1. \u201cDo You Know [insert random South Carolinian\u2019s name here]?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

For some reason, outsiders tend to assume that North Carolina and South Carolina are the same thing. In reality, they couldn\u2019t be more different.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cWhat\u2019s A Bojangles?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, it\u2019s a well-known fact that Bojangles\u2019 has the tastiest fast food fried chicken around. You\u2019ll be addicted after one bite.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cIs There Alcohol In This?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Mark Doliner<\/div>\n

While the name might be confusing, Cheerwine isn\u2019t an alcoholic beverage. It\u2019s just a cherry-flavored soda coming out of the Salisbury area that\u2019s popular around these parts.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cIs Your Tea Always This Sweet?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User MZScarlett \/ A.K.A. Michelle<\/div>\n

When it comes to tea, North Carolinians won\u2019t settle for anything that\u2019s not ice cold and full of sugar. If an out-of-towner is ordering this out, make sure they know what to expect.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cWhy Is Everyone Wearing Blue?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Roshan Yadama<\/div>\n

With both the Tar Heels and Duke headquartered in North Carolina, an overwhelming amount of people are wearing some shade of blue come game day. Really, the only people that break this norm in force are the NC State fans.<\/p>\n

6. \u201cIs That Moonshine Safe To Drink?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

A popular pastime in the North Carolina region, making homemade liquor is a hobby for many. If some shows up at a party, I\u2019d let the other guests try it first.<\/p>\n

7. \u201cIs That Slaw On My Hot Dog?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

Topped with chili, slaw, and onions, once you\u2019ve had your fair share of Carolina dogs, all other hot dogs just seem plain and boring.<\/p>\n

8. \u201cWhat Is A Tar Heel?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

In short, it\u2019s someone from North Carolina or a fan of UNC.
\nHowever, what\u2019s generally accepted as the longer story is that British troops of the Revolutionary War stepped in tar while passing through the state thanks to North Carolina\u2019s many abundant pine trees, getting tar on their heels and slowing them down.<\/p>\n

9. \u201cDoesn\u2019t Livermush Gross You Out?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Wikimedia Commons<\/div>\n

One food that you\u2019ll really only find in the South, livermush is composed of pig liver, parts of the animal\u2019s head, and cornmeal before being seasoned and spiced. You might have a hard time getting your visiting friends to try this one.<\/p>\n

10. \u201cIs The Head Still On That Thing!?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr Useryummyporky<\/div>\n

When it comes to hog roasts, North Carolinians love to go all the way. The people here just toss the entire pig on the fire and let it slowly cook before feasting.<\/p>\n

11. \u201cDoes Everyone Here Love NASCAR?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User beach bum bob<\/div>\n

Yes, yes they do\u2026and the closer you get to Charlotte Motor Speedway, the more fans you\u2019ll find.<\/p>\n

12. \u201cAre Grits Like Oatmeal?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

While these two dishes often share a similar bland color and strange texture, the similarities stop there. Grits are made from corn while oatmeal consists of oats. They\u2019re two completely different foods and you can taste it.
\nIf you know someone who hasn\u2019t tried grits firsthand, change that immediately.<\/p>\n

13. \u201cDo People Always Act Like This When It Snows?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

In North Carolina, even the report of a few flurries is reason enough to panic. Expect huge traffic delays and plenty of emptied grocery store shelves come any accumulation.<\/p>\n

14. \u201cIsn\u2019t Michael Jordan From There?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Jason H. Smith<\/div>\n

Technically, MJ was born in Brooklyn, but he did go to high school and college in North Carolina. He\u2019s probably one of the biggest fans of the Tar Heel State you\u2019ll ever meet.<\/p>\n

15. \u201cIs Everyone Here Obsessed With Sun Drop?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

Another soda favorite in the NC region, this citrusy drink is often compared to Mountain Dew thanks to its color and very high level of caffeine.<\/p>\n

16. \u201cWait\u2026A Toboggan Is A Hat?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Mini D<\/div>\n

While most of the country considers a \u201ctoboggan\u201d to be a type of downhill sled, in North Carolina it\u2019s a hat. Confusing the two can make for some awkward situations.<\/p>\n

17. \u201cWhat\u2019s A Buggy?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

Another term that is relatively exclusive to the South, a \u201cbuggy\u201d is a shopping cart in North Carolina. Just one more little thing that tends to catch out-of-towners off guard.<\/p>\n

18. \u201cWhy Are Your Devils Blue?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Roshan Yadama<\/div>\n

While their name might seem to reference an evil entity from the Bible, the meaning behind Duke\u2019s nickname isn\u2019t quite so religiously based. They\u2019re named after a group of French infantry troops that fought in World War 1. They went by \u201cles Diables Bleus,\u201d meaning the Blue Devils.<\/p>\n

19. \u201cWhat\u2019s OBX Stand For?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Counselman Collection<\/div>\n

A popular tourist destination among North Carolinians and tourists alike, the Outer Banks (also known as OBX) consists of a long string of barrier islands in the Atlantic off the coast of NC.
\nThey\u2019re known for being particularly awesome thanks to their warm climate and tons of beachfront area.<\/p>\n

20. \u201cShould I Watch Out For Wolves?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

On the contrary, tons of people are cheering for the wolves in this state. With a name originating from a quote many years ago claiming that NC State athletes were as \u201cunruly as a pack of wolves,\u201d the nickname \u201cWolfpack\u201d stuck.
\nThe only other wolf you\u2019ll find here are smaller red wolves, often mistaken for coyotes. They\u2019re relatively harmless when it comes to humans.<\/p>\n

21. \u201cWhat Makes Your Barbecue So Special?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

\u2026 Are you kidding me?!
\nOften made using only the most succulent pork around, North Carolina is famous for their vinegar based sauces. Of course, you can still get other varieties, but the local preference is usually best.<\/p>\n

22. \u201cIsn\u2019t A Chowchow A Type Of Dog?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

Technically, yes. But around here if someone is talking about eating some chow-chow, they\u2019re probably referring to a special type of local relish made with green tomatoes, cabbage, and a long list of other veggies.<\/p>\n

23. \u201cHow Do You Pronounce Appalachian, Again?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

One topic that\u2019s constantly up for debate, some people say \u201ca-puh-Lay-chuhn\u201d while others prefer \u201ca-puh-LATCH-uhn.\u201d People in North Carolina tend to side with the latter, but you\u2019ll still occasionally hear arguments as there really isn\u2019t a definitive answer.<\/p>\n

24. \u201cWhy Does Everyone Keep Blessing My Heart?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

North Carolina has a very unique, home-grown sense of sarcasm in which \u201cbless your heart\u201d is actually a slam. If someone says this, they\u2019re probably showing pity for you\u2026in the most polite way possible, of course.<\/p>\n

25. \u201cDo People Actually Go To The Beach Here?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

North Carolina might not be a Florida or California, but of course people go to the beach here. It\u2019s just as beautiful and not nearly as crowded.<\/p>\n

26. \u201cWhat\u2019s The Big Deal With Duke\u2019s?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

Source: Duke\u2019s Mayonnaise via Facebook<\/div>\n

This condiment might come from South Carolina, but that doesn\u2019t keep their neighbors to the North from showing it some love. One of the most delicious mayonnaises around, once you try it, it\u2019ll ruin you for all those other wannabes.<\/p>\n

27. \u201cWhat\u2019s So Awesome About North Carolina?\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"27<\/p>\n

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

After a short visit, it\u2019s easy for anyone to tell what makes North Carolina so unique. With a beautiful coastline, truly delicious cuisine, and some of the friendliest people you\u2019ll ever meet, North Carolina is one of the coolest places in the country to be.
