Both words are also slang - shrimp : small/undersized - prawn : foolish person - but not taken offensively if "said with a smile".

I can't believe no one has claimed Tennessee yet! OK..we don't ALL live in Nashville or Memphis. We don't marry our cousins (well..not 1st cousins anyway) :wink: , nor our brothers or sisters. We normally do own shoes and most of us have more than 1 pair. Our shirts actually come with sleeves (although you would think not if you watch tv). We don't ALL love grits. We don't call EVERYONE "honey or Darrrrlin'". Most of us got past the 6th grade.
But the one thing that is true about not just TN, but the south is..you've heard of "Southern Hospitality"?? Its ALL true...come on down and see for yourself! :lol:

Ha ha I so hope that you enjoy my state. . .
No we are not all Mormon. We will not run you out of town if you won't be baptized. Yes we are Christians.
There are more cities in Salt Lake County than Salt Lake. ha ha ha
Yes you can buy a drink in the bar. But you might have to buy the membership first. (Although they were trying to change that law last year).
O yaa Pologymy is still practiced. But not approved of. Usually not by Mormons.
O and least of but not last Yes Utah is a state. It is on the map right between Colorado and Neveda and its south of Idaho and north of Arizona
Have a great day Ladies

I am a born-breed-lived here all my life Georgia peach!
We are edumacated...sum of us are even 10th grad graduates from the University. That makes most of us dawgs...more exact...BullDawgs. We bleed red and black and MUST pass thru Athens to get to Heaven.
A lot of us drive them ole pick-me up trucks...gotta have somethin for the in-laws to live in. No room in the shack. We use trees for outhouses. Coka-cola is our drink of choice along with some of Jimmy's peanuts. Moonpies are a main dish. Southern fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, fried okry, and a mess of collard greens and chittlins with SWEET tea and watermelon is the BEST Sunday dinner ya'll ever had. Don't make fun of our Southern drawl...it's taken us years to perfect it. We fly ALL flags... American, Confederate, State of Georgia, and of course...NASCAR. We love every one...cept for that General Sherman dude. Him not nice...think he's got a fire-fettish! Hot in Georgia makes the Devil think he's at the North Pole.
(please take with the humor intended) Gotta admit...the pickup trucks do help with the hauling of new sewing machines and fabric!
God Bless America and God Bless All of our friends across the world!

In Texas we don't all wear cowboy hats, spurs, carry guns & ride horses. DS does 3 of them though. We are the only state that celebrates June 19. (I think). Like Alabama we aren't all rednecks, hillbillies or white trash. Our Mexican food is nothing like over the border. It's called Tex-Mex. Lots of red rind cheese, chili gravy & meat. We mainly BBQ beef. We go to town to get a coke even if it is Dr Pepper. We aren't married to our 1st cousins. I can't think of any more right now. Oh we are all very friendly.

We are not apart of Tornado alley, only on the very very outskirts
We don't all talk like wise guys...
We DO sound like the people on TV so therefore we do not have an accent. ;)
WE did originate Yous Guys... Not New Jersey ;)
Some of the best comedic Actors DID come from Chicago

On the travel channel, they did a Chicago vs New York on pizza... and New York won. Why? Cause they used firefighters from LA who know nothing about pizza.
