Typical Ohioan Conversation
From Scott:
i could go on about this all night long.
instead i will just post the most ignorant conversation i have ever heard.
i actually heard exchange take place at red’s ice house on shem creek.
ohioan 1: “how long have you lived here?”
ohioan 2: “almost 3 years.”
ohioan 1: “your pretty much a local then.”
ohioan 1 and 2: “cheers”
make it stop
Scott, unfortunately this type of conversation is becoming more and more frequent. If living here for less than 3 years makes you a local, then the meaning of the word has changed sometime recently. This fine state only requires that one live here for 12 months to determine residency; actually becoming a true “Charlestonian”, however, takes many years of absorbing culture and history.
I wish I could make it stop.

Living in Charleston does not make one “from” there. As is defined in the Southern way of life… you are only “from” where you were born and/or grew up (there are some exceptions to this rule, of course). For example (two Southerners conversing in downtown Charleston):
Person 1: Where are you from?
Person 2: Well, I’ve lived in Mount Pleasant for ten years, but I was born in Rock Hill. Where are you from?
Person 1: I’ve lived in Summerville for a few years, but I’m from Greenville.
Thus from the above comversation, even though the two live in the Charleston vicinity, they are neither from there. They will never be “from” Charleston. They can both live there for a long, long, time but they will always “from” Rock Hill and Greenville, respectively.

Well put. However, it should also be noted that the Rock Hill and Greenville people are 1 million times more welcome here than any Ohioan or other Yankee will EVER be.
Let’s keep the south Southern.

Stonewall, very true.
May 3rd, 2007 at 11:34 pm
As a native Greenvillian, it’s nice to know I’m welcome
When I moved to Charleston nearly 5 years ago, a co-worker was kind enough to explain the difference between a “comeyea” and a “beenyea” TRANSLATE: people who “come here” from other places vs. people who have “been here” since birth or closely thereafter. It makes sense, really. A comeyea is a comeyea no matter how long they’ve beenyea.
I love this city and am proud to be a transplant. People who claim to be native when they really aren’t are presumptious and rude.

Unless you are of American Indian descent, none of us is from here. Or any other city for that matter.
Zip codes don’t make people who they are. Money, however, does help make this ‘place’ what it is.
Even if it that money is generated from someone who exited the womb in another State.

I’m Native American and from Ohio. I guess I should drink a beer now.
May 4th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
I am Native American and from South Carolina. GO HOME YANKEE!

2. the brown nut of any of these trees.
3. (initial capital letter) a native or inhabitant of Ohio (used as a nickname).
May 4th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
RO, that’s a pretty sweet signature you have attached to your comments. Where do you go to have a signature on this thing?
May 4th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
Well said, Jeff. You know, I find the Gamecock fans (particularly those who not only didn’t attend The University of South Carolina, but probably couldn’t find it on a map of the state) to be both far ruder and more abundant than the handful of Ohioans I know…

The infamous Mister Licious - I doubt that Mr. Schoonover would appreciate you opinions on this controvercial web site associated with his dealership.

IT IS APPARENT THAT A SOUTHERN GIRL GOT HER HEART BROKEN BY A NORTHERN BOY. INSTEAD OF
WASTING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME BASHING THE STATE OF OHIO AND THE PEOPLE WHO RESIDE THERE,
WHY DON’T YOU TRY GETTING A LIFE. BETTER YET MAYBE GET A HOBBY OF SOME TYPE. IF THAT
DOESN’T WORK TRY VOLUNTEERING SOMEWHERE MAYBE THAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER. AND
FINALLY IF THAT DOESN’T HELP MEND YOUR WITTLE BROKEN HEART TRY COUNSELING. I AM SORRY
THAT YOU’RE TAKING YOUR SITUATION SO PERSONALLY. I WILL BE SURE TO PRAY FOR YOU TO GET BETTER. ALWAYS REMEMBER WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER GOD.I’LL CALL YOU AND MAYBE WE CAN DO LUNCH.

Apparently his fat Ohio fingers slammed the caps lock key. What else can we expect but rudeness from his kind anyway?
May 16th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
Really I am amazed that he was even smart enough to log onto the internet neverless find this site and post a comment.

Friction is a drag.. Glad to see my “signiture” is irritating you, surely you did not think it was really a signiture did you? I just like posting it to irritate you.

Ohio is like that turd that accidentally gets snapped in half coming out of your butthole when you are taking a dump, and then you have to waste like half a roll of toilet paper smearing the other half all over your ass. Then you finally say, fuck it, I’ll just take a shower.

This is a true story from Hilton Head Island. A googan from Ohio walks in to a marina store. He is dressed in black shoes, denim shorts, and a tank top from Ohio State. He starts some annoying chit-chat with the store employees. After about three minutes he firmly begins to think he is a local. He looks out of the window overlooking the harbour at dead low tide. He was puzzled, then states, “Man, I thought we were having a drought back in Ohio!” I love story from the Beaufort native, but I think this has it beat. I have also heard one of them ask, “Who cuts the marsh grass?” Oh my god.
August 28th, 2007 at 6:51 pm
I know someone that moved to beaufort from New Jersey. They bought a home and two new cars. The day the car came home they put a LOCAL sticker on the back glass. Jesus Christ

I was born in Fayetteville NC to a father from VA and a mother from Gastonia NC - I spent the first 8 years in Gastonia, about 20 miles from the SC border. I grew up in Florence (or about 10 miles south of there) from age 8 till 18 when I went off to USC and later Clemson.
I have a hard time considering myself a native of South Carolina. I wasn’t born here, therefore, I’m not a native. Where am I from? I say Florence. I live in Charleston.
Where you are from is where you grew up, where you developed into who you are.
I work with a fellow who says he has been here for 35 years (but was at least 20 when he left yankeeland) and is pretty much a local. I say, no way! You don’t sound Southern and you don’t act Southern and you weren’t BORN Southern.
Just this morning, I was talking with a woman I work with who grew up on the Isle of Palms but was born in Detroit Michigan. Their family moved here when she was 5. I was telling her about how Appalachian State beat Michigan. She said she had to pull for Michigan. HUH!!?? If you are a Southerner, you pull for SOUTHERN teams over Yankee teams.
Anyhow, looks like it is time to secede again. I really mean that. Really.

Do you suppose the Pee Dee, Chicora, Edisto, Santee (just to name a few) tribes sent smoke signals to each other complaining about your European ancestors when they “invaded” the south?
October 1st, 2007 at 2:32 pm
We don’t care about the Indians. They were dumb enough to sell Manhattan for $13 of bullshit.
January 21st, 2008 at 8:03 pm
No matter how many crescent moon and palm trees you slap on your car, it’s still easy to spot a real SC girl. I can’t tell you how many girls/hags I see riding around with the “Carolina Girl” sticker on their car. Come on, there is no way to possibly convert to a Carolina Girl. You are either born one or you are not. So all you pasty, loudmouth, fucking skanks give up the dream and Go Back to Ohio. I am sure you will be appreciated, if there is anyone left in that fucked up state.
January 31st, 2008 at 4:22 pm
The teeth are usually a dead giveaway if the pasty cellulite doesn’t catch you first: You can see an Ohioan’s teeth from space..
February 13th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
All you narrow minded, ignorant “natives” can shove it. I would have never told any other state to leave my former state of residence, because that’s their own damn choice, whether the natives like it or not! I’m not from Ohio, but I will live where ever I please, HOWEVER I please. Got it? If you got a problem with that, shove it up your ass!!!
April 18th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Some of the language on this site is a atrocious. That being said, I’ll throw in my two cents worth. Growing up in Georgia, and having lived a few years in Columbia, Sumter, and Little River, I can say this: We have a very hard time letting go of the Civil War. The war ended in 1865! We really need to let it go. Hell, we’ve had at least five other conflicts we’ve faught TOGETHER in this country SINCE the Civil War ended. For God’s sake, we’re in a battle against terrorism now. Our military has kids over in Iraq from the South, the North, South Carolina, Ohio, etc., etc., and you guys are worried about pasty legs and minivans? I just don’t get it. I love the South as much as anyone, but this stuff gets a bit carried away sometimes.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Let me explain…..
I am a local. I was born in Charleston at Roper Hospital. I lived in Mt.Pleasant for 40 years. I graduated from Moultrie High School. I worked at the Shipyard. I moved in 1994 to the only place Ohioans refuse to go. West Virginia. They hate West Virginia. West Virginians will not take their shit and will just shoot them and bury them in an abandoned coal mine. It’s Great!! I visit often….(My two grown children still live in Mt.Pleasant)
Bottom line:….I am STILL a local. I will ALWAYS be a local. You have to be born and raised here to be a true local. It’s in our blood. It’s permantly between our toes. Pluffmud is perfume. And the Paper Mill smells like money. Go Home Yankee bitches…..come to West Virginia. We have a nice deep, empty mine just waiting for you.
July 28th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
i don’t care if you’re from SC or OH, Jesus loves us all
August 31st, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Reminds one of the story about the New Yorker who moved to Vermont with his family. (Like South Carolinians, Vermonters have long-standing traditions about who is “local” and who isn’t.)
NYer: So, my family has lived here for twenty years, and all of my children were born here. I guess that makes them Vermonters.
Vermonter: If your cat had kittens in the stove, would that make ‘em biscuits?
September 4th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Dear Northern gals. I am so very sorry . I was just tryin’ to get sum attention. I am a skanky ho and i don’t know no better. You Northern gals are all so smart and beautiful and I know that I will never measure up to any of you’s. I walk the 30 blocks to the public beach access every day and beg the tourists for a hand out. Sometimes I try in offer my swallowing skills to the handsome Northern men. BUT they aint want nuthin to do with me. Sometimes I pretend that I am stayin at one of those purdy hotels on the beach front. I even jump in the pools to get a bath. See I do try to get clean. At the end of the day, I walk home the 30 blocks and call it a good day. My lil Tammie May is only 7 years old, but she keeps a good eye on my brood while I am out beggin . I pologize for my dumb stuff i wrote on here, after all i’m only a crack hore. love to all you’n northern people, we need your money so keep comin’ back!
September 4th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
I am pathetic. I want to be a Carolina Girl and I am so desperate that I even tell people I am going to SC. I pretend to be flying out of Ohio on Monday and to SC. I say that I am staying at a condo until October. I really can’t fly because I am HUGE. I am going to lose this baby weight though. My son turned 30 yesterday and I know I can do it. Buckeye Girl said she would help me and since we are one in the same I know we will make a great team.
September 4th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Bubba, I mean skanky ho’, get a life, get a job’ stop blowing everyone.
September 21st, 2008 at 10:11 pm
EVERYONE!!! please grow up..you all look disgraceful
September 23rd, 2008 at 7:13 am
“you all look disgraceful”. Do you see people on this website? Perhaps you have some sort of magical powers. You must be one of those “special needs” Ohioans also known as a retard. I know one thing - your a fucking idiot.
October 1st, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Let me rephrase that for “good for you”: All of your words are disgraceful and unbecoming of Americans.
To all of you Ohioans AND South Carolinians on this stupid site:
The USA is the greatest country on this planet in SPITE of people like you.
Grow up.
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:24 am
Moderator if you don’t like the website get the fuck off! You can probably do that yourself can’t you?
October 3rd, 2008 at 4:00 pm
I’m off, pal. Stop being a burden on society.
October 4th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Moderator is a yankee. Enough said.

Had to add this in response to the “original post.” I was in Bluffton, SC not too long ago. I was introduced to a girl by a mutual friend. Just making social small talk I asked, “where are you from?” She responds, “I am from here.” Having been born and raised in South Carolina; I know a Carolina Girl when I see one. Anyway, I smelled a wannabe. I looked her right in the eyes and said, “really,” as if I didn’t believe her.
Once she knew she was caught in a bold face lie, she proceeded to tell me that she was “from Ohio, but really she was from here, because she has lived here seven years,…. so really she is from here, blah blah blah” >> Uh, hell no you are not! But being the true Carolinian I am, I kept my mouth shut and gave her one of those humble, Carolina smiles, because I knew the truth!
Typical. I understand that people move here for a better way of life, a job, etc. Of course, I don’t want you here and pray that you will go back ASAP; but these Buckeyes unfortunately have the right to transplant.
But…. You are FROM wherever you were born and raised. Sorry, it’s just a fact! So no matter how horrible it is to be “from Ohio,” you cannot change that. No amount of time will make you a Carolina Girl. (The Ohioan in reference was cute, I admit. But I instantly knew that she was not a Carolinian)
So kids, the moral of the story is this: if you came here from Ohio; then you are from Ohio. You have no chance to ever be a “local” and you cannot be a “Carolina Girl.” You will never be from South Carolina. For a clan of people (Buckeyes)to be so arrogant and have such pissy attitudes, they make every effort to say they are from South Carolina. God it must suck in Ohio!
October 14th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
You can move to WHEREVER YOU DAMNED WELL PLEASE. Sorry, it’s just a fact! So no matter how horrible it is to be “from Ohio,” you CAN change that. Simply residing in the fair Palmetto Republic makes you a Carolina Girl.
So kids, the moral of the story is this: if you came here from Ohio it does not matter…you are still a South Carolina resident. A SOUTH CAROLINIAN - PERIOD. So what if you’re not an original “local” - WHO THE FUCK CARES except the crybaby minority of Americans who were born in S.C. - as if that were any great accomplishment. (Message - IT ISN’T!) You can certainly be a “Carolina Girl” if you live here. That means you are from South Carolina. For a clan of people (so-called “native South Carolinians”)to be so arrogant and have such pissy attitudes is stupid, uneducated and sickening. And they wonder why they’re dead-last in SAT scores. Amazing.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
“South Carolina natives,” America is laughing at you. You’re a joke.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:46 am
To post #38- So if I move to Alaska for work; then given your theory, I am an Alaskan?
I if I move to Italy, I am an Italian? If I move to Mexico, then I am a Mexican? What the fuck?
Yankee and Proud is obviously a fucking idiot. I encourage you to read all of his previous submitted posts…… To summarize, they go something like this:
“I will move wherever I want, whenever I want, and nobody will tell me any different.”
Except, this website is telling you something different. I just hope that you walk around this fine state knowing that we all hate you.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Let me quote from post #38.
“Simply residing in the fair Palmetto Republic makes you a Carolina Girl.”
Make it stop. These fools are everywhere.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I can move to wherever I damned well please. And there is not a damned legal thing that you can do about it.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Get rid of the palmetto-and-crescent pajamas, South Carolina. You turds (unsuccessfully) tried to shit all over the USA with your Ordinance of Secession. How many Presidents have you elected from this rathole of a state? Zero. (Andrew Jackson does not count - he ran from Tennessee.) How many major sports championships have you won? One (Clemson ‘81 - gee, I’m impressed…Ohio State alone has five.) How many top-50 national universities do you have? Zero. How many Fortune 500 companies are based here? A handful, if that.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Go fuck yourselves, you delusional South Carolina pigs. The truth is that even a lot of SOUTHERN states kick your asses in most meaningful categories.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
South Carolina: The Crybaby State
October 15th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
South Carolina: A state that will be far better when its pathetic natives leave to form a leper colony…prefereably tied together on rafts out in the Atlantic.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
You can’t make me leave, you pansies. Deal with it.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
South Carolina sucks as long as the so-called “natives” think they own the place. They don’t.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
You were deservedly smashed, beaten, and punished for your sin of slavery. Of all the Southern states, this little turd factory started it all. You can’t deny it - deal with it.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
…and Ohio did it to you. Now we’re doing it to you again.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
By the way, who do you think the REAL “original natives” were here, you idiots? They damn sure weren’t plantation-owning slaveholding snots. Just TRY to be proud of that legacy. You can’t.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
The fact that the United States of America is the greatest country in the world is even MORE true given the fact that your septic tank of a state is part of it. Ohio contributes solid industry to help the USA maintain its #1 position. What the hell has South Carolina EVER contributed to make the USA #1? Nothing.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
You’re going to have to deal with me, assholes. I will personally make your puny lives so fucking miserable that you’ll have to close down this pathetic website.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
May your swimming pools be infested with alligators.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
We Ohioans will continue to invade your state for its bountiful ocean coast until the last of you crybaby natives leaves. You don’t order us around. We order you around. And we win. And we win. And we win.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
If you live in South Carolina, YOU ARE A LOCAL no matter WHERE you were born. Our republic rewards INITIATIVE AND MERIT, not birthright.
People who move from Ohio (or anywhere) to South Carolina simply have the GUTS to try and make their lives better. And they also have the guts to stay here among you cowardly crybabies who hide in your mommy’s basements. Grow up.
South Carolinians who stay here their whole lives are GUTLESS COWARDS who lack the courage to venture out beyond this little small-minded state.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Here is a quote from the epitome of an Ohio idiot (post #56, among others):
“If you live in South Carolina, YOU ARE A LOCAL no matter WHERE you were born”
Make it stop, South Carolina. Of course these Buckfucks are getting the hint now. They are leaving and heading for Charlotte.
October 16th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Poor Charlotte but better them than us.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
To the proud yankee’s post 43 - I bet you are a proud fuckeye football fan. Did Jerry Faust make you especially proud when he did so well at Notre Dame? What happened there yankee?
October 16th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Doesn’t matter…Notre Dame’s won 13 national titles, and Ohio State’s won 5. South Carolina and Clemson (a rivalry that looks like two monkeys throwing bananas at each other in the zoo) have combined for 1. You lose. Now shut the fuck up.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
We know you are sitting in Ohio. Thank god we can’t hear your loud mouth from here.
October 17th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Yankee & Proud we hope you stay in Ohio where you belong with the rest of those yankees.
Cheer those fuckeyes to victory now since that’s all you have in your miserable yankee life.
I’m sure you are the typical loud mouth yankee: fat, pasty white, red hair and you wear those sandals with the dress socks. I think in the South we call you a LOSER! It’s fun though because we laugh and laugh and laugh.
October 18th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Psst…hey, I have it on good authority that Yankee and Proud is just trying to drive up your website traffic. He’s really on your side. C’mon, play along…nothing personal.
