Yay! You put the granny woman on there... can't forget her, bless her soul ;)
ReplyDeleteJust so ya'll know alot of those were true.(like the Water Moccasin one:D)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, right, Rebekah, you sure can't forget her!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has got to be the "bless their heart" one. ;)
Being a northerner (No, we generally do not call ourselves Yankees. =P ), I think one thing I recognize in a Southerner would be that they can say "Ain't" in PUBLIC without getting in trouble. Only uncivilized people do that up here. =D
ReplyDeleteThe bless her/his heart one was hilarious. I've always wondered where that came from...
I agree with Kyrstin! I can's say "Aint" with out getting into trouble. and you're darn right we don't call ourselves yankees. But It's really funy to try and imitate you southern accents. :)
ReplyDeleteHaa, I sure am ornery, making a mistake like that one!
ReplyDeleteBless your peapicking hears!
What?! You can't say Ain't?! I don't think i could survive very long up there.:P
ReplyDeleteThat is so fun! I know every one and I am not even technically southern!
ReplyDeleteHaha, have you ever lived in the South?
ReplyDeleteI must say that, in my opinion, the best part of conversing with a Northerner is
1) Making fun of their speech.
2) Watching their faces twist and turn in bewilderment at some of the terms, names, and phrases, that are commonly found in the vocabulary of any Southerner.
How many of ya'll Northerners do not say "Ma'am" "Sir" "Mr. (or Miss, Mrs.) [insert name here]"? (Kyrstin, I already know you never do ;) )
Haha. I don't get most of these cause I've never been down south, but I still found it funny. Especially, "man's best friend is a gun". hahaha
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Nebraska all my life, but it was a backwoodsy down home part. =) We were taught proper respect ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I now know I'm no Southerner, but I think I know some people who are.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I know what a granny is, but what's a "granny woman"?
I don't like tea, sweet or not, and I never eat biscuits.
Green tomatoes?
Can't stand hearing "Bless her little heart." (No offense :)
I do say y'all, though, and snow is a novelty, so I guess I'm 8% southern :)
A granny woman is kinda like a midwife/ medicine woman type thing.
ReplyDeleteSweet tea is only second to water in it's soothing properties for your mind and body, and I have never heard of a body never eating biscuits... ;)
"Green tomatoes?"
Awesome stuff... you take green tomatoes, slice 'em, batter and fry 'em up... delicious treat!
Dearie, you might not want to come down here... chances are you will have your heart blessed and hear of many other cases pertaining to others. ;)
I say ya'll like... all the time... and snow is not a novelty, cause I spent one winter up north and was forever done with the stuff... makes pretty postcards, though. :D
lol. Nicely put Kaitland. :D
