Things I have learned living in Alabama

I wish I could take credit for this being something I wrote but I didn't. I am not sure who did but they seem to understand where I come from.

Things I have learned living in Alabama :
A Possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.
"Onced" and "Twiced" are words.
It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.
"Jaw-P " means "Did ya'll go to the bathroom?"
People actually grow AND eat okra.
"Fixinto" is one word.
There is no such thing as "lunch".
There is only dinner and then there is supper.
Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar!
Backards and forwards means "I know everything about you."
The word "Jeet" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
