Things You Will Never Hear a Southerner Say…
That’s the Southern United States if y’all hadn’t figured that one out.
My momma always said the higher the hair the closer to God. She was a pro at "Jacking it to Jesus." ;) There is a funny YouTube video on the things Southern women do say. Bucko counted at least 30 of them that have come out of my mouth.
Lol Cat. Hmm, not being from the States, let alone the Southern States I can't fully relate ... but these were funny. Actually, come to think of it, some of these sound similar to our South Islanders! Hmm coincidence? Lol
LOL.......... I think every country has their own version of 'southerners'. In Australia they're most often found in the western suburbs of any state capital.
But oh dear God, what am I getting myself into visiting AL in 3 weeks?
I'm with Callie...people from the Northern part of my province could definitely be interchanged with the Southerners...except more clothes in the winter months.
I have to say, TL's "Jackin' it to Jesus" was the best part! I had never heard that!
Oh yes Sunny - another good one. If they ask which you want since a lot of the time, they just bring grits. Very confusing for those who have never had and don't know what they are. LOL
Darlin' I'm not sure if I should be offended. In case I am let me just say Southern women are the most gracious hostesses and our men will take a bullet to protect our women. We love our football (college football/ SEC). As I heard someone put it....every family has a "crazy" relative but the difference in the South is will bring ours out and sit them on the porch with a glass of tea to greet the visitors. Our faith and family come first in all things. Respectfully, Lucy
Hey Lucy - Sure hope you aren't offended since that was never my intent. Most of my family and several dear friends are from the south and we constantly tease each other about our southernisms.
The angriest I ever remember my father being was when one of my cousins complained about a 'crazy' uncle of ours embarrassing him in front of his friends. Daddy proceeded to quote that line at him and tell him not to act like a northerner who hides any relative who is different.
Please accept my apologies if I offended you in any way.
Cat, Sorry I'm not really offended :-). I love your blog and look forward to reading for a good laugh. I have a Yankee relative or two and we all have our quirks. Thank you for your time to share so much with us. Lucy
yeah....well you won't hear a waitress ask if you want sweet or unsweet tea either
ReplyDeleteGood point Dana! This list is definitely missing a few 'southernisms'. :D
DeleteBlessings,
Cat
You forgot my hair is too big. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother good point TL! Never, ever will hear a southern woman say her hair is too big! LOL
DeleteBlessings,
Cat

DeleteOh good one TL - totally forgot "Jackin' to Jesus'! Will have to look for the YouTube video. Watch here tomorrow to see if I find it. :D
DeleteI had to go check out the video before I commented. Funny stuff above Cat. My mom's family is from down south.
ReplyDeleteI say a few of those sayings on the video. Not the Bit**y ones of course. lol
Full as a tick, cracked me up. I say that all the time.
Thanks for the video mention TL
Glad to help. I think I may have let one or two of the Bit**y ones slip out myself. ;)
DeleteMy mom's family is from the south also Minelle and of course a lot of people around here would claim that this is the south. :)
DeleteI've heard quite a few of those most of my life. LOL
Blessings,
Cat
Oh I've let a few of the *itchy with a B ones slip out also. :)
DeleteBeing married to a southern boy, I can attest to each one of those.
ReplyDeleteLOL Emma - I'm sure you can. ;)

LOL Roz - Wonder if it has something to do with 'South' being in the name. Happy you enjoyed these.

ReplyDeleteBut oh dear God, what am I getting myself into visiting AL in 3 weeks?
LOL Callie - Take a cheat sheet so you will know what they are saying - just like any region, it's a whole other language. teehee

Lots of Love Cat,
Willie
LOL Willie - 'Jackin' it to Jesus' and 'The higher the hair (pronounced hir), the closer to God' are two I heard quite a bit. ;)
DeleteSeems as if every country has their own version of 'southern'. So now you need to write a post about your 'northerners'. LOL
Blessings,
Cat
How about ya want grits or hasbrowns?
ReplyDeleteY'all come back again now, ya heah.
Oh yes Sunny - another good one. If they ask which you want since a lot of the time, they just bring grits. Very confusing for those who have never had and don't know what they are. LOL

These are really cute. Ian will love the thing about the civil war.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cat.

lillie
Happy you enjoyed them Lillie. Actually thought of Ian when I saw the civil war one. ;)
DeleteHugs and Blessings,
Cat

ReplyDeleteYou bet they are SNP! Still have a lot of kinfolk in the south. ;)
