Here are some "Southernisms" that you might enjoy. Sorry if this goes over the heads of any of you northerners.

TWENTY SPECIAL 'SOUTHERNISMS'

1. Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and
a conniption and that you don't "HAVE" them, -- you "PITCH" them.

2. Only a true Southerner knows how much any fish, collard greens,
turnip greens, peas, beans, etc. make up "a mess" (as in "a mess" of
greens).

3. Only a true Southerner can show or point out to you the general
direction of "yonder."

4. Only a true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in:
"Going to town, be back directly. (generally pronounced dreckly)

5. All true Southerners, even babies, know that "Gimme some sugar" is
not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a
pretty little bowl on the middle of the table.

6. All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not
use the term, but they know the concept well.

7. Only a true 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')

8. Only true Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right
near" and "a right far (pronounced "fur")piece." They also know that
"just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.

9. Only a true Southerner both knows and understands the difference
between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.

10. No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing
turn signal is actually going to make a turn.

11. A true Southerner knows that "fixin'" can be used as a noun, a verb,
or an adverb. (As in, I was fixin to go over to BettyLou's. Or, we had
a huge Christmas dinner with all the fixins. Or Are you fixin my car next?)

12. Only a true Southerner knows that the term "booger" can be a
resident of the nose, a descriptive, as in "that ol' booger," a first
name, or something that jumps out at you in the dark and scares you
senseless.

13. Only true Southerners make friends while standing in lines. We don't
do "queues", we do "lines," and when we're IN, not ON, line we talk to
everybody!

14. Put 100 true Southerners in a room and half of them will discover
they're related, even if only by marriage.

15. True Southerners never refer to only one person as "y'all"...more
than three is way more than one, it's "all y'all".
16. True Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.

17. Every true Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and
coffee are perfectly wonderful; that redeye gravy is also a breakfast
food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food. We
recognize milk gravy when we see it, know what to do with it and wonder
what the heck you other people eat on your biscuits.

18. When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know
you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!

19. Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea
indicates it contains sugar and lots of it - we do not like our tea
unsweetened . "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk

20. And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little
old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, "Bless her
heart" and go your own way.
