There are certain things that only Georgians understand, which makes it a bit tricky to have to explain to an out-of-towner. So, we wanted to set the record straight for all those inquiring about Georgian intricacies. Consider tagging your out-of-town friends so that they know what this state really is about. Here are 12 things Georgians constantly have to explain to out-of-towners.

No, we're not all sitting back ingesting butter in our recliner chairs. Georgians like to get out and explore! Our hiking trails rule and our scenery is like nothing else in the country.
5. It doesn’t matter if our team is losing, we’ll still cheer them on.
Hey, out-of-towner. You may think you need to head south for some killer ocean views and clean, white sand, but you're misinformed. Georgia has all that and more.
12. If it starts snowing, you better RUN to your grocery store and stock up before you starve to death.
