Southernisms
"She fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down."
"She's so stuck up she'd drown in a rainstorm."
"It's so dry, the trees are bribing the dogs."
"My cow died last night, so I don't need your bull."
"He's as country as cornflakes. "
"Sugar-coat criticsm by prefacing it with, "Well, bless her heart"..."
"Advice for Northerners moving to the South: Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed on how to use it shortly."
"Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean Southerners can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows."
"If you DO run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four-wheel pick-up with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way.
This is what they live for!"
"You can ask Southerners for directions, but unless you already know the positions of key hills, trees and rocks, you're better off trying to find it yourself."
"Remember: 'Y'all' is singular, 'All y'all' is plural, and 'All y'all's' is plural possessive."
"Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?" Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you either."
"The first Southern expression to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective 'big ol' , as in 'big ol' truck,' or 'big ol' boy'. 'Fixin' (as in "I'm fixin' to go to the store") is 2nd, and 'Y'all' is 3rd."
"As you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone directly in the middle of the road, remember: ALL Southern folks learned to drive on a John Deere tractor, and this is the proper speed and lane position for that vehicle."
"Most Southerners do not use turn signals; they ignore those who do. In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a Southern license plate, you may rest assured that it was already turned on when the car was purchased."
"If it can't be fried in bacon grease, it ain't worth cooking - let alone eating!"
"Satellite dishes are very popular in the South. When you purchase one, it is positioned directly in front of the house. This is logical, bearing in mind that the dish cost considerably more than the house and should, therefore, be prominently displayed."
"One last warning but probably the most important one to remember: Be advised that in the South, "He needed killin'" IS a valid defense!"
