In Paris?

For the past couple days or so, my Parisian/French friends and I have been playing "tag yourself: which Paris cliché are you?" and other things on the same "could this GET any more cliché" vein about the "Emily In Paris" trailer. And gritting our teeth at the sheer US-ness of it all

And we're not the only ones.

It got dragged by fucking Netflix france!


(If Emily had come to your city and not "in Paris", what would be the big clichés of the show?)

Anyway, I am very interested in knowing how "Emily in [your location/subculture/etc]" would be like. Pleas entertain me.

Swamps
Porches
Snakes
Deer hunting
Raccoon hunting
Turkey hunting
Hunting lodges
Church on every corner
Magnolia trees as far as the eye can see
Spanish moss hanging from every tree
Barbecue... well, on everything and everyone has a big one on wheels made out of an old gas tank
Everyone is carrying a gun or a shotgun AND a bible at all times
Everyone is wearing a baseball cap with a trucking logo or a bad taste joke on it
Men all called 'Bubba'
Everyone has visible sweat stains
Women all have Big Hair and dress like they're in Gone with the Wind with shorter dresses

Actually, a friend of one of MG's cousins catches snakes for zoos. :D
