Lived in the South myself for 4 years....
Instead of "turning" the tv on or off....it's "cutting" it on or off...
Instead of "pushing" down the pedal or the button....
It's "mashin'" it down....
Grits rule....Piggly Wiggly.....Lizard's Thicket....Waffle House...sweet tea

My favorite is still "mama'em".
Usage: "Who's coming over for supper tonight?" "Oh, just Mama'em"
(Translation - mother and family )
Southern bashing?! Who's Southern Bashing?
lol
Can't nobody bash us Southerners except US!
Learnt is a word. So is "ain't", "fixinto" and "gonna". Along with many others. "etyet" is another great Southern word. For example, when folks come over to the house you always say, "Ya'll look hungry. Etyet?"
It's like a whole 'nother world down here. However, I have never REPEAT never humped a cousin. lol Although I do have one that is really HOT! Love her! -

Timm - you are so funny! Just for the record my "pond" in vinyl!
And we in the South are very hospitable. We just let anyone in. We have a saying in my family "Ain't never been a stranger in this house. Been some strange people, but no strangers."
Ya'll come back now, y'here! -

You do know that "Bless your heart" is NOT a compliment, right?

As in, "Bless his heart, but his elevator don't go all the way to the top". -

My favorite, though, Slick, comes from Lewis Grizzard:
"We may talk funny, but we ain't no Southerner ever paid $5.00 a head to watch 'Lucky Joe' wrestle an alligator, which was nothing but a dog painted green."
Timm ... if you want to know how a true Southerner thinks, speaks, and acts, go get a few books and CD's by the late, great Lewis Grizzard. -

THE great Southern humorist. He was so great. I have several of his books that I need to re-read.
Lewis Grizzard was so funny. Erma Bombeck is another good one. -

I had an experience. Remember now my wife grew up in the country so she knows all of the slang. We were at her parents house .."way out in the country" One of the neighbor ladies had come to the door, She wanted to know if she could borrow some''ASS""I SAID WHAT! SHE said do you have some 'ASS'
SO I know i looked puzzled,I said hold on a min...Honey the neighbor wants some "ASS" She said what! So she came to the door and asked her, she looked at me and said NO SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF WE HAVE ICE..She needed some ice.So i felt about 1inch tall,but it sounded like ass to me in the END we all LAUGHED TOGETHER
