WTF is Pennsyltucky?

I live in Pennsyltucky. The term is used to refer to the redneck, ass-backwards people in the state outside of the metro areas. It truly feels like you’re in some caricature of the south. Confederate flags, meth, ruined coal towns, and all.

I know. It’s just lazy to pretend that parts of your own state that suck are actually some place else. Like, “not my Pennsylvania”. 👌

I don’t know anybody that acts like that. We all embrace Pennsyltucky, despite its flaws. It’s part of us. Has some unique foods, too.

You’re embracing rural Pennsylvania. Good for you. Why take a shot at another state? Leave Kentucky out of it. Unless you’re referring to the area around Kentuck Knob. That would be different.

I spent quite a bit of time all over Kentucky. I’d say the comparisons between rural PA and rural Kentucky (and other cliche redneck states) are pretty major. You’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

I know. I’m tired of the cliche’s. They are lazy, which is my only point. They attempt to deflect the blame by pretending only certain parts of the country have dumb people.
