Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name

~*---------------------------------------------*~

Well my blog name is "The Un-Texan, Texan".

For the most part, I was having trouble thinking about what to title my blog. Everyone in the office had one, and I was told that I needed to blog too!

Everyone knows now, but I am from Ohio. Born and raised. And proud! Well... sorta proud. haha Ohio isn't the best state by any means.

But regardless, it is my home.

When I moved to Texas, I was half expecting everyone to have thick country accents. Maybe meet a few people who owned a ranch or farm.

Well, there were a few people who had accents, but for the most part, they sounded pretty normal.

Still haven't met anyone with a ranch. ;)

But there are things that Texans say which I wasn't used to saying.

• y'all
• all y'all (because apparently y'all isn't plural enough already)
• fixin'
• soda
• "coke"
• ma'am
• sir

Now, I try so very hard to not let these words become a part of my vocabulary (except ma'am and sir because those are polite words, and to be honest, I like it when handsome men call me ma'am. hahahaha ;) )

I guess because I use the following: you guys, pop, and don't have a word for fixin'; this made me the outsider.

So while what seemed like all of Texas was using these foreign words, I was not (and still try very hard not to).

Therefore, I am the Un-Texan, Texan.
