I love how people in the North are like "It's 60 degrees outside! YES! We get to wear shorts!" and that the people in the South are like "Dadgummit, turn that heater on!", amirite?

Actually us Canadians use C not F so the proper way is "YESSS ITS 15"

Only sluts get excited about wearing shorts. Whoreza!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So when it is 110 degrees F girls are sluts for wanting to be more comfortable in shorts?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Read the wordings again. There is a difference between 'have to' and jumping at the first chance. But hey you have to admit girls love to strut thier stuff

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I misread, apologies. That second part seems to be especially true for those who have no stuff to strut.

I was born and raised in NY and I only wear shorts in 60 degree weather right after winter.

As a southerner, I do not appreciate the "Dadgummit." -_-

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You're right. but some southerners do say it.

y'all are lucky. freezing to you is the Irish 'warm'. the highest temp. we get is in the 30's celsius.

Yeah, but in the summer, Northerners freak out when it's more than 80 degrees, while people in the South have 105+ weather without complaining.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes, we Northerners complain when the weather gets above 80, but that's because we aren't around that kind of heat ALL the time. I'd love to see how a Southerner reacts to 40 degree weather...

40 degree? In February, I was sitting outside with my friends at lunch while it was snowing and about 30 degrees , we just had our "coats" on, and hats because the administration made us wear them. (I call it a "coat" because I went up to Minnesota to see family for Christmas and I had to wear one of their old coats because mine wasn't nearly warm enough).

Wait, what? You think Southerners are around 40 degree weather all the time?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

bahaha! so true.

I'm a southerner, but I'm not a hick that says dadgummit. In the south, humidity is insane, so 90 degree weather feels like 100. Imagine in August when the actual temperature is 110. Southerners also experience freezing temperatures too. The past two years it has snowed an inch in northern Florida. Southerners experience cold and hot temperatures, unlike many northerners who only have one: cold. This amirite is stupid.

Oh my gosh, an inch!! You poor things, how will you ever survive? To set the record straight, northern America is in a temperate zone, with the most extreme changes of any parts of the country; in the space of six months, we go from below 0 F to above 100 F, a far more severe change than in the South, y'all.

I'm from the southern US, I've experienced temperatures ranging from below zero to well above 100 degrees in a normal year. I've seen it snow a foot in April and be over 90 degrees in January. It really just depends on where you are specifically, not just in the north or south. By the way, I've never actually heard anyone from the south say "y'all."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That depends on what you consider "the South." I actually have heard them say that. They don't really say it in Florida from what I've heard though.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm from the south and people say y'all all the time. It's a southern word so get over it.

Yes, you may have a more sever change over all, but (at least in Texas), our weather is more bipolar in shorter periods. It snowed February 23rd in Austin (we all remember the date) and was 32.5 degrees at noon, the next day it was 55 degrees at noon which was about 20 degrees warmer, and the next day it was 75 degrees at noon. It sucked, you never know how to dress for the weather. (And it sucked that it was 32.5 degrees. We weren't allowed to go home unless it reached 32 degrees because the schools and city just don't have the equipment to deal with the cold)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well, when you think about it, that's just a change of 40 degrees. That happens in the space of two days a lot up here. It just takes a cold front or a warm front, really.

True

by Anonymous 13 years ago

This is a stupid argument. People who live in warmer climates have thinner blood and may feel the need to wear a sweatshirt when it's eighty. People like me who live father north have thicker blood and can wear a teeshirt and shorts when it's 50 like it's no ones business. End of story.

Well worded, especially the last half of the second-to-last sentence. :-)

I wear shorts all year... no matter what.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Err, not exactly.. I don't wear shorts unless I HAVE to. Which is when it's over 20 degrees (or like 70 for you Americans :P).. I'm from Canada, by the way ;)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm from Southern California, anything below 70 means sweaters and long sleeve...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Heh. Say whatever you want, but this is true for most. Except it's more like 50 degrees. I'm in northern Florida, by the way.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

How far north are you talking about? Because I live in Oregon, and I think 60 is still too cold to wear shorts. I never wear shorts anyway... so...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

well everyone. when i say south, i mean the very very end of texas.
