1. \u201cDawg\u201d Is Usually Just A Misspelling<\/h2>\n

In Georgia, it\u2019s no secret who the \u201cDawgs\u201d are. Loved throughout the entire state for their work on the gridiron, this college football team is the best in the land. Don\u2019t expect to find too many people out-of-state who share the same \u201cDawg pride\u201d with you.<\/p>\n

2. Football Season Might Be A Letdown<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Much to a Georgian\u2019s dismay, you shouldn\u2019t expect people to care about college football that much if you\u2019re leaving the Peach State. You\u2019ll never find anywhere quite as college football crazed as the South.<\/p>\n

3. Nowhere Else Will Feel Quite As Humid<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve survived the Georgia humidity for several seasons, everywhere else you go will be a walk in the park. If you\u2019re leaving Georgia for anywhere that\u2019s a bit cooler, long gone are the days of pit stains and quick trips outside that leave you drenched.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cCoke\u201d Typically Means Just Coca-Cola<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

While the term \u201ccoke\u201d might be used to refer to any carbonated sugary drink in these parts, other places around the country tend to use either \u201cpop\u201d or \u201csoda\u201d as their term of choice for this refreshment. If you order a \u201ccoke\u201d out at a restaurant when you\u2019re away from home, expect to get exactly that.<\/p>\n

5. Tea Doesn\u2019t Start Out Sweet<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

A favorite in the Peach State, nothing helps beat the heat like a cold glass of sweet tea. Unfortunately, everyone in the country isn\u2019t quite so crazy about this concoction. In most places, tea is served hot in smaller portions without sugar and often lacking a slice of lemon.<\/p>\n

6. There Are Plenty Of Georgia Stereotypes Out There<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t take a genius to realize that stereotypes aren\u2019t always accurate, especially when you\u2019re talking about Georgia.
\nWhile this state has its fair share of small towns and rural areas, it\u2019s also home to some huge cities and a very diverse population. Expect to catch new people off guard when you don\u2019t meet their expectations for what someone from Georgia is like.<\/p>\n

7. Don\u2019t Take Your Pro Sports For Granted<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s been awhile since one of the local professional teams has taken the trophy at the big dance, be thankful that you actually have professional sports in Georgia.
\nWith the Falcons, Braves, Hawks, and the Thrashers all headquartered in the Peach State, Georgia has its fair share of awesome sporting events to attend. If you\u2019re leaving this state, just hope that you don\u2019t move to one of the 20+ states in America without a home pro team to cheer for.<\/p>\n

8. No One Else Loves Ranch As Much As You<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User jeffreyw<\/div>\n

A favorite amongst condiments in Georgia, ranch dressing has been proven to instantly enhance the flavor of 99.9% of all foods we eat. Unfortunately, the rest of the country hasn\u2019t caught on quite yet.
\nWhile ranch is still served with things like Buffalo wings around the country, you\u2019ll have to ask for it with most dishes and you\u2019ll probably be charged extra.<\/p>\n

9. Everyone Will Want To Talk About Peaches<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Bruce Tuten<\/div>\n

\u201cAre they really that good?\u201d \u201cDo you eat them all the time?\u201d \u201cDo you miss them?\u201d\u2026 \u201cYes, Yes, and again, Yes.\u201d Get used to being asked the same questions about peaches over and over again if you leave Georgia.
\nPeople tend to be fascinated with the fruit that makes this state tick, despite being able to find it at nearly every grocery store around America. Within a couple days of being gone, you\u2019ll have all your answers ready for the people asking about this delicious fruit.<\/p>\n

10. Most Places Don\u2019t Have Pollen Season<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User brookenovak<\/div>\n

You know that one time of the year in Georgia in which everything gets coated in a thin layer of yellow? That\u2019s not normal. Almost anywhere else you\u2019re headed in the country seems to skip this season. It\u2019s probably for the best.<\/p>\n

11. Snow Isn\u2019t Really That Big Of A Deal<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User William Brawley (cropped)<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re leaving Georgia, your days of freaking out in a few flurries are over. Most places around the country know how to handle their snow quite well, meaning there will probably be little tolerance for people that are slowly creeping down the roadways.<\/p>\n

12. You\u2019ll Miss All The Fried Foods<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User shawnzrossi<\/div>\n

Sure, there are deep-fried foods everywhere, but not everywhere takes their deep-frying quite so seriously. Southern staples like fried tomatoes and fried green beans can be difficult to find upon bidding the Peach State farewell.<\/p>\n

13. Leave The Buggies And Sacks At Home<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User fekaylius<\/div>\n

A trip to the store for you might mean loading up the buggy with sacks of groceries, however most Americans are loading up their carts with bags full of items.
\nIf you\u2019re in an out-of-state store and ask where the buggies are at, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll get a pretty confused look in return. You\u2019ll have to call them carts when your outside of Georgia.<\/p>\n

14. You\u2019ll Discover You Have An Accent<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User bark<\/div>\n

As smooth and sweet as the local tea, your Georgian accent is something to be proud of. Of course, you\u2019ll never notice it more than when you\u2019re talking with someone that\u2019s not from the South. Expect this to be something most people point out right away.<\/p>\n

15. \u201cSir\u201d And \u201cMa\u2019am\u201d Might Get You Some Strange Looks<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User CGP Grey<\/div>\n

Georgians take politeness to a whole new level, always using the proper terms to address everyone and never forgetting to open the door for a Southern Belle. However, in many places around the country, terms like \u201cSir\u201d and \u201cMa\u2019am\u201d are considered to be overly formal.
\nUse them when it\u2019s necessary, but don\u2019t weird out new friends by continuing to call them by one of these after several months of hanging out.<\/p>\n

16. Dinner Gets Served At Dinnertime<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User juliejordanscott (cropped)<\/div>\n

The term \u201csupper\u201d doesn\u2019t really travel. Around most of the country, there\u2019s breakfast in the morning, lunch served midday, and dinner at night. If you say \u201csupper,\u201d expect a chuckle or two.<\/p>\n

17. It Might Be A Long Drive To Waffle House<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User marianna muegenburg cothern<\/div>\n

Though at times it can seem that every single Georgian street corner is home to a Waffle House, this local favorite is really a Southern thing.
\nWhile you might encounter one of these on a road trip or luck out with one at the far end of your new town, there\u2019s a good chance it will be a bit of a hike if you\u2019re crazy a huge platter of their loaded hash browns.<\/p>\n

18. People Will Be Weary Of Your Grits<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User neil Conway<\/div>\n

One dish that the South is famous for, every Georgian knows that there\u2019s no better way to start your day than with a heaping mound of grits. However, while you\u2019re eating grits, most people around America are eating oatmeal.
\nYou might have a little trouble getting them to make the switch, as outsiders are likely to find the name of this dish a bit off-putting.<\/p>\n

19. Everyone Will Want Your Recipes<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User tvnewsbadge<\/div>\n

While it might take someone a hot second to love your grits, they won\u2019t be able to pass up on the rest of your Southern cooking.
\nA style of cuisine famous for warming up even the coldest of days, homemade Southern soul food can\u2019t be beat. And everyone knows this, whether or not they\u2019re from the Peach State.<\/p>\n

20. It Might Be Awhile Until You Hear A Storm Warning Again<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User minds-eye<\/div>\n

Growing up in Georgia, the real threat of powerful storms like tornados is very apparent. Fortunately, most Americans don\u2019t have to worry quite so much.
\nWhile the wail of the storm sirens might be a relatively regular occurrence here in Georgia, you\u2019ll rarely hear them in most major U.S. cities.<\/p>\n

21. Good Boiled Peanuts Are Harder To Come By<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User schatz<\/div>\n

If you love buying roadside peanuts, this might be one of the things you\u2019ll miss the most when you leave Georgia. Not only are boiled peanuts significantly less popular elsewhere in the country, getting them is never as convenient as drive-thru service.<\/p>\n

22. You Won\u2019t See Much Red Dirt<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User johntrainor<\/div>\n

Dirt most places is usually just the typical boring brown. At least you\u2019ll always know you\u2019re home when you see that famous red soil again.<\/p>\n

23. Fried Chicken Isn\u2019t Usually On Every Menu<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User The Sporkful<\/div>\n

Kentucky chicken has nothing on Georgia\u2019s variety of this classic dish. Often a bit spicy and always succulent, there\u2019s no better place in the country to find a 3-piece meal.
\nIf this is your go-to order at most restaurants, you might have to change things up when you leave the Peach State.<\/p>\n

24. Take Advantage Of The Beach Before You Say Goodbye<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Damian Gadal<\/div>\n

Though to outsiders Georgia isn\u2019t typically thought of as a beach state, the coastline here is just as beautiful as it is anywhere else in the Gulf. This makes it pretty hard to leave when you\u2019re used to a short weekend trip getting a little sand between your toes.<\/p>\n

25. Bug Bites Aren\u2019t So Problematic Elsewhere<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User 416style<\/div>\n

One of the few perks of leaving the Peach State is the lack of bugs you\u2019ll encounter in the rest of the country. If you grew up in Georgia, you\u2019ve been training against bug bites in the hardest region possible, making these annoying creatures much less daunting when you travel.<\/p>\n

26. County Pride Isn\u2019t Usually A Thing<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User woody1778a<\/div>\n

Displayed proudly on every Georgian license plate, the county someone hails from in this state can be a big deal. With so many tiny rural areas that are so spread out, it\u2019s often easier to tell someone what general region you\u2019re from than by giving them the name of a tiny town they\u2019ve probably never heard of.
\nIf you\u2019re leaving Georgia, you\u2019ll probably have to start referring to your home as a specific city.<\/p>\n

27. Big City Traffic Isn\u2019t Always Horrible<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Nrbelex<\/div>\n

With Atlanta being home to some of the worst traffic in the country, getting gridlocked in this city can completely change your mind on huge metropolitan areas for the worse.
\nFortunately, many larger cities around America have traffic flow figured out. Make sure you don\u2019t let that one bad experience drive you away from downtown life.<\/p>\n

28. People Will Take \u201cBless Your Heart\u201d As A Compliment<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User acidpix<\/div>\n

Georgians have a unique way of dishing out insults in that they\u2019re usually very subtle. No one you meet outside of the South is likely to realize that the popular saying \u201cbless your heart\u201d is actually just a more polite way of showing pity.<\/p>\n

29. It\u2019s Called \u201cSouthern\u201d Hospitality For A Reason<\/h2>\n

\"29<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User xxv<\/div>\n

If there\u2019s one thing you\u2019re sure to miss more than anything when leaving Georgia, it\u2019s the general level of kindness that people in this state show each other.
\nHome to some of the friendliest, most down-to-Earth people around, nothing tops the authentic Southern hospitality you\u2019ll find in this state.
