What is missouri?

The Show-Me State. A state that doesn’t know if it’s Southern or Midwestern. Its 6 million residents are divided in geography, accent and culture. Northern Missouri is flat and similar to the rest of the Midwest while southern Missouri is hilly and in the Ozark region. Ironically, America’s new unofficial country music capital is Branson, near the Arkansas border. People from northern Missouri are considered more Midwestern while Southern Missouri is more Southern. Missouri is the place where North America’s two great rivers meet: The Mississippi and Missouri, near Saint Louis. Kansas City is the largest city but St. Louis is the largest metro area. Ironically both metro areas cross state boundaries. Kansas City is known as a great center of jazz music and barbeque while St. Louis is a major center for the production of beer (Anheiser Bush) and has the Gateway Arch. What’s ironic is that beer and barbeque go together like sex and nicotine. However, both cities are extremely crime-ridden by many comparisons. Some natives include Jessie James, Harry Truman, Walt Disney and Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain).

Missouri is a nice, quaint state but has somewhat of an identity crisis.

Missouri - what is it?

The Show-Me State. The northern half of the state tends to be flat and fits in culturally with the Midwest. Northern Missourians say "Miz-zur-ree". The southern half of the state is defined by the Ozark Mountains and tends to identify with the South, rather than the Midwest. Southern Missourians say "Mizz-zur-rah" keeping in tradition with the original French pronunciation of the Indian word that was used as the basis for the state's name. Southern Missourians in the Ozarks tend to speak iwith an accent similiar to Tennessee.

Home to President Harry S. Truman, Walt Disney, and famed Generals John "Black Jack" Pershing and Omar Bradley.

Abe: "I can run faster than that black bear coming towards us."

Paul: "Oh yeah? I'm from Missouri - show me."

Missouri - definition

Misery. Seriously sound it out, Miss-or-ee. It relates to the state Missouri because it is in the middle of fucking no where. It has no beaches. People don't know if its in the fucking south or mid-west because they act hickish but they aren't south.

I'm pretty much in misery living in Missouri. PS. I'm not trying to offend a lot of ppl. I just don't like that state but that doesn't mean my opinon matters. Make up your own and go there.

Missouri

A foul state. It's so horrible; it's full or rednecks and really ghetto people. The state is full of ugly dilapidated cities and people who keep framed picture of George W. Bush on their mantle and pray to the lord and savior Jesus Christ (amen) every night before their dinner of bar-b-qued ham and crystal meth.

The state was partially responsible for starting the civil war (despite what you might hear from the south) so basically they were posers before the word poser came into wide use. They were little toy soldiers fighting hard to for slavery and the South even though they lived in the Midwest so they could sit at what they thought was the cool kids lunch table.

I was in St. Louis yesterday and I was surrounded by gang members, I had to get out of there....so I hot-tailed it to Kansas. As I drove there I could actually feel the red neck aura of Mizzu-ruh radiating outward and trying to penetrate my clean, sensible Nebraskan body. Missouri sucks so bad I actually had to go to Kansas to escape. That should tell you something.

Missouri

topographically, the state is half in the midwest and half in the great plains; the most southern part of the state is in the ozarks and is home of are those shows in Branson; the western part of the state has KC and a lot of flat land and farmers, while the eastern part has St. Louis, good blues music, and rolling hills

Missouri looks like Illinois on 1 side and like Nebraska on the other.
