Posted: 1/17/2007 9:09:43 AM | True Southerners know instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. (If the trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'.)
True Southerners make friends standing in lines. We don't do "queues," we do "lines." And when we're in line, we talk to everybody.

True Southerners make friends standing in lines ...........my nephew was visiting from Fla. and he went with me to the store. Well I struck up a conversation with someone in the store, we talked about 10 min.; after we walked away he asked me who that was and I told him I had not a clue. He could not believe I talked to a total stranger for that long. You should have seen the look on his face, LOL.

| Southern Quotes and Phrases
Posted: 2/17/2007 2:46:06 PM | I received this in an e-mail from my Southern Monsignor Uncle....
Someone once noted that a Southerner can get away with the most awful
kind of insult just as long as it's prefaced with the words, "Bless
her heart" or "Bless his heart." As in, "Bless his heart, if they
put his brain on the head of a pin, it'd roll around like a BB on a
6-lane highway."
I was thinking about this the other day when a friend was telling
about her new transplanted northern friend who was upset because her
toddler is just beginning to talk and he has a “southern accent”. My
friend, who is very kind and, bless her heart, cannot do a thing
about those thighs of hers, was justifiably miffed about this. After
all, this woman had CHOSEN to move to the South a couple of years
ago.
"Can you believe it?" said her friend, "A child of mine is going to
be "taaaallllkkin liiiike thiiiissss."
Now, don't get me wrong. Some of my dearest friends are from the
North, bless their hearts. I welcome their perspective, their
friendships and their recipes for authentic Northern Italian food.
I've even gotten past their endless complaints that you can't find
good bread down here. And the heathens, bless their hearts, don't
like cornbread!
We've already lost too much. I was raised to say "swayya," not
swear, but you hardly ever hear anyone say that anymore, I swayya you
don't. And I've caught myself thinking twice before saying something
is "right much," "right close," or "right good" because non-natives
think this is right funny indeed.
I have a friend from Bawston, bless her heart, who thinks it's
hilarious when I say I've got to "carry" my daughter to the doctor or
"cut off" the light. She also gets a giggle every time I am "fixin"
to do something. And, bless their hearts, they don't even know where
"over yonder" is, or what "I reckon" means!
My personal favorite was my aunt, who said, "Bless her heart, she
can't help being ugly, but she could've stayed home."
Just because your children were born in the South does not make them
Southerners. After all, if a cat had kittens in the oven, that
wouldn't make them biscuits.
Southern girls know bad manners when they see them:
1. Drinking straight out of a can.
2. Velvet after February.
3. White shoes before Memorial Day or after Labor Day.
Southern girls always say:
1. "Yes, ma'am."
2. "Yes, sir."
Southern girls have a distinct way with fond expressions:
1. "Y'all come back now, ya heaah."
2. "Well, bless your heart."
3. "Drop by when you can."
4. "How's your mama?"
5. "Love your hair."
Southern girls know everybody's first name:
1. Honey
2. Darlin'
3. Shugah
Southern girls know the movies that speak to their hearts:
1. "Gone With the Wind"
2. "Fried Green Tomatoes"
3. "Driving Miss Daisy"
4. "Steel Magnolias"
Southern girls know their cities dripping with Southern charm:
1. Hotlanta or Adlanna (Atlanta as outsiders say)
2. Richmon
3. Challston
4. S'vannah
5. Birminham
6. Nawlins'
7. Oh! and that city in Alabama? It's pronounced MUNTGUMRY!
Southern girls know the three deadly sins:
1. Bad hair
2. Bad manners
3. Bad blind dates | |

Posted: 2/17/2007 3:00:35 PM | Good post, Teag! It does grate on my nerves when I hear a Yankee constantly complaining about the South, and Southern culture. Hell, if it's that bad down here, I-75, I-85, and I-95 aren't just one-way highways! They've got lanes that'll take them right back up north! LOL!
Having said that, I have met plenty of transplanted Yankees that are nice, friendly people, even if they do say funny stuff.
