Every single state in the US has its very own motto. I mean, New York’s state motto is “Excelsior,” and “Eureka!” speaks of California. But what if we try calling the states by their very real names? After all, these do indeed sound a little outdated.
So when someone on r/AskReddit posted a question “If the US States had honest slogans, what would some of them be?” the level of hilarity reached up to the max, and we have some of the most painfully accurate suggestions down below.
We do suspect these will not be approved by the governors any time soon, but hey, we all secretly know that the “You can’t afford to live here” motto for California would fit way better. No empty promises, no understatement, simply facts.
