You Know You're From South Carolina When...
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 everything about you."
There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 of more, except for Orangeburg which has Dairy-O.
You know that going "barefootin" is one of the great joys of life
You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
"Vacation" means going to Myrtle Beach.
Out of state friends beg you to send them fireworks
You know at least three places to get great fried chicken
You've taken a road trip to South of the Border - and it wasn't Mexico
You buy your groceries at Winn-Dixie
You know someone who works at Hooters
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from South Carolina.

Yep. Winn-Dixie. They're having troubles now though and the one in our town closed up a year or so ago, lol.
I've never heard of a couch bein' called a davenport. Dunno about that one, lol.
Sweet tea is basically just ice tea. You brew the tea (about four bags) and pour it in a pitcher then you fill the pot with the tea bags in it up with water and pour it in, too, until it's full (I think that's lazy and wasteful. I brew pot after pot until it fills the pitcher).
Then you put an ass load of sugar in (a couple of cups for a gallon, but it really depends on personal taste) then you put ice in a cup (a red Dixie Cup if you want it to be nice and Southern) and fill it up with the tea...
Not too amazing, I know. lol. It's good, though. I'm not fuckin' nuts over it like so many people down here are but I guess it does help cool you off when it's around 100 degrees or more with 99% humidity all the damn time in the summer, lol.
I prefer brewing green tea in a similar manner but without the sugar. And you can't brew green tea with boiling water or it tastes 'gassy'. But chilled grean tea is the shit. Just not Lipton's. lol.
