There are some Arkansas habits you just can’t deny. Don’t fret though, the rest of us are just as guilty at these hard to break habits. Let’s laugh together as we uncover the Arkansas-isms that can’t be unlearned.
- Complaining about how much you hate Walmart…
Flickr/Mike Mozart …then going again next week.
- Doing the “hand nod” while driving.
Flickr/dornorozeto 2 fingers: acknowledgement of the passing stranger. 4 fingers: “hey Carl, how’s it goin’”? Whole hand: “Hey Carl, how’s the wife”? Waving your whole hand: “Hey Carl! How’s the wife? Is your mom recovering from her knee surgery alright”?
- Assuming all tea is sweet…
www.memesbot.com …and being completely taken aback when asked if you need sweeteners.
- Never saying “no” to an animal in need.
Flickr/Hunter Desportes You took in the dog that was dumped down the road so now that makes 5 dogs, 2 cats, the pig, 3 horses, a raccoon foster, and the box turtle with a limp your kid found in the backyard.
- Planning all your vacations around Arkansas.
Flickr/Buffalo Outdoor Center I’ll take a float trip down the Buffalo River over the hassle of flying out of state any day.
- Baking a casserole for anyone’s big life event.
Flickr/Meaghan O’Malley Nothing is more comforting than food to an Arkansan. Graduation? Casserole. Funeral? Casserole. Nephew’s Bar Mitzvah? Kosher casserole.
- Using “y’all” in nearly every sentence.
Flickr/Piedmont Council for the Arts I don’t know why y’all keep telling me to say “you all,” y’all is just more efficient.
- Planning for any weather change.
Flickr/SeeBee2189 Alright, so the summer family barbecue is this Saturday. Be sure to pack your jacket in case the winds start, we’re okay if it rains since there’s a gazebo and we went ahead and brought toboggans in case it snows.
- Home sweet home being the one habit you can never break.
Flickr/latteda Sure you thought you’d always move away but you grew to realize Arkansas is actually a pretty awesome place.
