The best analogy I've heard for explaining Texas to non-Americans is that Americans view Texans the same way the rest of the world views Americans.


>Americans view Texans the same way the rest of the world views Americans.

Reversing some of the substrings in that string would also result in a very good analogy.


Like:

Texans view Americans the same way Americans view the rest of the world - derisively, but it is those viewers who should be derided, and often are, by the groups that they deride.


My partner got me this shirt and I love wearing it, not because of any sort of state pride just because I think it's absurdly hilarious.

30 years ago I had one that said, “Fuck you, we’re from Texas.”


thanks for wearing it ironically but it's not helping.


I'll accept that.

Somehow I forgot to mention truck nuts. Car culture is something else entirely in Texas.




So you're telling me that these big macho guys from Texas did gender reassignment surgery on their vehicles?


Yup. If you add nuts to your truck and it didn't come out of the factory with them, then your truck is trans.


Yeah...


Every country has a Texas. In Canada it's Alberta. In Germany it's Bavaria.
