If you're in north Florida then being a cracker is good, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_cracker

You might need to work on that slack ass thing, though.

Off point from the OP, but we lived down in Shreveport, LA for the last 5+ years. Got along reall well with my neighbor. Never thought much of it but he mostly called me "Damn Yankee", which I thought was in jest. That is until I told him we were were moving. Oddly, after he found out we were moving up to Indiana he no longer used Damn and just called me "Yankee".
