There is no clear cut definition of what southern is. Southern can be a wide variety of things. I think there was a thread about this.

There has been hundreds of threads about this. Every thread about the south turns into this. I really don't understand why we can acknowledge how diverse evey other region is but the south has to be one giant piece of work. It's not just people from elsewhere, many southerners try to diictacte who and what is and isn't southern as if the entire south is just like their little section.

Uh. You're not going to see this in Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, or Memphis either.
