Thanks for posting that Neesy- I so want to watch it. Alas, I am back at work since 6am with unfinished business, so can't watch now. There's a lot of Southern quotes I use, but none original. I'm a copycat. Bless your heart and Oh my word are frequent - and they can be kind or they can be mean and unless you know the backstory you can't tell the difference. Southern girls are really mean.
Oh wow - so the girls in my office are not really from the
"mumblemumblemumble other place"
but actually from the South? ha ha It is all good now - I have learned how to take it and just deal with it! (Bless their little hearts)

I'm a Southern Girl......and I'm not mean. Neither are my friends or my family

I'm glad to hear that @Sundrop - that is the problem with stereotypes - there are always people who can tell you the real truth (like you). We cannot paint everyone from a certain location with the same brush - that's called being prejudiced.
(there was a show on TV recently (cannot recall the name) and THOSE girls were just awful. They all had southern accents and one was blonde - gee can someone help me out here?

Well, this one's not funny, but it is mine. "You know you have taught a child well if he/she will ask questions above and beyond the material taught in class."

I said this during a lecture to a "Philosophy Club," and the teacher said, "Bless you, dear." lol! There were a lot of brilliant kids in that club. I truly believe that most every child can succeed if they are given the tools. :)
Thank you! They don't have to be funny, original is what I was looking for.

What? No, they're not! I'm Southern, and I'm not mean, and I have quite a few lovely Southern friends who aren't mean at all!

I've always used "bless his/her heart" in reference to someone who's making a huge, laborious, and fatiguing effort on something, or someone who's attempting to tackle a project that's simply too hard or difficult for their abilities, or someone who went above and beyond the call of duty to do something nice for someone else.

Well, certainly not all Southern girls are mean - not us, not Sunny, not Linda (kff) - I can't think of who else on here is Southern. But I'm sure you know what I mean. Some have a knack for sounding nice when they're really being mean, but I guess that's just mean girls everywhere. Cry yer pardon, gal.
