Fascinating Quirks of Texans
Howdy! Welcome to Texas, y’all!
You might think that the Lone Star State of Texas is all just cowboys and beers. Only when you actually live in this region that you realize you have thought them all wrong.
Might as well check these Texan quirks out and beam with delight as I give a quick rundown of what only Texans can understand.
Everything is bigger in Texas. As the second largest state in USA, it is only common reaction for foreigners coming to Texas to be overwhelmed at how big everything in Texas is. Stretched in view are the terrains and farm fields, big pickup trucks, and food and bottomless beers.
We love chili like the intensity of hot summertime weather. The scorching hot and humid weather of Texas does not stop its people to dig chili dishes. This has really something to do their amazing ability of taking in the heat while never losing their cool.
Texan lingo is unique. If you happen to be a new kid in the block, you would find yourself bangin’ your head by the winduh and fixin’ to leave with all the Texan accent. Y’all will not understand unless y’all stay longer. It takes time to get used to the way Texans say things, like how we refer to all sodas as coke. Y’all want coke? I’ll give you Dr. Pepper. You need to give it some time. It will grow on you.
To call Texans as avid baseball fans is an understatement. It is not unusual that Texans spend as much as twenty million bucks for a high school football game. Expect the stadium to be packed with a lot of Texan football fans.
Barbecue. Texans love barbecues very much, and every Texan region boasts its own barbecue style. Come down in East Texas and taste their beef cooked slowly over hickory and marinated in a sweet tomato-based sauce. Central Texans fancy their meat to be deliciously polished with spices and grilled in indirect heat from pecan or oak wood. Come up in West Texas and see to it that you cook your meat directly from mesquite wood. Last but certainly not the least, South Texas barbecue style includes thick molasses-like sauces that keep the meat very moist.
Rodeos. The people here are more than just farm guys and agriculturists. In this exciting event, men, with their bigger-in-life attitude, show off their bravery and arrogance in front of myriads of onlookers.
Don’t mess with Texas. A statewide advertising campaign was started in 1986 to discourage littering anywhere within the area of jurisdiction. That is, within the state of Texas. Since then, the law became the culture of every Texan.Do you agree with my list? What are the other quirks that you know about Texas? Share it with us!
