Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a
conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them, you "PITCH" them.
_____
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip
greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess." _____
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general
direction of "yonder."
_____
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is, . as in:
"Going to town, be back directly." _____
Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request
for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl
in the middle of the table.
_____
All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not
use the term, but they know the concept well. _____
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of
solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken,a
ham,greenbeens and a big bowl of potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble
is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin!
_____
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right
near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the
road" can be 1 mile or 20. _____
Only a Southerner, both knows and understands, the difference
between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.
_____
No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing
turn signal is actually going to make a turn. _____
A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a noun, a verb, or
an adverb.
_____
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, ... and when
we're "in line," . we talk to everybody!
_____
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover
they're related, even if only by marriage. _____
In the South, y'all is singular, all y'all is plural.
_____
Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
_____
Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee
are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and
that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food. _____
When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin,'" you
know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
_____
Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet
tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea
unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk. _____
And a true Southern lady knows you don't scream obscenities at all
and you better not do it to a little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the
freeway. You just say,"Bless her heart" ... and go your own way.
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your
Southerness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call
me in the morning. Bless your heart! _____
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding
all this Southern stuff, ... bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to
have classes on Southernness as a second language! _____
And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a
long time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'alls front porch that reads
"I ain't from the South, but I got here as fast as I could."
Southern girls know men may come and go,but friends are fahevah !
If you're a Northern transplant, Bless your little heart, fake it.
We know you got here as fast as you could.
