Southern Manners
[Headline from DRJ]
Via the Houston Chronicle, which isn’t really Southern:
Southern insults disguised as compliments that you’ve probably heard
You walk in the door to grandma’s house filled with the aroma of some freshly baked dessert, but instead of the usual greeting, she cups your face in her hands and says “my, well don’t you look healthy.”
Heh.

There’s a lot of Seattle Nice in Southern Manners.
