Unmistakeable is the drawl, unexplainable is the tone and unfortunate is the target of the Southern Woman's disdain. As the social barometer rises in the sultry sweet south, one thing goes unaffected by the heightened humidity and lowered productivity. Clearly heard in garden parties and cocktail hours all over the region, is the sing-song voice of southern women telling the world how they really feel. As far back as history can recall, the poetic and polite piercing of an untamed tongue often belongs to none other than the hospitable and often hostile women of the south.
Good morning Cherimie. This is fun and so beautifully written too. I loved it. As an after thought, I would apprteciate a bigger font.

Cherimie- I hope you're including Texas in this because that is my birthplace. Oh yes, I love the southern ways. I have a feeling I say "Bless your heart" at least once a day. You've made me miss all of the Texas accents that i dearly love.

I never had much occasion to visit the South until a friend moved there (Atlanta.) She's now very proficient in Ya'll, but so far, I haven't heard the others!

So true! I was raised in Virginia and know the language.
Southern women offer the best hospitality that you will find anywhere.
Great post. I've lived in the south now for long enough to get the "lingo." But they sure don't always get my New York City "lingo."
Being Canadian, this is a foreign language for me LOL. Thanks for the education ;).
I've never lived in the South but I have traveled thru it and probably met someone who has said each of these phrases - thank you for giving them meaning!
I so remember the times I would have to travel south and then try to remember their little differences. Thanks for a fun post
