flag; I undertake allegiance to you, in Texas, a state under God, one and indivisible."

"Oh, we have Tex-Mex in my state too."

Refuge

No, you certainly do not do it. All restaurants that serve a pile of chips and a saucer of the aqueous red salsa marry to establish a good faith establishment, trustworthy of Tex-Mex. Renowned for its focus on Fajita meat and American and American yellow cheese goes (LU: Queso), the true Tex-Mex came sizzled on the stage at the beginning of the 20th century, according toTexas Monthly. Simply put: if you are not in a Texasrestaurant, then it's not true Tex-MexChili con carne Whether you eat and Texans have the undeniable authority to tell you.

Refuge

Of course, your average Texan has probably been to a rodeo or two, whether it's a SHINDIG low-key county or the Gargantuan event that is theHouston Livestock Show and Rodeo. But do not get ideas. Just because a Texan has been a rodeo spectator does not mean they can show you the ropes to buckle a perfect lasso around a leader.

20
"You need transit in common."

Refuge

Absoutely. Texans will go on that, as soon as you show them how to conceive aPublic transit system This represents a state that extends up to 80 km from the north to south and 773 km from east to west, according to the good »OLEAlmanac State. For a little context, it means that San Diego is closer to El Paso than Houston (a distance of 724 miles, against 745 miles, respectively). This point is that it will have to be in public transit on a little large scale as the high railways of Chicago or metro tunnels under New York.

21
"What do you mean, do not you have a coat?"

Refuge

Usually, a laminated thermal shirt under a sweatshirt is sufficient to get Texans through the three weeks of the year when it starts to feel like winter. There is no need for a coat when the temperature scarcely exceeds in the years Fahrenheit. A thick jacket from the North or CARHATTART will do very well, thank you very much.

22
"It becomes warmer in other places, you know."

Of course, Texans will concede that the heat in their state can not compete with the three constant three-digit summer temperatures, say,Death valley. But do people from other states have to deal withmoisture levels More than 40% or 50% ratchet on the "actual temperature of feelings" of about 10 degrees, which makes a summer day suffocating yourself as a sauna from which there is no escape ? No? That's what we thought.

23
"Why are you so obsessed with the barbecue?"

Refuge

The Texans will probably admit that they have a pretty healthy (or unhealthy obsession, according to your food views) with the chest, ribs and sausages (with potato salad spoons, a cabbage of cabbage and macaronis and cheese on the side). But this gastronomic fixation is not no cause, because you will soon understand if you frequent one of the most historical barbecue joints of the state, asSnow's BBQ in Lexington, or Austin'sFranklin Barbecue.

As a new proof of the quality of the barbecue in Texas,Texas Monthly hired the country and uniqueFull-time barbecue publisher,Daniel Vaughn. After traversing the state to complement a wide culinary research, Vaughn compiles a detailed classification of Texas'Top 50 Barbecue producing restaurants every four years. So, until you loaded your plate with a range of meat of an authentic BBQ to Texas BBQ or five, expect Texans to be offended when you wonder their commitment to "Cue".

24
"Do you have a petroleum well on your property?"

Refuge

You may be disappointed to learn that your average knowledge of Texas has no connection with the booming petroleum sector than the state boasts. Your erroneous hypothesis is a little eligible - after all, the STAR STAR state is the first producer of crude oil and natural gas, according to theAdministration of information on US energy. That said, if a Texan takes place to be connected to oil biz, the probability is that they are employed by an oil company - they do not necessarily have a Gurchling oil oil in their garden.

25
"You are too proud of your state."

Texans could act bored and even get a tag defensive when you try to accuse them too muchpride of stateBut they appreciate it secretly when you notice their unshakeable commitment to Star Star state.
