Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption.
Nobody but a true Southerner knows how many fish make up a mess.
A true Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of cattywumpus.
A true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is-as in "Going to town, be back directly."
Even true 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 true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is.
True Southerners know 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 tater salad. (If the trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add some hot biscuits and nanner puddin'.)
True Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "pert' near" and "a right far piece."
True Southerners both know and understand the differences 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.
True Southerners know that "fixin" can be used both as a noun, verb and adverb.
True Southerners have always known that the South is more American than the rest of America.

A true Southerner knows exackly how long "direckly" is-as in "Gwine t'town, be back direckly." Even true Southern babies knows thet "Gimme some sugar" is not a requess fo' th' white, granular sweet substance thet sits in a purdy li'l bowl in th' middle of th' table. All true Southerners knows exackly when "by an' by" is. True Southerners knows instinckively thet th' bess gesture of solace fo' a neighbo' who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried possum an' a trimenjus bowl of cold tater salad, cuss it all t' tarnation.

I can tell you have a piece of the south in you.I was suspicious when you corrected me about meteors/meteorites.Do you remember lambasting me about that?It was in such a cracker fashion-like an ambush. lambaste=jumping someone sh*t Gave me a nose bleed:)

James, I do remember that conversation. I was not trying to lambaste you, only trying to elucidate the difference between a meteor and a meteorite. Was attempting to ed-ja-ma-cate you! If you were offended, I sincerely apologize. My husband gets pissed at me when I try to correct him as well. You'd think I'd know better by now... Jean

I see this discussion is involving Californians and Ga/N.Carolina.If you pay close attention you will see the extreme envy the CA. people have for us S'ners.When Hollywood needs a real character they gotta recruit-from the south.When they need a dummy,they go south.When they need a crazy,they go south.Also a good supply of beauty-but wild thang form of it. We are always amused at the choice Hollywood has made over many years when they need to fill certain roles.We can see the actor walking from a distance into the scene and know that he will have to have a southern accent to look like that,be doing that. It flatters some of us that Californians do not have certain qualities and are forced to recruit from our ranks. The world according to Jamesp.We love you guys too
