North East? South? Midwest? Something else?
Chef! Don’t put your dick in that… – Kentucky/Tennessee
The middle-east, where all the religious fanatics come from, a theocratic state.
South of Ohio and north of Tennessee? I think. I lived in Louisville for 5 months, which was fairly strange. A high school girlfriend moved from New England to hickledicklefuck eastern Kentucky and somehow got a southern accent and became a fascist Christian in about 6 months. The church she was in, though, split off from the main one in town over a dispute about speaking in tongues and snake handling.
Great question. A lot of government agencies consider Kentucky as part of the southeast, but I would say that culturally Kentucky falls squarely into Appalachia, along with West Virginia, Tennessee, western NC, southwestern Virginia, and southern Ohio. I would also say that Kentucky has a pretty wide metro/rural split, with Lexington and Berea being very different places.
This is basically how I think of it. I know states aren’t one thing, all the way through, but I categorize Kentucky with TN, NC, and WV. There are parts of OH that are basically KY, and NC gets much different further east, but generally, it makes sense. Definitely not midwest. Clearly not Southeast, despite UK being in the SEC.
It could be worse. At least UK is kinda in the Southeastern direction. The Big 10 has 16 schools now…
It’s also not on the Atlantic coast despite Louisville being in the ACC.

Pretty close. It’s about in the middle, but to the east of the center of the country. Culturally though it is part of “the south”.
I was with you until the last sentence.
Well, welcome to eastern Kentucky. I went to visit her and we went to church in a pastor’s living room and she explained that was what happened. A group of 15-20 people split off from the main church in town because the main church had started doing speaking in tongues and snake handling, which is considered legitimate among some Christians.
Smack dab in the middle of the perineum.
Midwest 🤷? It’s somewhere in the middle though, right? European, so don’t really know the US map in detail.
I think most Americans would completely fail labeling a map of Europe and many would struggle with a US map.
Oh I’m good with a European map, could also point to locations and names of capitals as well.

As far as I know: It’s
considered midwest even though it’s not geographically in the middle or the west.AppalachianTechnically the Midwest is called that because it was formed from the Midwest Territory in the early 1800’s. Also, Kentucky isn’t midwest because it was never part of the Midwest Territory. It’s Appalachian
TIL, thanks!
Upper South.
Although it’s a trick question of sorts. Eastern Kentucky, the Golden Triangle, and the Purchase might not all be in the same region of the US.
Appalachia really is its own region and that should be more widely acknowledged. Kentucky is in Appalachia.
