Can you do it in conversation? I have to stop and consciously put my tongue in the right place. 
Both, but it’s a ridiculous distinction anyway. There is almost no difference between a small town in NC and a small town in SC. Ditto TN and GA.
I’ve never seen chicken and waffles except on travel/cooking shows on TV and it’s always places in California that are featured.
You’re the expert.
Labrador, NL is Deep North.
Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles (Los Angeles) popularized the food, for sure. I’ve heard of southern origins, but wonder if that’s just because both fall under the soul food category.
I have not know waffles to be popular, even for breakfast.
Have you ever been to Waffle House?
No, it doesn’t bother me at all. The schools themselves didn’t operate under any particular religious doctrine other than having generic Christmas displays and prayer (or a moment of silence) before major events. It was just some individual people that did. There were prayer and Bible study groups before school or during lunch for anyone wanted to attend but I think those should be allowed anywhere under Freedom of Assembly. There was a big enough split between the Fundamentalists and everyone else so that it wasn’t as unified as it sounds. Even people of the same technical faith didn’t always agree on much. That is why you will often see two or more Southern Baptist or fundamentalist churches next door to each other in the Deep South. The congregations split because of a schism at some point.
I am still a church-going agnostic and not an atheist (I personally don’t respect vocal atheists in general even today) so I never had a problem with the way religion was handled in public where I grew up. I suppose we could have been forced to make allowances for hypothetical Muslim or strong atheist students but it simply never came up so it is rather pointless to theorize about.
Dear G-d, no.
It stinks of pancakes, the odor makes me ill.
Obviously I was there once to smell the reek.
Read the first sentence of the op’s post while i look for a geography book to beat you over the head with.
I don’t recall anyone ever using “the southern United States” to include Hawaii. Incidentally, I don’t like being threatened with beating.
Around 1959 or so, hawaii became a state, if thats what you’re missing. If you can spell “map,” you’ll see that it is fairly south, i beleive only part of Florida is further south. Maybe you should talk to different people?
No, no part of Florida is farther south than anywhere in Hawaii. Hawaii is solely in the tropics, while the southernmost point of Florida is still outside the tropics.
Okay, the eight main islands are solely in the tropics. There are hundreds of uninhabited islands stretching across 1500 miles, and some of those may be farther north than southern Florida.
This gives the usual definition of “the southern United States.” Note that it doesn’t include Hawaii:
And quit making insinuations that I’m too stupid to use a map. Of course I know the relative positions of the states on a map. That’s not the question.
The West Coast should stop calling itself the West Coast while the west coast of Guam exists. Canada can’t be the Great White North as parts of Canada are south of the US. The Northern Mariana Islands are south of the CONUS. Let’s all be over-literal in everything.
Do you ever leave your house?
Only when I must.
That sounds like a likely point of origin. Thanks for the info.
Although…the information in the chicken and waffles entry on Wikipedia suggests the combo might have originated in Harlem in the 1930s:
