Define Texas Meaning

Okay.
I was born and raised in Houston.
So lets tell the truth.
-The weather in Texas changes very rapidly, and we get a bit of everything, except snow. That doesn't come around very often.
-We don't get married to our sisters or even distant cousins. A shock. I know. If you want to see some of that go to Oklahoma.
-Not everyone here talks with a distinct country accent.
You have to go to the smaller towns for that. Lufkin, Etoile, Waco, etc. It all depends on what area of Texas you were born in. People move here from New York and California all the time, and we don't sound any diffrent.
Our slang is the only true thing that seperates us.
-Yes, we have racism here. Just like any other state, but it's not as bad as people make it sound. The Africans, Mexicans, and Orientals, etc. out number us by more the 50%.
-Taking hits to our pride by informing us we cuss to much (yes, 'cuss') is low. We cuss just as much as anyone in California, or Florida would.
-No one walks around here in in full cowboy uniform. So if you think we do, maybe you should visit before opening your mouth.

A state in the southern USA. Its in the south. There are billboards about Jesus. One can buy waffles there.

Home to Dr. Pepper, several modern and well respected singers, activists, and the like, Sam Houston, and other great men and women before him, numerous plantlife and animals, and a few horrid idiots who give the rest of us a bad name-ie: George Bush.

The biggest and baddest state of them all(15 states can be put into Texas and we'd still have 1000 miles left) where everything is bigger and much better than places such as California. Home of a Ranch bigger than Rhode Island,the home of trunk poppin, Dr.Pepper,home of the first word spoken from the moon which was Houston,home of swangin on 84's and vogues, chopped and screwed music, SA Town, D Town, and H Town which are all 3 in the top 10 most populated cities in the U.S.
The Lone Star State was the only state that was its own country, and the only state worthy of even making a definition of.


If you aint a Texan, you wish you were.

To quote the ignorant: "Land of hicks, where interfamily marriage is encouraged."
Please, I live in Texas and it has never been encouraged. That is something freaky people who can't get anyone do.

A state that some claim that people sleep with thier sisters, when in actuality it is one of the most populist states and is far more modern than most other states.Home to the big D, H town, and the alamo,

the only state people are damn proud to be from

contrary to popular belief, texas is probably the least racist of states and contains a huge diversity of mexicans,whites and blacks. Our moral qualities are also in fact sterling and to be aspired to, for we rarely condone stupid behaviour like cousins having sex or something of that nature. All i can say for those who don't deserve to reserve an opinion about texas because they haven't been there is that they should come down and experience the serenity that defines texas. I'd also like to comment that george bush is not actually from texas.

Texas can be divided into two sections, the cities and the rural areas.

THE CITIES:
In cities like Dallas and Houston, minorities far outnumber white people. The only people wearing cowboy hats are people from other states, and they generally don't go to the cities (for good reason). There is a Starbucks on every block, and during lunch hour, the line will extend out the door. Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio can be very ghetto, in fact. Dallas has the highest murder rate of any city over 1,000,000, and Houston isn't far behind. When on the subway in Dallas, confused tourists will be asking you for directions, while behind you a homeless man will be urinating on the platform, and the people next to you will be speaking spanish. It is indeed a very urban experience (as is everything in Dallas and Houston). People are NOT friendly in the city of Dallas, however, in Houston, people are much more hospitable. Dallasites tend to be very arrogant. 95% of the people in the cities do not have any detectable southern accent, and look down on the people who do.

RURAL AREAS:
Beyond the cities and their suburbs, however, lies a completely different Texas. "The Country" is where people in the cities go for recreation (such as camping or boating) and thats about it. People are far less educated than they are in the cities, and have heavy southern accents. Fireworks stands will be on every street, instead of Starbucks, and most people will have a gun. The people here are for the most part seeking a humble existance, and are very kind and hospitable people. People in the cities tend to view these people as uneducated hicks, rightly or wrongly.

That pretty much sums up Texas.

Oh Yeah, Austin is really Berkeley, California reincarnated in Texas.

a state in the southern United States where minorities such as Hispanics and African-Americans highly outnumber white people; a small percent of the white people are ignorant racist rednecks, that make the rest of them look like idiots
