Just so you know...
*Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't 'HAVE' them, you 'PITCH' them.
*Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up 'a mess.'
*Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of 'yonder.'
*Only a Southerner knows exactly how long 'directly' is. As in: 'Going to town, be back directly.'
*Even 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.
*No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
*A Southerner knows that 'fixin' can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.
*In the South, y'all is singular, all y'all is plural.
*Only true Southerners say 'sweet tea,' 'sweet milk,' and 'light bread'. Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. 'Sweet milk' means you don't want buttermilk. And 'Light bread' is white bread.
-There, now I feel better. :)
