Quote by cajunbuckaroo A Northern or Western person will say "I'd like to fuck you." A Southerner will say "I'd like to fuck y'all!!" lol
Not true...Y'all is plural, meaning more than one. So if a Southerner says "I'd like to fuck Y'all", it is more than likely her or she is wanting sex from more than one person.
I have only heard this in the South, but not sure if it is exclusive to the South......they dont put things away, they put things up and it seems that all of them are fixin to do something.
My Mamaw ALWAYS said, 'If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise...
When asked how you are it was , "Fair to Midland" and the response back was, "That's a good grade of cotton." It meant you were ok..... or the other answer ... "peachy"

There are times she is kneeling out of obedience, reverence and respect. Those are the times it is okay to stand above her. But when she is kneeling because the weight of the world is just too heavy to bear … that is when You should be kneeling beside her.

Quote by HeraTeleia Not sure if it's Southern but a friend of mine (Hawai'ian, but raised most of her life in Florida) calls all her female friends "Mama". As in, "Come over here for a spell, Mama Jen". And she's a solid twenty years my senior.
Grammie was Canadian but lived in SE Missouri, always did love hauling me all through the Deep South "to see the Americans" when I was a child. I therefore know that "well, bless your heart" is not a compliment.
Well, if that ain't the truth, I don't know what is...

Well, I cain't say I'm truly from the South, 'cpetin' thet everthang is southa Alaska. But I am cuntry so's if'n ya want, here's a couple: "Nuttier than a squirrel turd! or "Dumb as a bag of hammers!"
Again, not sure if this is Southern, but I say "(he/she/they/whatever) (is/are) fixed six ways to to Sunday" on occasion. Or similarly, "I'll fix (you/them/whatever) six ways to Sunday...". The latter is generally used as a sort of threat. My Grammie's neighbour Irma said that quite a lot.
Also, "that really (burns/butters) my brickle". Some of these things are surely extremely colloquial. "Minute" equalling a while is also something I'm pretty sure is unique to the American South. As in, "I'm going to set a minute" or "this cough has been on me for a minute". Again, I'm Canadian born and bred and Grammie was similarly Canadian born and bred, so these are things I recall hearing as she car toured us through the South.
