Chef! Don't put your dick in that... – Kentucky/Tennessee
Damnit. Was thinking of that as well, but in my head he was the other way around so I thought Kentucky would be in the middle instead of the east.
Great question. A lot of government agencies consider Kentucky as part of the southeast, but I would say that culturally Kentucky falls squarely into Appalachia, along with West Virginia, Tennessee, western NC, southwestern Virginia, and southern Ohio. I would also say that Kentucky has a pretty wide metro/rural split, with Lexington and Berea being very different places.
This is basically how I think of it. I know states aren't one thing, all the way through, but I categorize Kentucky with TN, NC, and WV. There are parts of OH that are basically KY, and NC gets much different further east, but generally, it makes sense. Definitely not midwest. Clearly not Southeast, despite UK being in the SEC.
It could be worse. At least UK is kinda in the Southeastern direction. The Big 10 has 16 schools now...
It's also not on the Atlantic coast despite Louisville being in the ACC.
The middle-east, where all the religious fanatics come from, a theocratic state.
Appalachia really is its own region and that should be more widely acknowledged. Kentucky is in Appalachia.
Midwesterners will say it's the South, Southerners will say it's the Midwest. Like a geographical game of hot potato.
North West South East
The region of fried chicken.
Before playing Statele, I would have told you it was in the deep south, and on the Atlantic coast. I'm continually surprised both by how far north it is, and how not Tennessee it is.
South East.
Somewhere to the right.
I'm in California tho. Everything except Alaska and Hawaii is to the right.
Middle East
Kentucky is the North South.
Southern Appalachia
Southeast.
It's somewhere where they grow a lot of chicken.
I mixed up Kentucky and Kansas
You monster!
Smack dab in the middle of the perineum.
Bible Belt, yeah? Definitely not Midwest or South.
Midwest 🤷? It's somewhere in the middle though, right? European, so don't really know the US map in detail.
I think most Americans would completely fail labeling a map of Europe and many would struggle with a US map.
Oh I'm good with a European map, could also point to locations and names of capitals as well.
It is considered the southeast region.
