Where you marry and fuck your sister.

Briefly, "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own." Originally from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, which has a lot more beautiful neologism definitions like this you might enjoy.

You know you're in Alabama when you:
1) See the rebel flag.
2) See the dirtiest bay you've ever seen.
3) See a rednick in a suit.
4) Notice rocket ships.
5) See a couch towed behind a pickup truck.
6) Notice that you've been driving for an hour with nothing but cows, pine trees, and rednecks.

A metaphor for "The entire state is one big family"

A truly lovely state, by certain standards, where the unofficial motto is...
"Alabama: At Least We're Not Mississippi!"

(n.) The State without Car Inspections.

Alabama isn't what most the people on here think it is, all you putting it down saying negative things, are wrong. I live in Alabama, yes i have ALL my teeth, NO i dont wear overalls, and i dont screw my sisters. I live in Birmingham, the largest city in Alabama. College football is loved down here, everyone gets along, welcomed by everyone. I dont expect anyone to feel sorry for me! If you want to raise a good family with peace and quiet Alabama is for you, if you want to party and live in the big city then it's not.
