Southern 101---Explanation of all things Southern

[FrenchHen]

And we say things like "don't holler at yer sister,"
which means stop yelling at your sister.
Holler at him to stop!
Give him a holler for me!

I'm so pleased at this thread!

buchhorn: I love the one about "Sweet Milk" My yankee friends looked all over Ingles trying to find it.

Based on what I have read here I would say I belong down south. No one up here holds doors open, no one says "Thank you ma'am/sir", its way different. I say fixin like 'I am fixin to go out tonight'. One of these days I will make it down there. We almost went to Texas and Lousiana when we were in Arizona but didnt want to deal with New Mexico. I should start savin now so I can get enough to make a visit, lol.

Ya'll all just need to take a trip to Philadelphia, MS at the end of July thats when the Neshoba County Fair takes place its known far and wide as Mississippi's Giant House Party. I guarantee you would leave with more understanding than you ever thought you would ever have of the hospitality of the Southern people, not to mention get to listen to lots of B.S. and pick up on probably more of our talk than you bargained for also.
