Things A True
Southerner Knows...





The difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit.

Pretty much how many fish make up a mess.

What general direction cattywumpus is.

That "gimme sugar" don't mean pass the sugar.

When somebody's "fixin" to do something, it won't be long.

How good a cold grape Nehi and cheese crackers are at a country store.

Knows what, "Well I Suwannee !!" means.

Ain't nobody's biscuits like Grandma's biscuits!

A good dog is worth its weight in gold.

Real gravy don't come from the store.

The War of Northern Aggression was over state rights, not slavery.

When "by and by" is.

How to handle their "pot likker".

The difference between "pert' near" and "a right far piece".

The differences between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and trailer trash.

Never to go snipe hunting twice.

At one point learned what happens when you swallow tobacco juice.

Never to assume that the other car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.

You may wear long sleeves, but you should always roll 'em up past the elbows.

You should never loan your tools, pick-up, or gun to nobody.

A belt serves a greater purpose than holding Daddy's pants up.

Rocking chairs and swings are guaranteed stress relievers.

Rocking chairs and swings with an old person in them are history lessons.

I still take some people who never heard of snipe hunting.I've swallowed tobacco juice before and was sick as a dog and the rest I rather not talk about it.But you do have some truth in what you've wrote.

Fr. Chuck, I think Sparta is bigger than Brighton. You have Henco furniture, we have one stop light. LOL

Hi,
Very, very good.
As another said, been there, done that, too!
Being born in a Southern state, I grew up with all those "sayings".
Here in the mountains, I had to get use to "juice poles", instead of saying "phone poles".
Also, if you get an electric shock, you have been "juiced".
