I just read another post where someone had made a comment like this in another thread, just wondered who else noticed these odd Southern sayings. Please don't be offended, not making fun of anybody, just curious.
My wife, who is from Missouri, had spent a couple weeks here in Mississippi with me & my family right after we started dating. She brought something to my attention that although I was raised here, I'd never noticed. After a day of hanging out listening to the locals talk she told me "I've figured you southern people out. You can say anything you want to about anybody as long as you follow it with.. Bless Their Heart".
The more I thought about it, the funnier it got, because she was right.
That there is a big ole girl.. Bless her heart
He's dumb as a box of rocks, but I love him.. Bless his heart
That three legged dog shore looks pitiful.. Bless it's heart
That was the worst meal I ever ate, but she tried.. Bless her heart
Did you see that snaggle-toothed kid with the warts?.. Bless his heart.
She still points out things like this that I've never noticed every now and then. Of course she doesn't have a "Shut-up gene" either.. Bless her heart
