Most stereotypes of Oklahoma have some truth to them but are somewhat exaggerated...........
However the one that is NOT true is that Oklahoma is "flat and barren". While parts of the state are flat and some of the state is barren, most of it is undulating terrain with some long hills and small mountain ranges thrown in. Much of the state is forested albeit a lot of it is thick scraggly hardwoods.
EddieG!........shhhhhhhhhh
This is the ONE THING keeping the transplants out for years.
100% agree. It was just funny to me when Southerners claimed they did not have a Southern accent just because they couldn't hear it and other Southerners couldn't point it out because it was much lighter than theirs. As someone not from the South, I could always hear the Southern accent in anyone regardless of how light it was. Not everyone had one, but if they did, I heard it. And those light accents often led others to believe that individual didn't have a Southern accent just because it was so much less noticeable than others'.
I used to work as a corporate trainer and traveled all over the US to various offices. Believe me, people have accents EVERYWHERE. Even when they are swearing up and down "No, YOU'RE the one with the accent." Newsflash - everyone has an accent.
Well I will say that's something I never would've imagined. But I think we could agree that Mississippians having a Southern accent is not a contradictory stereotype.
There's a YouTube video of the 50 states accent. Everbody act out there state's accent and the Mississippi one had to act with a "southern" accent yet his regular accent is generic american accent.

If the acccent is dying in MS, then accents must be dying in all 50 states
