Before moving to the North East many Texans told me things they I have found to not be true.
Myth 1: Everyone is rude.
FALSE. I have meet more nice people than rude people.
Myth 2: People will not hold the door open for you.
FALSE! Many people hold the door open.
Myth 3: People do not wear bright colors.
I have seen plenty of bright colors. The person who told me that must have come here in the winter when no one wears bright colors.
I have learned a few new words while in Conneticut
Grinder - sandwich
First selectman - mayor. For smaller towns they have selectmen and the first selectmen is the mayor.
Tag sale - not garage sale or yard sale
Stag - male deer - also an insurance companies mascot. (Hartford is the insurance capitol)
Wicked, meaning "cool." I haven't gotten into saying that yet but am trying to incorporate it into my vocabulary.
Dr. Pepper is not as common here like at restaurants but don't worry I can still find it at the grocery.
I'm still looking for good fried chicken!
