1. Drink coffee, not once,twice or thrice....but at least 5 times...a day, and maybe in the night also
Also learn to 'stretch' ur coffee (see pic)
2. Wear a shirt...yes a shirt, not a fancy designer t-shirt, but a shirt, whether u r going to work or play or just drifting
3. And never wear shorts....outside the house
4. Learn to say .."Chumma".....just like u know, chumma!
5. If u have a motorbike(guys this is important), have ur license plate shaped like a batman logo(in white) and make sure u have a tank cover whether u r sporting a Splendor or Yamaha Y15
Bonus points if u can drive with 2 passengers ( in triple or "three-bul" as we call it back home)
6. If u happen to own a car, the backing sound should be one of these-
a) Airtel ringtone
b) Latest AR Rahman hit
c) Snehithane (Hindi version Chupke Se)
7. End all sentences with a "da"...You see da, Come here da, Eat da, Sleep da, "Enna da"
8. Play volleyball; girls...play throwball
9. Wear pretty embroidered pants....guys
10. Most importantly, enjoy dosa and idly as a meal
However the true becoming of a southie will be marked by ur pronouncing the alphabet H as "HEICH"
Now you have become a true "Madraasi"
Other suggestions welcome

1) during a conversation, after every english sentence, add "it seems" whether it may sound appropriate or not.. e.g. its raining it seems, im going to church it seems, the more inappropriate, the better :)
2) Another very common sentence "i cant able to understand!"
3) Always add "aaaaaaaa" if u want to ask a question in a more tamil way, "vellore pollammmaaaaaaaa? aammmaaaaaa..."
"going aaaaaaaa?
"hungry aaaaaaa?
NANDRI! :)

@mimi - it seems u have learnt a lot at Pacchaiyappas, it seems
@lal - ah yes the famous South Indian head nod..confusing indeed, and of course u shud know when the latest Rajni's movie is coming up
@aduhi - slightly over-generalization there i guess, but keen observation, especially fashion sense and curd rice issue
1. food without spices?, never even think of south indian food...
2. lunghi's and dhothies's....south indian FREE wear(hope u kno what i mean)
3.BIRIYANI!!!! the king of all food, can't imagine a festival or a function without it....
I'm not really sure how to feel like a south indian folk. Taking the first point into consideration, you can consider me a south Indian Super Mega Star..:)
@runal & EPISTEMOLOGY - and the rest of the other valued contributers, one point stood out....You are what you eat (&drink), lets have a toast to that (coffee of course or kaaaaffee)
I always get amazed by terms 'pre-poned' and 'gifted' !!!!
How creative lols
@apatea - indeed, the correct acceptable word is 'advanced' for preponed eg:The examinations are advanced (I looked it up :-)
However, gifted is a proper eEnglish word, but nevertheless abused in its usage (as many others)
There are very many words which i cannot able to understand.
Hahaha! This has wakened the 'South Indian' in me! Oh for those old days!
1. Sir is calling you
2. Wat?
1. Sir is calling you..
2. enna di?? what you are saying?

And they all laughed at 1 for wrong accent!
