Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.
There are 5,000 types of snakes, and 4,998 live in Kentucky.
There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Kentucky, plus a couple that nobody has seen before.
Squirrels will eat anything.
Unknown critters love to dig holes under tomato plants.
Raccoons will test your crop of melons and let you know when they are ripe.
If it grows, it sticks; if it crawls, it bites.
A tractor is NOT an all-terrain vehicle. They do get stuck.
Onced and Twiced are words.
It is not a shopping cart, its a buggy.
People actually grow and eat okra.
"fixinto" is one word.
There ain't no such thing as "lunch." There's "dinner" and then there's "supper."
Sweet tea is appropriate for all meals, and you start drinking it when you're two.
"Backards and forwards" means, " I know everyhting about you."
"Jeetchet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat yet?"
You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is. You work till you're done or till it's too dark to see.
And if you are wondering.. YES I am from Kentucky!

yeah the Lunch = Dinner and Dinner = Supper is also common in parts of NE also..
that always messed me up as a kid. Being a city kid, then going to the country on the weekends to visit my Grandparrents.

This goes for all states and cities, although cities have literally redifined speach in america.
Breakfast meant "break fast". It's original meaning is I guess open to debate.
There wasn't "lunch", it was dinner(lunch) and supper.
On a side note, Mississippians eat okra too. Sweet tea(or sweat tea for Shig) has and always will be better for you than any soft drink(or coke being the generic term in the south, that's "pop" for all you yanks  ).
And working the "country folks" that most people refer to as being "southern" are actually found all over the US. And if we didn't work till dark or untill it got done, the cities and all their instant gratification would come to a grinding and immediate halt. Well, for the most part anyway, they'd just starve. 
Nice compilation though

If you're from Mississippi....
You've been to or know about the towns of: Hot Coffee, Whynot, Soso, Shuqualak, Okalona, and Noxapater.
When someone talks about The Flag, you know exactly what flag they're refering to.
In any given parking lot, every third car has a Flag bumpersticker.
Your neighbor (or yourself) has the Confederate battle flag in his yard and nothing else.
You eat coon hash.
You know where chittlins come from.
You know it's coke, not "pop", or "soda."
You know pop is a noise or an action (ie the coon popped out of his hole), not a soft drink.
You can tell, purely by accent, whether a person is from the Black Belt, the Red Clay Hills, the Piney Woods, or the Delta.
You know that the Delta is not the one below New Orleans.
Your church's attendance is reduced by half on opening day of bow season.
The preacher is not there on opening day of gun season.
The last time it snowed, you took fifteen photos and put some in your freezer for old time's sake.
A seven course meal is a bucket of KFC and a six-pack.
There is a trampoline in your neighbor's back yard.
Teenagers refer to the bus as the "cheese wagon," and refuse to ride it.
You only know five spices--salt, pepper, Ranch dressing, BBQ Sauce and hot sauce.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Mississippi.
