Kentuckians have a pride for their state like no other. Here are some things we hear from out-of-towners that seem to get old very fast.
1. Assume we all have country accents.
And if you voice your assumption, expect this reaction.
Recommended for you
2. Say negative things about Ale 8.
Because we sit there in disbelief about your uncommon opinion about Kentucky's most prized soft drink.
3. Call us all hicks.
Just no.
4. Assume we all love country music.
You may never recover if you ask a Kentuckian why they aren't listening to country.5. Insult our favorite college basketball team.
The only thing UK and UofL fans have in common -- they don't take insults from anyone.
6. Ask if we are going to marry our cousin.
Funny you may ask. Too bad it will never happen.
7. Assume that KFC is our favorite restaurant.
Anyone from Kentucky will vouch that KFC is probably close to the bottom of the list of our go-to restaurants.
8. Pronounce "Louisville" wrong.
Good try, but no.
9. Tell us that we don't wear shoes.
It might be hard to believe, but we are actually just like you and wear shoes on our feet!
10. Ask us why our grass isn't actually blue.
Yeah, no one knows.
11. Try and convince us that bourbon is better in your state.
You will undoubtedly lose that argument.
12. Assume that where you live is superior to our Old Kentucky Home.
Never.
