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.

  3. Saying “Bless your heart” is an insult is making it sarcastic and I don’t hear that. These may be more Southern than Texan.
