I am going to be honest and admit I found this on Facebook. It’s cute and sometimes you need a laugh.

‘You might be a Louisianan if…’

1. You can properly pronounce Lafayette, Bossier, Natchitoches, Opelousas, Shongaloo, Pontchartrain, Ouachita, and you know that New Orleans doesn’t have a long “e” sound anywhere in it.

2. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are pansies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

5. Stores don’t have bags, they have sacks.

6. You’ve seen people wear bib overalls at funerals.

7. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

8. You measure distance in minutes.

9. Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

10. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

11. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

12. You know cow patties are not made of beef.

13. Someone you know has used a LSU football schedule to plan their wedding date.

14. You have known someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

15. You aren’t surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.

16. A Mercedes Benz isn’t a status symbol. A Ford F-250 Extended Bed Crew Cab Powerstroke is a status symbol.

17. You know everything goes better with ‘Tony’s’.

18. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

19. You actually get these jokes and are “fixin” to send them to your friends.

20. You’re not offended by the term “coonass.” If anything, it’s a compliment.

Finally, you are 100% Louisianian if you have ever had this conversation:
“You wanna coke?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind?”
“Dr Pepper.”
