It's a feature..

Kansas is a Southern State.

I had a perfect score but it doesn't mean that I speak that way!

Uh.............I don't think so..................maybe if you ignore the Civil War technicalities and happen to be living in North Dakota.

I got 100% and I'm from California.

I learned Ant, not Awnt from my parents, for example. My Mother was from Massachusetts (her mother was from Iowa) and my father was from Mill Valley, CA. His father was from New Jersey.

My Mother's Uncle lived in San Diego and had a very New England accent.

For: 4

I have a friend from Southern Illinois and he talks just like a Southern Good Old Boy.

I was born in Southern Canada; does that count?

A lot of those expressions are not exclusively Southern.

Here's a historical demarcation placard for the "thirty-six thirty line" of the Missouri Compromise (May 8, 1820) dividing states that allowed slavery and those that didn't. North of Enid, OK on US81 is the only marker I know of. And Kansas is about 34.5 miles (30 arc minutes of latitude) further north. And although some still disagree about whether the "alternative fact" of slavery was the main cause of the War of Northern Aggression, this line was created by Congress to simplify those that were fer the North and those that were agin' it.

Another tell-tale indication that Kansas is definitely a Northern State is how their BBQ is served. No Southern man, woman or chile would ever cook or serve "Q" with all that sauce on it. "Q" is properly rubbed, smoked and allowed to rest before serving. Sauce is a condiment. Northern carpetbaggers started the habit of slathering smoked meat with sauce to profit from the additional weight as sold by the pound. 😉

I don't like BBQ sauce anymore, way too sweet.

Seriously there are folks east of here that swear by their "white" bbq sauce. It's kind of a vinegar base and definitely not too sweet. I've only had it on chicken, but it is really worth trying.

Oh I'm sure the homemade stuff is way better than the bottled grocery store junk that is mainly flavored sugar sauce.

My wife is a talented meat preparer, I'm just the doofus who grills it.

I'm of the opinion that folks add sugar to their sauce to get a quick carmelization on the meat. While probably trendy it does make the dish way too sweet for my A1C.

I was THINKING of replying to HC's mild insult, toward southerners.... But, then I thought, "Maybe he wouldn't understand"... Just sayin!
