Kith and Kin 

Your friends and family, respectively. The phrase dated back to the 1300 and originally meant "fellow country men" and "family members". It gradually has taken on a different meaning which we know today.

It is not a phrase that most people use nowadays, expect for Asatruar, as Kith and Kin is imporant in Asatru.

The mead horn is again passed, as praise, stories, and boasts are exchanged. Those assembled forge bonds of kith and kin with each other, deepening friendships and family relations with this holy sharing.

"Play me some songs about a ramblin' man, put old Jim Beam in my hand
'cause you know I still love to get drunk and hear country sounds
But don't you play 'Your Cheatin' Heart' cause that'll tear me all apart
I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound"-Hank Williams Jr

Floridian

A person who is from the state of Florida is called a Floridian. Many people who call themselves Floridians are not native born, but have migrated here from other states oft times bringing with them many of the negitive things associated with Florida. Many of the elderly retirees are snowbirds and spend half the year up North.

Not all Floridians are old, spend time in amusment parks, or live by the beach.

There are still a few of us native Floridians left in Florida.
