As a native Texan, I approve this list of "8 Expression's You'll Hear in Texas," except I would have added included "finna" next to "fixin' to." I definitely used "finna" way more. And, yes, every soft drink is still a Coke.

"The idea that we would, with an executive order, with the signing of a pen, roll back something that we fought a civil war over seems highly unlikely."
