Question

im sick of the tv show that say texans have a accent, and live on farms ridin horses instead of cars? the suite life of zack and cody dose it alot. im dont think its funny. i live in texas and i do not have a farm, and no one in my family is a cowboy. i sick off all those shows? whos with me!!!

Answer 1

Me too. I think I've been on a horse one time in my life. I do not have a strong accent. I've gone to college. I am not inbred Thanks for putting it out there.

Answer 2

I'd probably care if I weren't from Houston. For some reason the rest of Texas seems to think Houston is not really a Texan place. When I went to college in a small Texas town, there was a sign on the wall of a restaurant that said, "Life's too short to live in Houston." All the small-town people said "Oh, you're from Houston, you're not REALLY a Texan."

Ignore the shows. They only show the ignorance of the writers. Besides, there are worse things to be said about Texas. Like how our state was the first to execute a female (which happened in that small town I mentioned my first year there).

Answer 3

Well I live in Texas and I am not originally from here. SO depending on where you are from People in Texas have an accent as I'm sure you know people from the north have and accent. Don't let it bother you so much chill out and enjoy being a Texan cause everything is Bigger n Texas Ya'll

Answer 4

Im with you. But whether you know it or not you do have an accent, that people can tell is from Texas, Hick accent or not. Did not know this till I went to Arizona for a couple of months last year. Think about this every time you say YALL!

Answer 5

those that believe the way you say are many, but they are the same ones that take from Texas and give little back. Texas can do with out them, but they cant do with out Texas. the gas they heat their homes with, the fuel they put in their over priced autos all is refined in Texas. you ever hear the song "Freeze a Yankee" ?get a copy load it up and LOL.its so easy for little weenie states to mouth off when they cant find a tree to wipe their butts on. from a Texas cattle raiser and a few camels

Answer 6

i do have an accent. AN accent not a accent. all i can say is stop watching stupid shows. personally i don't care what a Nickelodeon (or is it Disney)shows thinks of Texans. no i own no horses yet i like going for rides with my friends. anyways.. i do not why i am rambling.
Stay safe.

Answer 7

Yeah I think it's BS but it's not as bad as how they make ppl from WV look. It's always trailer parks and ppl w/ no teeth..lol I don't live in a trailer park and I have all my teeth!!!!! And we don't sleep w/ our cousins and our brother is not also our uncle or anything crazy like that!!!!!!! and we don't look like or act like those ppl from that movie "Wrong Turn". just to clear that up!! I do say y'all sometimes tho and ppl from different parts of the state actually say stuff about my accent. You don't realize you even have one til you go somewhere else. When I talk to my friend on the phone that lives 2 hrs away, I think she has an accent.

GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOTY WOOOOOOT!

Answer 8

I am! I hate it when I go to like other states and they ask me if I ride a horse to school...not everyone in texas owns a farm

Answer 9

i'm from Texas and its basically like countless different state, we're not the human beings from comic strip, i've got not seen a guy donning a cowboy hat in months and my pals and that i admire Tokio hotel and demise steel bands i might quicker shoot my self than pay attention to county song

Answer 10

Well speaking on behalf of those of us from Alabama, most television shows make you guys look downright respectable compared to us! You're probably too young to remember the movie "Deliverance" huh.......
