STNothing sparks a more heated debate in the United States than the definitive boundaries of "The South," and this hilarious map from a self-proclaimed Alabamian is here to settle the score with some signature gatekeeping. The illustration divides the region with brutal, humorous honesty, carving out a red-bordered "Deep South" core that includes Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina. Meanwhile, Texas is dismissed as a confusing land of "cowboys or something," and Florida is chopped in half, relegating the southern peninsula to "just alligators." Even New Orleans gets its own purple bubble labeled "Good food but not the south." It is a classic example of regional identity where cultural nuances—like where the tea is sweetest and the "y'alls" are most frequent—trump official geography. Whether you agree or find yourself "excluded" from the club, this map perfectly captures the pride and playful territorialism of Southern culture.
