Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissy 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 of."

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 and a big bowl of cold 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. We don't do "queues," we do "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.

Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them. (NOT THIS SOUTHENER....YUK!!!) lol

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.

A true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. (OH YES I DO!!! LOL) You just say, "Bless her heart" and go your own way. ( I always heard "bless your heart" was a southern girls way of saying "fuck you") lol

To those of you who're 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!

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! For those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long time, y'all need a sign to hang on y'alls front porch that reads "I aint from the South but I got here as fast as I could."

Bless your hearts, y'all have a good day now, ya hear!

ROFLMAO

My "Dictionary for Yankees, and other uneducated people" :D

along these lines, i get funny looks when i say "fixin" as in "i'm fixin to go to the store" or "i'm fixin to watch the game" apparently it's a Texas thing. do any other areas use that word? it just seems natural to me, but on more than one occasion i have been asked to reapeat myself

Well I reckon so, LOL!

When I moved from VA to TN....It took me a couple of weeks to adjust to the accent, and I only moved 2 1/2 hours away!!! But you've got to love it! The nicest people in the world live in TN! And they won't even hesitate to tell you their entire life story the VERY first time you meet them!!! I just smile and nod.

So don’t forget your chair and dictionary.

We say that we are fixin the broken window, or fixin the frayed cable.
