When it comes to Texas, the unique culture of the Lone Star State is a serious part of your every day life. From corn dogs to fixins to Weird Austin and “hook em’!”, there’s a lot that goes into being a Texan that non-Texans just won’t understand. As an homage to the beloved state of Texas, here are eight memes you’ll truly only understand if you live in Texas.
The Food Pyramid
In Texas, we take our food seriously. That means steak, steak, and more steak. Steak goes in tacos, steak gets barbecued, steak gets fried, and steak gets smoked. If you’re really from Texas, you’ll get the obsession with this glorious food pyramid. It’s just like the glorious Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness from Parks and Recreation but somehow better and more significant to Texas culture.
It’s Bake-Your-Cookies-Outside Hot
You’ve probably heard of fry an egg on the concrete hot, but have you ever heard of bake your cookies in the windshield of your car while you run errands hot? That’s how hot a Texan summer gets.
S’No Place for Snow in Texas
When it’s just too hot for snow, a tumbleweed snowman will have to do. Maybe they’ll call him Dusty instead of Frosty? Yes, we’ll go with that. Dusty; Frosty’s much uglier, dirtier, and less appealing brother.
A Texan Valentine
We weren’t kidding about the steak obsession. This is true love, Lone Star State style.
Grab Your Sunscreen…And Your Winter Jacket
If this weather prediction doesn’t make you sigh with understanding, you’re probably not from Texas. Nothing beats getting sunburnt on your face while the rest of your body is wrapped up in a North Face and long pants.
Watch the Freeways, Please
This is probably the most untrue thing a Texan has ever seen. The freeways can be pretty dangerous these days and the folks who use the left lane for their leisure drives at 10 under the speed limit are the worst part.
The Absolute Worst Part of Texas
This one says it all….
The Texas v. Austin Feud
A true Texan knows that Austin is basically packed full of hipster Southerners. A true Austin, Texan knows that and doesn’t care. It’s a glorious, beautiful, fulfilling place deep in the heart of Texas.
