You might be a “Southie” if...

Well were the fun in that.


Before any uptight snobs jump me it's just a joke. I'm not saying it's ok to drink and drive EVER. I'm a volunteer first responder so I'm seen stuff most have only read about. Anybody with any sensel knows it's a damn stupid thing to do.

I never drink and drive!
I'm just not a very good driver

What’s sensel?

I googled it and found nothing


I assume it’s a Southie word..

Can you give a hint by telling me how many Southie syllables it has.

I have never figured out syllables on Southie words.

For example. Up north we use the two words

“You All”.


Southies make it into one word “Yalls”,
to even make it harder for us Northerners to understand it looks like one word and one syllable.

But to hear a Southie pronounce it it becomes two syllables with a drawn out s on the end when spoken by a male.

But when spoken by a Southie female it can be anywhere from 3-6 syllables.

Also we know Southies throw in extra “ah” and “ua” sounds. “E” can be pronounced like a soft “i”.

So with all of this in mind I am guessing “sensel” is pronounced “sincuals”. Which I have no idea what it means, so I googled it.

What I found in the first selection google gave me, scared me, and posting it here would get me detention for a few weeks.

Which brings me to another subject.

“the creation of a new species”. We know a new species happens when a single species evolves into to distinct similar but different species.

The logical conclusion is our ( northerners) ancestors were either “southies” before they ceased to evolve or, the more likely, theory is Northerners and Southies had a common ancestor and split.

The northerners advanced to become the superior species while Southies became what we see today being able to survive on okra, pure liquid sugar heated with a plant leaf for color, boiled peanuts and other things which would cause the advanced species to spend hours in a bathroom expelling the substance from both ends of the digestive track.

I think I'll keep this as a guide so that when I move to Mississippi I can attempt understanding of how their language works. I'm trying to learn Spanish right now, but after reading this post... well, I may have to devote some more time to deep southian, as it seems very complicated!

You won't have a problem just don't say "you guys"
Listen more than you talk, if you don't understand, just say "say whaaa"
If you have any questions on what something means, please feel free to contact me.
If I may ask, where in Mississippi are you moving? Notice we tend to be very polite, shows you are well brought up.
Good luck

Nah .. I rarely ever run off the road.
Cause I'm not gawking around trying to wave at everybody and their dog.

Oh dear... "You guys" is a common phrase in my vocabulary
I'm going to college at Mississippi State University (Starkville, MS). Thanks for the advice! I've also been advised that the phrase "Well, bless her heart" is not a compliment, so I'll try to avoid occasion for that one, but I've been known as a bit of a blonde, so we'll see...
