More Suthen-ism’s:

Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a
conniption fit, and that you don’t “HAVE” them, you “PITCH” them.
_____

Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens,
peas, beans, etc.., make up “a mess.”
_____

Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of
“yonder.”
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long “directly” is, as in: “Going
to town, be back directly.”
_____

Even Southern babies know that “Gimme some sugar” is not a request for
the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in
the middle of the table.
All Southerners know exactly when “by and by” is. They might not use
the term, but they know the concept well.
_____

Only a 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!
_____

Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between “right near”
and “a right far piece.” They also know that “just down the road” can be
1 mile or 20
Only a Southerner, both knows and understands, the difference between a
redneck, a good ol’ boy, and Po white trash.
_____

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

A Southerner knows that “fixin” can be used as a noun, a verb, or an

Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, … And when
we’re “in line,”… We talk to everybody!

related, even if only by marriage.
_____

In the South, y’all is singular, all y’all is plural.
_____

Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
_____

Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are
perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and
that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
When you hear someone say, “Well, I caught myself lookin’,” you know
you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
_____

Only true Southerners say “sweet tea” and “sweet milk.” Sweet tea
indicates the need for sugar and lots of it — we do not like our tea
unsweetened. “Sweet milk” means you don’t want buttermilk.
_____

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.
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness:
Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the
morning. Bless your heart!
_____
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all
this Southern stuff, … bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin’ to
have classes on Southernness as a second language!
_____

And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a
long time, all y’all need a sign to hang on y’alls front porch that
reads “I ain’t from the South, but I got here as fast as I could.”
Southern girls know men may come and go, but friends are fahevah !

Now…… Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or
wish they had been! If you’re a Northern transplant,bless your little
heart, fake it. We know you got here as fast as you could.

===================================================

The truth was spoken regarding fried chicken, potato salad, and in important situations, banana pudding. My family knows I’m deep into a bout of southern homesick when I make banana pudding.

I still remember my great uncle telling the youngest to “gimme some sugar.” She looked at him like he’d grown horns. (Ok, this particular uncle that could happen, too.) I, on the other hand, had tears in my eyes. It was just one side of the family, but with a bazillion kids roaming the place on any given Sunday, the phrase was often heard.

The list left off one of my favorites: This ol’ boy. It’s a phrase used most often in amusement, as in “This ol’ boy got in the back of that pickup and rode three miles ‘fore he’d realized he’d left his hat on his horse.” Come to think of it, that might be more of an Oklahoma phrase. As long as I live I’ll remember standing in line at Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany and hearing a man utter “This ol’ boy…”

I spun around and demanded, “You from Oklahoma?”

His eyes grew rather wide, and he replied, “Yes ma’am.”

(Read again: standing in line. To my recollection, we were not found to be related. )
