I've heard it said that New Englanders are kind but not nice, while Southerners are nice but not kind.

I also think a lot of it has to do with climate - Southerners don't know that winter is coming (winter is always coming) and even if you hate the guy next door you help him out because you never know when you might need the same.

"Fuck outta here" is just a term of endearment when riding the subway and you've got to deal with someone's shenanigans. 👍🏻

Native Mainer here. I lived in Georgia for ten years. I found southerners to be friendly, but neither nice or kind.
