I can't think of any good ones, I feel like the South has all the cool culture and folklore stuff 
but uhh we don't say "happy birthday" before someone's birthday, only on or after the day, and our trains are always late. We also pretend like certain cities or federal states don't exist

•I've learned specifically in my household, we really love to use idioms, phrases that mean something else. Here's one, "you have the cart before the horse!" Which means you're jumping ahead skipping steps that are important, simply doing things out of order

We butcher pigs, cook it's innards and stuff it back in it's skin with rice...
Got years of trauma listening to the painful cries of those pigs

•There's a kind of lettuce shaped glass salad bowl that pretty much every household has~

•The people in my religion made wedding rings from nails because they/we were poor. (Summary from dad to kid me)
Other than religious culture, lefse. If I remember anything else in the morning I'll let you know

We make a batch of sourdough starter and give some to our friends so they can make bread as well. They have to grow the batch and keep it alive, then give some of theirs to their friends. We call it 'friendship bread'.

•In my culture: Do not wear green hat. That means your girl/boyfriend or spouse is cheating on you

For the place I was born-it’s dirty! Like really dirty. I always tell tourists to not visit the Hollywood star walk of fame cuz it sucks
For the place I grew up- there used to be a giant statue of the national animal, the merlion. You could walk around and take a tour of Singapore’s cultural history. You got a token at the end to win a prize (I always got fans). Also people carry umbrellas when it’s sunny out to avoid sunburn
For where I live now- uh there’s not really much frankly, it’s a planned city and awful, the suburbs are slowly killing me. But it used to be a large horse ranch, turned giant orange groves, now it’s the most boring city in America or at least a contender for one

Well, since it’s summer… Kupala Night is widely celebrated still! I don’t know how it is for religious folk, but for us sinners it’s more of a reason to take a small vacation to a lake or a river (or at the very least play with water guns outside). Kids and random jerks can drench you without consent though but oh well
