"The South"
Well, today I got into a huge argument with a person I will not mention. This all started when I said "I call Carl's Jrs Hardees." This one person asked why do I call it Hardees. I said "Because that's what it's called in the south." My friend replied "Texas?" and I said "No. South Carolina." Since my argumentative friend was involved in the conversation, he said that Texas was part of the south, but I meant "the south".

TEXAS is in the south..isn't it?
it's just that it's not the first state that would pop into peoples minds when the word "south" is mentioned. Most people would think of states somewhere in the southeastern region, not much in the southwestern side.

i hope you got what i meant?
As a born southerner, I must agree that Texas is most definitely not the South (that goes double for Florida). "The South" actually has little to do with geography- no one from San Diego would identify himself as a southerner, right?- and more to do with a unified culture, and the city of Oakland feels more "southern" to me than most parts of Texas. Texas is kind of its own culture...
