FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH . . .....
In the South : If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men
in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along
shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is
what they live for.
Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store...
Do not buy food at this store.
Remember, 'Y'all' is singular, 'all y'all' is plural, and 'all y'all's'
is plural possessive
Get used to hearing 'You ain't from round here, are ya?'
Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to
use it.
Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They
can't understand you either. The first Southern statement to creep
into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective 'big'ol,'
truck or 'big'ol' boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced
dialect this way. All of them are in denial about it.
The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper .
Be advised that 'He needed killin..' is a valid defense here.
If you hear a Southerner exclaim, 'Hey, y'all watch this,' you should
stay out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'll ever
say.
If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest
accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery
store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just
have to go there.
Do not be surprised to find that 10-year olds own their own shotguns,
they are proficient marksmen, and their mammas taught them how to aim.
In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn
is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.
AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't
think we will accept them as Southerners...
After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we ain't gonna call 'em
biscuits.
Send this to four people that ain't related to you, and I reckon your
life will turn into a country music song 'fore you know it. Your kin
would get a kick out of it too!
To use the ultimate southern term of affection -- BLESS YOUR HEART !!
