Only true Southerners say "sweet tea"
and "sweet milk." 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.

I looooooooooooooooooooove sweet tea. Unsweetened tea is disgusting. The more sugar, the better. And the only milk I drink it skim milk xD any "higher" milk than that is just too milk-y, I like more water-y milk

And a true Southerner knows you don't
scream obscenities at little old ladies
who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You
just say, "Bless her heart" and go your
own way.


Nope, never. We're very big on respecting your elders, and if that means not yelling at the old lady in front of you going 20 miles under the speedlimit, you just either deal with it or go a different way.

I love rolling my R's!
I wish I got the chance to roll them more often. There's not many American English words you use to roll your R's...

Leave out the "r." British people pronounce the "r" if it is in the middle of a word, but not if it lands somewhere toward the end. Hence, "car" becomes "cah" and "park" becomes "pahk," but remember to pronounce "promise" and "borrow" almost as you would normally.

DIS IS WHY I BELONG IN BOSTON, I PRETTY MUCH SPEAK THE ACCENT ALREADY xD

SOUTHERNESS - Someone once noted
that a Southerner can get away with the
most awful kind of insult just as long as
it's prefaced with the words, "Bless
her heart" or "Bless his heart." As in:
"Bless his heart, if they put his brain
on the head of a pin, it'd roll around
like a BB on a six lane highway." Or:
"Bless her heart, she's so blind, she
couldn't see the moon shine."

Saying "bless their heart" is the same thing as saying "jk" or "I'm just messin with you". It takes away from the insult.

I was thinking about this the other day
when a friend was telling about her new
Northern friend who was upset because
her toddler is just beginning to talk and
he has a Southern accent. My friend,
who is very kind and, bless her heart,
cannot do a thing about those thighs of
hers, was justifiably miffed about this.
After all, this woman had CHOSEN to
move to the South a couple of years
ago. "Can you believe it?" she said to
her friend. "A child of mine is going to
be taaaallllkk! in' liiiike thiiiissss." Now,
don't get me wrong, some of my
dearest friends are from the North,
bless their hearts. I welcome their
perspective, their friendships and their
recipes for authentic Northern Italian
food. I've even gotten past their
endless complaints that you can't find
good bread down here. And the
heathens, bless their hearts, don't like
cornbread! The ones that really gore my
ox are the native Southerners who have
begun to
act almost embarrassed about their
speech. We've already lost too much! I
was raised to swanee, not swear, but
you hardly ever hear anyone say that
anymore, I swanee you don't. And I've
caught myself thinking twice before
saying something is "right much"; "right
close" or "right good" because
non-natives think this is right funny
indeed. I have a friend from Bawston
who thinks it's hilarious when I say
I've got to "carry" my daughter to the
doctor or "cut off" the light. She also
gets a giggle every time I am "fixing"
to do something. And, bless their
hearts, they don't know where "over
yonder" is, or what, "I reckon" means.
My personal favorite was my aunt
saying, "Bless her heart, she can't help
being ugly, but she could've stayed
home."
