"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"

4. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.
5. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

12. You find 90 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm."
13. You know all four seasons: almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.
14. Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time known as "Goin' Wal-martin" or "Off to ' Wally World'."
15. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good Soup Bean weather.

18. You know what lard is.
19. You understand these and forward them to your friends from KY. (and those who just wish they were).
