Being from Texas automatically means you know certain things that people from other states just don’t. It means some things you consider obvious are truly baffling to people from out-of-state. Here are 16 questions you can only answer if you’re a Texan (even if you may get annoyed or tired of doing so.)

  1. Is everything really bigger in Texas?

Flickr/stevenm I don’t know, why don’t you ask Big Tex? Does your state have a giant mascot at the fair?

I think this 3 pound cinnamon roll answers that question pretty well, too.

  1. Is country music all you listen to?

Flickr/felipeneves I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over ZZ Top’s guitar.

  1. Do you ride your horse to work?

Flickr/justinmosebach No, but they are our preferred method of transportation to the drive-thru and ATM.

  1. Is the BBQ really that good?

Flickr/wallyg …I think this speaks for itself.

  1. Is high school football big there?

Flickr/davidclow It’s only our religion.

  1. Does everyone own a gun?

  1. How do you survive the heat?

  1. What is Tex-Mex?

Flickr/magtravels I’m sincerely sorry if you haven’t experienced every kind of Mexican food piled on a plate and smothered in queso.

  1. Do you talk slow because of your accent, or are you just stupid?

  1. How hot can winter possibly get?

  1. How many pairs of cowboy boots can one person own?

  1. Just how high can you jack up a truck?
