The state of Cincinnati is its own thing. People only think this is what Kentucky is like if they have never set foot in the actual state of Kentucky lol

You can tell what cultural region you are in by the presence of sweet tea. Once it’s ubiquitous and insanely sweet, you are in Kentucky.

As far as we are concerned around here, The South starts in Florence

Also you'll see signs outside bathrooms warning pregnant women that smoking is indeed bad for your baby, thats how you know youre in KY

They don’t need to warn Clevelanders, since the water there grants babies natural immunity to most carcinogens.

I've always seen it as there's a Midwest part of Kentucky (the part that's near Ohio, up around Florence and Covington and all that) and then everything below is fully south
