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 adverb.
Only Southerners make friends while standing in lines, ... And when we're "in line,"... We talk to everybody!
Put 100 Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're 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!
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

Too many years ago to count I was involved with scheduling events for the local Girl Scout Council. A relatively new employee started talking about doing a big event on the 3rd Saturday in October. Well, the rest of the room erupted all at once -- NOOOOO, not that Saturday!! The employee looked absolutely shocked at the reaction. "Well, for Heaven's sake, why not? That's a beautiful time of year around here for this event!" The rest of us kind of looked at each other with amusement, and finally someone said "We don't do ANYTHING on that weekend because it is Alabama weekend." She didn't have a clue what we were talking about. When we finally explained that the 3rd Saturday in October was when the Tennessee Vols played Alabama and that absolutely EVERYONE was going to, watching, or listening to the game and there was no way on God's green earth they would stop long enough to take their daughter to a Scout event. She was, to say the least, flabberghasted that we would let a sporting event influence us that way.
Needless-to-say, she was a blankety blank Yankee! She just didn't understand Southern priorities!

From pee-wee football to High school ball on Friday nights and up through the big league... yep! College football (Roll Tide!) we take it dead serious!

In my early 20's I lived in Denver with a roomate from Shreveport, LA. I had a LOT of trouble understanding her. The funniest one that I remember was "My frin Linna in Houston works foh Guf Ol. It took me a while to figure out "Gulf Oil".
I was raised in KS - the Southern part - but it's not really "Southern"!
