Night Elf Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yesterday in my dd14's french class, they were talking about the motto of Canada and the US. Then the teacher asked what the state of Georgia motto was. The class was quiet for several seconds until a guy in the back of the room said 'Git er done!' I should admit I don't know our (Georgia) motto though. I rather like the one suggested. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a positive attitude. :) It's much more exciting than 'Wisdom, Justice and Moderation', our actual motto. And of course I live surrounded by people who drive big trucks with the Confederate flag flying from the back. That's just a tad bit weird.

After learning the "real" motto, I think "Git 'er done!" is probably a lot more motivating. And it will be more fun to read on bumper stickers.

speedmom4 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 My older son was in speech therapy when he was younger and the ST was trying to help my son say the word "pie". The problem was that she pronounced it "paaahhh". My poor son had no idea what word it was and I finally had to interrupt and "interpret" for him! I've lived in the South most of my life but this lady had one of the thickest North Carolina accents I had ever heard. I couldn't believe she was a speech therapist.

Catwoman Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 He's not even from the south. I'd forgotten about that! Isn't he from the midwest? I'm thinking he's from Nebraska, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 He's not even from the south. That's okay. I don't even know who he is really. I've heard his name but I'm clueless beyond that. :) It still sounds like the good old boys around here. I dated a guy in high school that talked like that. Dd14 says it's so funny to hear their southern accents trying to pronounce french. The close ones say parlay vuu frahnsay in a southern accent. The poor ones say parlaze vuze francase.

KrissiK Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I really like that. That should be our state's motto. Instead it's "tax 'em more". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianeW88 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I live in Utah....ours is "Industry". Simple and easy to remember. And actually, a more PC version of "git 'er done", isn't it? :smilielol5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrellyMama Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I rather like Iowa's motto: Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain. I think a lot of the people I know might shorten that to: "Get your stinkin' hands off my gun!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My home state's motto is "Mountaineers Are Always Free", which I've always loved. The motto of the state I live in now is "To Be, Rather Than To Seem". Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I like Alabama's. We dare defend our rights. Kansas- To the stars through difficulty. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Love it! Our state motto is simply Friendship, and that describes us pretty well. I think at least one of my boys thinks our motto is Don't Mess with Texas lol. It is along all highways here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yeah, Remudamom, but Alabama's should really be. . . We dare defend our rights. . . to COLLEGE FOOTBALL! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I had to look up our motto after reading this. How disappointing and boring. From sea to sea, isn't exactly inspiring. Sounds like something out of a bad mushy novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I really like that. That should be our state's motto. Instead it's "tax 'em more". I had to look up California's state motto which is "Eureka" but it does seems to be "tax 'em more" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
