You Know You're in West Texan When . . .

  • You can invite someone to eat all in one word: "Squeat" (Let's go eat!).
  • A large drink is approximately the size of a small lake. (Other terms for this size include "mamma jamma" and "herkin")
  • Average female hair height is about 2 inches taller than all other states in the union.
  • You hear the state name in every other commercial (it's "Texas size" or "Texas tough").
  • You have restaurants with names like "Texas China". (Who eats there? Honestly!)
  • There is a smorgasbord of road kill available. Choose from deer, wild hog, wild turkey, road runners, armadillos, skunks, and many, many more.
  • When spring arrives, everything turns brown (from the dust storms)!
  • You can refer to one person using the word "y'all".
  • Watching prarie dogs popping out of holes in the ground is the entertainment while sitting at a stop light.
  • Children actually say the pledge to the U.S. and the state flag. (Honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible. - Just in case you wanted to know.)
  • You believe that in your town, there actually may be more cows than dogs.
  • Using the Texas flag in your decor is considered very chic.
  • When someone says they're "fixin'", they really aren't offering to repair anything.
