S/O of 'makes my blood boil'

jCamsquared · April 2009

What do you consider the North and South? I only think of the North as being the Northeast, and the South as being the Southeast. Anything west of NY and east of CO is the 'midwest,' and further west than that is the west. All approximate of course.

Am I alone in this? I have a feeling how you look at this depends on where you are from?

I just typed out this whole long explanation of what I think, then I realized it was exactly the same as yours.

Anything south of Exit 100 on the NJ turnpike is south to me...

I think the same thing - South is Arkansas/Louisiana eastward. Texas is south, but different - It is in it's own class.

I consider anything North of Tennessee, 'up north'. I consider anything west of Texas 'out west', and all the stuff in the middle is 'mid west'. From Pennsylvania/New Jersey up into the little sticky up part is the North East in my book.

I say North is anything from Maine to PA, but only the half of PA EAST of Harrisburg.

Anything WEST of Harrisburg is midwest. Anything South of PA is South.

After living in Hometown, East Coast then College Town, Midwest and now Atlanta...I have seen a lot of distinct differences in anything from clothes to names to accents to concentrations of religions [ex. more Catholics on East Coast and more Baptists in the South].

Hahaha - probably because we're from the same area ;-)

A bunch of people in that post commented on Sarah Palin's kids' names, and said it was so far north - my reaction was, 'well that's not the north though!'

I don't discriminate. North is up and South is down. Period.

south is Mexico and north is Oregon.

Pretty much that.

Texas is not midwest or western or southern, and definitely not northern. It's a blend.

Sometimes i think of it your way (though i say "South" not "Southeast" and i do distinguish between northwest and southwest)

Same here - I don't say Northeast, I say the North. And I guess I do consider Washington and such to be the Northwest.

What confused me was when some people referred to Indiana or Illinois (I think?) as being the North.

One person from Indiana referred to themselves as a Yankee, which made me go 'ermm...' But for all I know she might originally be from the North! It just got me thinking :-)

South = South of Mason-Dixon line. North = North of Mason-Dixon line.

Anything West of the Mississippi is midwest. And Florida and Texas are kind of their own entities.?

akminime · April 2009

Alaska is definitely not THE north. I moved here from Athens, GA and I think the it is a HUGE mix of people from all over. The way that Sarah Palin is, I don't think of her as northern or southern, just weird and crooked.

Generally I agree, though further west I break up into the Pacific Northwest, West, and Southwest, with the SW being CO, NM, UT, TX, and AZ.

Central/South Florida? Right back in the northeast.

Hahaha so true!

South to me starts at LA (the state, not city) and goes east on the coast - skipping FL because that's its own damn classification in my opinion - up to NC. NC to MA is mid-Atlantic, and above MA is north. Any state not butting up on an ocean or Canada is the middle of the country IMO. I do not consider states like KY or TN to be "south" they are "Bible belt" which is not the same thing.

South- below mason-dixon line

North- above it
