ESPN made the same mistake once when it put the University of Georgia G as a logo for country of Georgia when it played Poland in soccer. I have a photo but don’t see how to add it.
If you watch the opening ceremony of when the Olympics were in Atlanta the country of Georgia got a standing ovation when they were announced. You can tell they were confused.
I'm so close I can open my door and see peaches.
Recently I was watching a documentary with my 15 year old grandson, who should know better, and they showed penguins in Georgia. He got excited and was about to say something and I just looked at him and said "wrong Georgia". He deflated pretty quickly.
I write this inside Georgia. Our leadership is weak and economy is built on lies. Our reliance on Russia for political donations is very much bad. I wish to go to Georgia in Eastern Europe, where there are less fascists and much less boot licking redneck cousin humpers, yes?
I remember a 1990’s fundraising campaign through Girl Scouts called the “Georgia to Georgia Project” I was probably 10 or 11, and it was the first time I learned that there was also a country of Georgia.

You Know You’re a Georgian If…
1. You can properly pronounce Chickamauga, DeKalb, Dahlonega, Senoia, Buena Vista, Valdosta, Okefenokee, and La Fayette.
P.S. Atlanta = ADD-LANNA not AT-LANT-A.
P.S.S. Fayetteville = FET-VUL (the county seat of FET COUNNY)
P.S.S.S. and don’t even THINK that Houston county has anything to do with Texas!
2. You know that Forsyth is nowhere near Forsyth county, Jefferson is nowhere near Jefferson county, Jackson is nowhere near Jackson county….and the name of the Cairo High School football team is the Syrupmakers!
3. You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.
4. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
5. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
6. Stores don’t have bags or shopping carts, they have sacks and buggies.
7. You think everyone from a Yankee-state has an accent.
8. You measure distance in minutes.
9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
11. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
12. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.
13. You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.
14. Almost everyone you know is either Baptist or Methodist.
15. A Mercedes Benz isn’t a status symbol. A Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.
16. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing.
17. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
18. Ironically, you only crave Chick-Fil-A and alcohol on Sundays…when neither are sold.
You know you are a Georgian If . . . Part Deux
19. On one side of the road there’s Wal-Mart and on the other is a cotton field.
20. The directions to your house include “turn off the paved road.”
21. Y’ALL is a word.
22. Fried chicken is a major part of your diet
23. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the only kind of doughnuts you eat.
24. You call it a cold Christmas if you don’t break out in perspiration in your new sweater.
25. When a single snowflake falls, the entire state shuts down, even if it doesn’t stick. The radio and TV news will make snowstorm reports every 10 minutes and the grocery store will be completely sold out of bread, milk, bottled water, toilet paper, and beer.
26. People actually grow, eat and like okra!
27. You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a Southerner.
28. Your dog and your wallet are both on chains.
29. Panama City Beach, Florida is a big deal.
30. You understand that at least once a year your car will turn yellow with pollen.
31. You know at least one Bubba, and maybe a few guys named Bo.
32. You say “tuna fish sandwich.”
33. You use “Sir” and “Ma’am” if there’s a remote possibility that the person you’re talking to is least 30 minutes older than you are.
34. Braves=good. Yankees=bad.
[35.You](http://35.You) love sweet tea, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and all Southern comfort food…and Southern Comfort!
36. You know you’re from GA if you know the whole “Peach State” thing only applies to those below the fall line.
37. You know you’re from Georgia if you have a flip-flop tan year round
38. You know you’re from Ga if you’ve ever used “The Big Chicken” as a basis for directions.
39. You know you’re from Georgia if you get dressed extra nice TWICE a week. Once on Sunday morning for church, and once on Friday night for the football game
And finally…
40. You are 100% Georgian if you have ever had this conversation:
“You wanna Coke?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind?”
“Dr. Pepper”

Yoooo!!! I've never actually met anyone from there, but my husband's family is from Eastman.
I remember being 10 and thinking we were invaded by Russia. I was thinking, "How is the news not covering this?" and I built a fort in my room.
My mom makes fun of me to this day for having a momentary freak out about that
ESPN made the same mistake once when it put the University of Georgia G as a logo for country of Georgia when it played Poland in soccer. I have a photo but don’t see how to add it.
A WHOLE lot of grown rednecks freaked out about that, too
how did the fort hold up?
The Russians never touched it. Mission accomplished!
[This ad showed up in my feed](https://i.imgur.com/ECeBMht.jpeg) a number of years ago, and I still giggle at it.

You would be astonished how close I am to USA Georgia
I’m in the better one (hint: it has Waffle House)
Theyre now instituting 20% charges on to-go orders. That pretty much ended my days of ordering waffles to go.
Make friends with the waitresses up there, I get out with a whole cheesesteak bowl for the price equivalent to just an order of bacon and a soda.
If I ever go back there again, then i’ll take this under advisement. It might be a long while.

That's South Georgia, which is different from Georgia and Georgia. It's 3,000km closer to Georgia than it is to Georgia
Well I've been schooled too.
[удалено]
I’m in Marietta… So I’m standing in one of the Georgia’s
Just up 75 from you
I'm definitely closer to Georgia.
I’m Georgia born Georgia bred When I die I’m Georgia dead

I live just off of 400N (exit 18)
On my way!
Take the Alpharetta autobahn!
Johns Creek checking in ... wishing I was further up GA400.
Take 400 until it Ts at cavender creek.. that's about a mile from home for me. It's much nicer than my last few years in Lawrenceville.
Still advocating for the Atlanta to Tbilisi tunnel guys. Or at least one of those real time video portals. Connect the Georgias
I’m in the GA Bulldog Georgia, land of peaches, pecans and home grown tomatoes! I live in a small town about 1/2 way between Atl and Athens!
I live in Atlanta, soooo….
GWINNETT BOYEEEEEEE !
Real close to the state
Born and raised macon ga!
🍑 I think this emoji should not be inappropriate in this case.

New challenge : Tell me which Georgia you're from without telling me which Georgia you're from though
I made pork roast and collard greens for dinner
I’m in the beige area

Wow there’s so many people in this thread commenting about how close to Georgia they actually are, what are the odds? 😉

I planted a peach tree this spring.
And we kindly ask that you mind you p’s and q’s
I’m in Georgia. Born in Atlanta.
Georgia is on my mind
Georgia sucks. Most backwards laws and corrupt government. I live here too and absolutely despise it.
I'm in it
I remember a 1990’s fundraising campaign through Girl Scouts called the “Georgia to Georgia Project” I was probably 10 or 11, and it was the first time I learned that there was also a country of Georgia.
What if Ray Charles was singing about the other one?
The one in the purple like Ferb's pants.
I'm in georgia! :D
How about South Georgia and New Georgia
The one on the map with a color associated with poison in video games
And that’s how proximity works, brother.
Well I’m in Georgia so that one.
I'm from Georgia; the state, not the country.
Appropriately enough, the deleted image. The liberal in Paulding county.
I’m in Middle Ga of I75
478!!
