Street Smart

A common trait for many people, especially males, that usually grew up either in the inner city or hardworking rural environment. Average intelligence, common sense, lack of interest in reading, ability to fix most anything without needing an instruction manual, skill at handling difficult people, and a refreshing lack of personal warmth are typical traits. People who lack street smarts usually grew up or live in the suburbs, work a white collar job, regular churchgoers, stay in their personal protective cocoon, shelter their kids, and hire people to fix their things.

Middle Class

A living standard some 75% of Americans think they’re at, but it’s a relevant term. In terms of income, some are college educated people with professional white-collar jobs that are single that live in simple one bedroom apartments, but many tradesman that barely finished high school that have families live in a comfortable home in the suburbs, but can’t afford much more than a mortgage and enough food to eat. And you have union tradesmen making more money than accountants and engineers, but most of them don’t live at the same level because of their mentality. In reality, the middle class are college-educated, work white-collar occupations above a secretary or bank clerk, but not physicians or attorney’s, live in a tract home in the suburbs, two cars usually at least one an SUV or Minivan, have a pedigree dog, favorite restaurants are Starbucks, Red Robin, or Chili’s, their kids are highly monitored and in at least one extracuricular activity, their church is usually anything but Roman Catholic, Hardshell Baptist, or Pentecostal, and vacations at least once a year, usually places like Disney World. Many living in mountain climates enjoy skiing or snowboarding in their leisure time and coastal climates the beach.

Yankee

A term many native Texans and southerners regardless of background use to describe people mostly from the upper Midwest and especially the northeast, usually Maryland and above. The western half of the United States, even far north states like Montana, Washington, and Alaska, are rarely taken into consideration because of their frontier nature and lack of accents. To Texans and southerners, Yankees are viewed as unfriendly, shrewd, indifferent, uppity, blunt, and a threat to their genial, warm, welcoming, and down home culture, which many Yankees view as intruding, a threat to privacy, and fake. Many well to do Yankees have migrated to Florida and Texas as retirement havens.

Builds Character

A term many working classes and deeply religious people use to have an impressionable and coddled young person experience something unpleasant or humiliating, usually hard labor, something embarrassing, or confinement. Results usually end up either having the person's spirit broken or ending up with being just as much of an asshole as the person enforcing it.

Austin, Texas

A once quiet, laid-back, friendly small Texas city populated mainly by native Texans and UT students. A very attractive and pleasant place, full of culture, great food, a great music scene, and nonstop nightlife, but a climate of brutal summers lasting 6 months out of the year and bipolar winters that can be anywhere from 10-90 degrees. Until the 1970’s, many people outside the south commonly known as “Yankees”, decided to move there and kept their personalities and culture of perceived unfriendliness, hostility, and indifference. And for the past 20-30 years, it has now become a very progressive city full of culture and pretentiousness, but now an overcrowded and overpriced cesspool with nonstop traffic from 5:00 a.m to 1:00 a.m. and middle-classes flocking to Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Leander on the north side and Buda and Manchaca on the south side. Westlake Hills remains the upper middle class white flight area it has been since the 1970’s.

I’m from Austin, Texas. I’m a UT graduate with a doctorate degree in philosophy, a vegan that loves beyond sausage hot dogs with Sriracha, wants a sterile, politically correct society, and far left socialist. Drive up the prices of homes to make the place more desirable! Now I’m going to work at the vegan restaurant I work at waiting tables so I can pay my $3000 a month rent on a 1 room apartment downtown!

Union

One of the most misunderstood people in the working world, from a white-collar workers point of view. Many are mechanics, electricians, and other technicians making $30-$40 an hour for jobs that most non-union employees would otherwise pay only half that much. Many union employers are those that reel you in and just let you go during the probationary period, even if you prove yourself hardworking and competent, but will keep the lazy and incompetent, just because they are friends with management or well-liked. If you have a blue-collar trade or skill, want to make a good wage, just want to put in a good 8 hours work a day, and no intention of trying to climb the corporate ladder, a union job is well-suited for you. And yes, many union workers are lazy shitbags that take numerous breaks and complain about everything, but there are many others that are honest, hardworking, and dedicated to their jobs. The union reps, with the backup of politicians and the mafia, are the ones who keep things going for the common working man. Many Republicans and conservatives dislike unions because they believe good money should be earned though merit and hard work and that anybody that does not have a college degree and works a skilled trade deserves just enough money to keep themselves fed and a roof over their head
