1. Don't you think that's a little offensive to Southern women?

Not me!

Because you bet your Aunt Fanny I and every other Southern woman I know either says it or knows somebody who does.

[whathehell]

20. What about Southern men?

Why are all the jokes about women or "girls", e.g. "how white girls talk".

Does no one possess the inclination -- or the gonads - to pick on boys?

Are we "girls" just a soft target?

[nolabear]

23. Soft as yo' mamanem's buttermilk biscuits, Baby.

I'll bet the "Southern men" thing is out there, though it might be under the heading "rednecks" or some such. And that does point out that men are the default and women have to be specified. But that's another topic.

[Sissyk]

2. LMAO!!!!!

I can't tell you how many of those things I've said.

[Arkansas Granny]

3. I haven't said all of those things myself, but I've heard them all

at one time or another. I'm surprised that I didn't hear a single "bless her heart".

[nolabear]

4. LOL! Or "He cain't help it, poor thing."

This is the second or third one I think. I know I've seen one other. I like to have busted a gut.

[Sissyk]

5. Yes, on bless your heart!!

I think that was in the first one.

6. My very very proper Southern neighbor lady said to me

when describing a "no account" man..
"He's lower than ditch dirt".

I love her....I call her The Queen ( behind her back, of course).


The video is on target, I can tell you that.

[petronius]

7. Another episode of that, and I might could start missing the South...

[onager]

8. LOL! Thanks. And my Grandma's favorite expression was...

"Shit fire!"

Don't think I've ever heard that one outside the South.

I grew up in Upstate South Carolina, where you can still hear English usages dating back to Queen Elizabeth, if not earlier.

e.g., when my friends and I came in from a hard day playing in the mud, somebody would probably holler at us that we were "nasty as karn." I was about 25 years old before I figured out what they were saying - nasty as carrion, or very nasty indeed.

[Wounded Bear]

9. Well, I never spent much time in the South...

but I've been known to say, "Well, shit fire and save matches."

[Locut0s]

10. 1:09 What?...

"I'm about to jerk a knot in your tail"

[CottonBear]

11. That is what we say here in the South!

LOL!

It is true! We DO say that in Western NC, Upstate SC, NE GA & East TN!

I've said it myself.

Bye Y'all!

[Phentex]

15. Give me a holler if you need anything!

"How's your mom and them?"

"Y'all fixin to take off? Well, holler back when ya get there."

"Ja' eat yet? Yes, ma'am I did!"

[whathehell]

21. By "we" do you mean only women?

or are do the men speak with an entirely different vocabulary?

[CottonBear]

28. It is a common vernacular phrase used by both men & women. n/t

[nolabear]

24. Hell yes, only my daddy said "Ima knock a knot in your tail and knock it off!"

Sweet man...

[HappyMe]

12. lol!

My mom used to say "If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about!" She's not from the South though. Maybe it's a universal momism.

[Blue_Tires]

14. Yeah, that's not an expression unique to the south...

[Phentex]

13. WTF?

You mean people elsewhere DON'T say these things? I thought we all did. Lord a mercy!

I watched 4 episodes and felt like I was just talking to my friends.

[Iggo]

16. Yay! Audio porn!

I love love LOVE southern accents.

[Demo_Chris]

17. There's the Southern Belle accent, and there's Redneck. One is sexy, the other...

Not so much.

[Rambis]

18. I'm fixin to un-recommend this (nm)

[Aristus]

19. "Little Bob, you come down offa there, before I snatch you bald-headed!"

My Alabama-born mother, college-educated and a teacher, used to say that sort of thing to me when I was a kid.

[rrneck]

22. Well, imma jump up and run off. Y'all go with us. nt

[Iggo]

25. Ha!

Took me three tries, but I think I figured out what Red said: "Did your lard-ass eat the last Moon Pie?"

[Sissyk]

26. Moon Pies are sacred!

And, lard ass is used in many other conversation, too!

[kwassa]

27. I recognized almost all these expressions, and have never lived in the South.

Only a few seem specifically Southern, and almost none are specific to women alone.

Many of these I heard in Ohio growing up.
