I love to make really bad similes/metaphors like “I have the memory of a fish with very poor memory” or “I’m as tall as a tree thats my height”.

    I live in Illinois and like to say that the souther you go the Kentuckier you get. While accurate, the grammar is very, very stupid.

      I used to work with a guy from Kentucky and he used to say “there’s nothing worse than an Illinois Yankee.” (I should emphasize I have nothing against Illinois, I just thought it was funny and an interesting counterpoint to your comment. BTW: am a Yankee.)

      Also, I work with a guy from rural Pennsylvania, and he sometimes describes it as Pennsyltucky.

        Kentucky voted 64.47% for Trump in 2024. Their opinion is irrelevant.
