How does everyone see Texas?

[Ȃ̷̛́͌̚͝r̵c̸̛̒͐̅̇]

So I'm a person who lives in the Cascadia region of the United States and wondering how do people see Texas in their minds (Only people who live outside of Texas and everyone international)

Heard Texas is gaining population and intense heat over there.

Texas did not submit to the wishes of Global Elite, and now residents started to feel much more freedom there. I hope every other state and country will follow the stance and turn the table against the Corrupt powerholders who has been in the World Scene since 1770s.

New Zealand was the first one to repel those families' and Texas (as a state) follows in the same norm.

I find this very odd.. maybe its becuase people only think about how it was before the English.. sorry I mean American´s stole it.

They got like ~10 states that were part of Mexico before, that was a pretty good deal for them

I don't tend to think about Texas much, other than when they start rattling their sabers & talking about seceding. Then I be like Jim Kirk in JJ Abrams Star Trek yelling "DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!" but they never do.

Other than that, Cancun Ted. But you could see he was a snake oil salesman just by looking in his beady little eyes.

Here in Norway we have the common expression used in daily conversation and in news headlines , that something is/or was "Helt Texas !" (completely Texas !)

Just google "Helt Texas" and see for yourself.

The expression has been used since ww2 maybe even longer.

It means that something has been chaotically wild "way out of order".

Connotations for "Helt Texas" are as follows:

Chaos
Crazy
Mayhem
Wild
Destruction
Loud
Noise
Unhinged
Riot
Dangerous
etc.


Edit:

If someone asks "How was your workday", it is also common to answer "Helt Texas !".

Other examples:

- "How was the Party? - "Helt Texas !"

- "I'm not looking forward to working the shift on Black Friday. Last year it was Helt Texas!".

- "What happened at that bar downtown last Saturday? I heard there was a lot of property damage and people got hurt?"
"Oh that.. well everything went Helt Texas !"

Edit 2:

The expression might be from year 1957 actually.

This is actually pretty cool! Now that you mention it I feel like I have heard this before but thought I misheard it or didnt understand what it meant.

I think

- Tigers
- Hot girls with stinky feet (from wearing exclusively cowgirl boots)
- Mustangs (the car)
- Guns
- Big houses that cost a fraction of what they do anywhere else in the US
- BBQ

If you look into a mirror and say Austin three times you can stare into Texas, but then Texas stares back into your soul.

Actually I used to think Texas was some backwoods place with strange customs... but then a lot of escaping Californians moved there so its probably almost the same now. (And that makes Texas worse)

"Waco Waco Waco !"

Very funny.

I don't, it's too far.

I'm a Texan, so I see it from up close.

Yes it's hot. But not as bad as you think.
It's really nice in the fall, and winter.
Muggy in the spring.But lots of beautiful wild flowers. ( thank you, Ladybird )

No state income taxes. But property taxes can be high in well off neighborhoods.

The music is great.

The food is fantastic.
We didn't have to steal the food from Mexicans.
Do you have any idea how many Texans have Mexican heritage.
It's TexMex food. We're good.

Football. Yep.

Hats. Boots. Trucks. Yep.

A sense of independence, and not following California's insanity.
Heck yeah!
But I wish they would stop coming here.

And;
King of the Hill is a documentary.
I tell you what.
( Really it's accurate )

Yeehaw!

I sometimes forget Texas exists ngl

Tarantulas are the most common soft object in the Texas wilderness.

If you have to poo in the wild, there's lots of TP on eight legs.

This was told to me by a long, tall black Texas cowboy friend of mine in MI. I told him there was something wrong with him. He laughed and agreed.
