4. You know Luke Bryan would be the perfect formal date.
5. You can spot a Yankee a mile away (and yes, you still use the term Yankee).
6. Miranda Lambert is your spirit animal.
7. There’s an entire section in your closet devoted to oversized tees that aren’t shack shirts, comfort colors, and PFGs. Large is the new small.
8. You never leave home without full makeup, which makes shacking a difficult endeavor.
9. Anytime Wagon Wheel comes on, you can be found on the dance floor, forcing everyone in a 5-mile vicinity to sing along.

11. Your anthem is “Southern Girl,” “You and Tequila,” or “Gunpowder & Lead.”
12. SEC > everything. Tailgating, boys in bowties, and any excuse to day drink is perfection.
13. You’ve been to Mardi Gras at least once, even if you don’t remember it. It’s the beads that count.

21. You were shocked when you realized there are people in the world who have never experienced the magic of grits.
22. You feel at home in a piano bar, especially when “Friends In Low Places” plays. Or “Callin’ Baton Rouge.” Or “Wrecking Ball.” Okay, any song sounds perfect in a piano bar.
23. You’ve said, “Bless your heart” and meant it.

25. Cowboy boots are appropriate for every occasion, from tailgates to weddings.
26. Half your house has a double name.

37. Your life can be summed up by this quote: “This is the South and we’re proud of our crazy people. We don’t hide them up in the attic, we bring them right down to the living room to show them off.”
