So here's the deal: I live in New Mexico, and on numerous occasions people (in other states) have approached me and compemented me on my english speaking abilities or asked me what it's like living in a foreign country.
So i was wondering if there were any misconceptions about your state/country.

I'll start:

New Mexico is a state (in between texas and arizona)
Everybody speaks English.
We do not live with Indians.
We have running water, electricity, etc.
It is not hot all the time (there is a foot of snow on the ground right now).
"Albuquerque": this is the correct spelling
green chile is not a jalapeno or green bell peppers.

I think that's all of mine! Let's hear yours!

well when i tell people i'm going to New York, they automatically assume big city NY. which gets annoying. there's the semi-countryside to it, too.

Hey, I'm in NC, too. Asheville. Typical southern stereotypes here, but not as bad as where I was before.... Alabama.



I never married my cousin, used an outhouse, watched Nascar, stole a Bud Light neon sign or had 12 kids all named Cleetus.

I'll just do New Orleans b/c Louisiana has so many:



1. We are not STILL under water. (although everything is still f'd beyond recognition in some areas)

2. I DO NOT have a southern twang, New Orleanians sound more like New Yorkers

3. I do not like swamps or alligators. They scare me.

4. I'm not Cajun

5. Mardi Gras is only ONE WEEK out of the year right before lent. You only get two days off of work and we don't get Columbus or Presidents Day to make up for it.

6. Locals don't flash. Ever.

7. You will not get shot unless you are a rival gang member or selling drugs. Usually.

8. Bourbon Street if for special occasions, not nightly visits.

9. Our food is better than yours. Hands down, no exceptions.

10. I have never once worn overalls or said the words "Yiaahee"

my toes are a delicacy that can only be enjoyed at the most upstanding of gourmet restaurants

Amen. The one thing I miss about being in Alabama was being close to New Orleans food.
