for introducing me to the term "Bless your heart".


In honor of "Y'all":

Shit Southern Women Say



Hillwilliam -> RE: I'd like to thank the Southern Ladies here... (8/12/2013 3:53:55 PM)

Southern men say those things as well.



Spiritedsub2 -> RE: I'd like to thank the Southern Ladies here... (8/12/2013 3:57:10 PM)

"Is my hair too big?"
Too funny! Bless your heart for the thread.

Edit: do southern men ask if their hair is too big?!



LadyPact -> RE: I'd like to thank the Southern Ladies here... (8/12/2013 4:04:56 PM)

Thank you for sharing. Had they added one expression about grits, I'd have thought I was back in GA.

You have obviously never seen some of the mullet boys or Elvis impersonators.

Sometimes but both sexes know that ' the higher the hair, the closer
to Jesus'.

I am dying over here. That was like being back home. Whoa.



Level -> RE: I'd like to thank the Southern Ladies here... (8/12/2013 8:20:09 PM)

y'all know us southerners don't talk like that.

It's Elvis week on Memphis now..I can just see the hair there.

If any of you wonder how I sound...this video will tell you. I have said damn near EVERY one of those sayings!

36 years ago this week, Elvis died and I lost my virginity within hours of each other.[8D]



Winterapple -> RE: I'd like to thank the Southern Ladies here... (8/12/2013 9:15:22 PM)

The annual pilgrimage to Graceland aka The Redneck Mecca.[8D]



Winterapple -> RE: I'd like to thank the Southern Ladies here... (8/12/2013 9:18:51 PM)

I love the flowers and things the fans bring and
send during Elvis Week. I remember one year there
was a wreath with a telephone in the center of it
The banner read "Jesus called."



TheHeretic -> RE: I'd like to thank the Southern Ladies here... (8/12/2013 9:50:59 PM)

How nice!

This is kinda scary. I'm starting to sound like all y'all. ;)

Nothin wrong with that. :)

My 8 yr. old niece from Illinois once asked whence the term "ya'll," (bless her heart), whereupon I had to explain that it was for purpose of making distinction between whether the speaker was addressing an individual (you) as opposed to two or more people (ya'll), when more than one is in the room.

This seems to be a major point of flummoxation for some. In any case, her GA-born mom had moved from that state at age 5, and so was not up to the task. Uncle-who-still-lives-here had to explain it.

The German language also accounts for this, with noticeably less consternation, in the familiar second person plural (ihr ->"ya'll," vs. "du" for the familiar singular second person) though not in the formal, for the same case (Sie -> "you," for both single and plural).

Bless everybody's heart.
