The 14 Things You’ll Never Hear a Real Texan Say, EVER
TEXAS. The Lone Star State. We're number two when it comes to state size by square miles (stupid Alaska), but we're number one in our own hearts. We are TEXANS.
Here in Texas, you'll find more than 30 million people, living, working, and playing on 268,581 of the most perfect square miles you'll find anywhere on God's green Earth.
From kolaches to small-town Dairy Queens to the people who call it home we all understand what makes Texas a state great.
Did you know in Norway the word "Texas" is slang for crazy? Look it up. It's true and by god, we take pride in that too. You can make fun of the way we speak, the way we walk, or how courteous we are, but you just can't stop talking about us, can you?
