"Southernisms" and the Southern Lady

Amytours: thank you for reminding us just how southern Women feel.We are totally a breed apart.We have lived in many places but with Being born and raised in Fla I will always be a Southern Woman.Love my grits with butter and cheese too.

You do know what GRITS stands for, don't you? Girls Raised In The South!

Grits are wonderful fixed many different ways, but my absolute favorite is lots of cheese, lots of garlic, salt and pepper, AND an egg with the yolk still runny. YUM!

I do have to take exception with the poster who wrote that you can't grow cultivated poke weed. You CAN. I am a variegated plant addict, and I have a variegated poke plant in a pot!

Also, it's definitely croppy down here. Also often crick, or branch, or fork. Hell=hail, but sale often=sell . Nobody ever said it had to make sense!
