What Are Unwritten Rules That Only Tennessee Residents Would Know?

I was born and raised in Ohio, when I move to new towns I always like to find out the unwritten “Do’s and Dont’s.”

In Ohio for instance a carbonated beverage like Pepsi is called Pop.  Another one is, whenever you are in public and someone yells out “O-H,” you have to respond with “I-O.”  Also, you must never speak of the state Up North (Michigan) unless is talking about the Buckeyes beating them at a sport.

So, I wanted to learn some unwritten rules for Tennessee, here’s a few I found, tell me if they are accurate:

  • Tea is only sweet
  • Cheering for Alabama sports is a sin
  • Tennessee has the best BBQ
  • You can hot-chicken in Nashville at Prince’s
  • Of course, Dolly Parton is Queen

Are these correct?  Is there something I am missing?

I want to learn the Tennessee ways…
