We have a lot of folks coming to visit our sweet southern state of Tennessee, so it causes a bit of confusion – who are the REAL Tennesseans? We asked around to pick up some solid questions that only a true Tennessee native would be able to answer, and we have a feeling they’re going to blow you away. Curious? We have ELEVEN of them for you!
- Can you drive in the snow?
Meghan Kraft / Instagram No.
- Can you sing all the words to “Ol’ Rocky Top?”
Larry Darling / Flickr Loud and proud, since we could talk.
- What accent…?
Jordan Sangerman / Flickr We all talk the same…? Every generation. You’ve obviously got hearing problems - we talk JUST fine.
- What’s the Bell Witch?
Brent Moore / Flickr Only the most terrifying true ghost story in the entire US. Read up on your history, man.
- What’s the weather going to be like tomorrow?
Meghan Kraft / Instagram Well, my friend, it’s Tennessee. So no one ever knows. Ever.
- When is tax free weekend…?
Brent Moore / Flickr It is in August - we have a countdown on the calendar. Is it TAX FREE WEEKEND YET?!
- Where are you on Sunday mornings?
Brent Moore / Flickr Um, CHURCH. Unless we’re looking to get a whoopin’ later!
- Who’s playing on Sunday…?
Meghan Kraft / Instagram We will know. Every. Single. Time.
- Yes, yes - y’all is a word.
Robert Hruzek / Flickr And we don’t even care if you spell it wrong. Tennesseans know it’s a feeling, a way of talkin’, not just a simple word.
- Who’s that singing on the radio?
Meghan Kraft / Instagram Johnny, June, Patsy or George - Tennesseans know them all.
- Where’s the best fried chicken?
Niall Kennedy / Flickr Obviously at Mama’s.
Could you answer all of them?
Meghan Kraft / Instagram
