Things I Learned Living in South Carolina :

2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in SouthCarolina.
 
3. There are 10,000 types of spiders.  All 10,000 of them live in South Carolina, plus a couple no one’s ever seen before!

4. If it grows, it'll stick ya.  If it crawls, it'll bite cha.

5.'Onced' and 'Twiced' are words.

6. It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.

7. 'Jaw-P?' means 'Did y'all go to the bathroom?'

8. People actually grow and eat okra.

9. 'Fixinto' is one word.

10. There is no such thing as 'lunch.'  There is only dinner and then there is supper.

12. Backwards and forwards means 'I know everything about you.'

13. The word 'Jeet' is actually a question meaning 'Did you eat?'

14. You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what timeit is.  You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.
