A True Southerner
Ya'll Yankees might learn a lil somethin
 Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption. Nobody but a true Southerner knows how many fish make up a mess. A true Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of yonderways. A true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in "Going to town, be back directly." Even true Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table. All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. True Southerners know instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold 'tater salad. (If the trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add some hot biscuits and "nanner puddin'.) True Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "pert' near" and "a right far piece." True Southerners both know and understand the differences between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash. No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn. True Southerners know that "fixin" can be used both as a noun, verb and adverb.

That same Southerner would also know that one THROWS a regular fit, PITCHES a hissie fit and HAS a conniption. 'nanner puddin, A potent substance with miraculous powers. I do miss it so.

Ya know LilRed,
I was certain that I'd see something about barbeque, cobbler, and gun racks in vehicles along with a good ol' fashioned church revival (which all good Southerners know turns into a gun swap meet either in the church community areas or right out in the ol parking lot! )Did we mention "Up a piece, yonder"?

What about sweet tea? We have a guy from Alabama who works for us, and he swears no one who was born in the North can make it properly.

And we also know that in the south all soda waters er referred to as Coke. As in
"What kinda Coke ya'll want?" "I'll take a Dr. Pepper." GoodOlBoy

Sweet tea
Well heck GSG...out here in Wyoming they don't even know what sweet tea is...much less how to make it. BY the way..no kinda tea is made with instant tea. Heck a lot of Yankees(gotta say it with a sneer in it) don't even know what" y'all" means. Heck most yankees is sorry that they "won the war of northern aggression". We ain't gonna let 'em win the nex time..are we lilred??

More proof that I was right when I told my mom, that I was sure that I was switched at birth, adopted, or a Divine conception (Ya, right!)
I've always felt out of place, here "Up-north". I'd always wondered why until I made my first journey "Down South". It was clear at once that These were My people. That surely I'd been forcibly removed from them by mistake or devilish intention. I can only hope to "Return" someday...back "Home". Tall Shadow

I haven't had a lesson in the proper making of sweet tea yet. I keep asking for one, but so far no dice.
I actually say Y'all and I'm a Michigander born and bred. I do pick up regional accents really fast though. Put me in a room with someone with a Southern accent and I'll start sounding like I was born in the South. Still don't like grits though. GSG

Grits is an acquired taste. Ya don't truely appreciate them until ya have had them on a feb morning in a pier and beam house with a wood burnin stove and no central heat and there is plenty of cathead biscuts, fried squirrel, doodlum gravy, and sorgum or cane syrup.
Its kinda like Texas chili, Creek Taters, friend catfish, and a wieny roast. Ya may not understand em the first time ya have em, but it aint long for ya go ta cravin em. GoodOlBoy

Muscadine
It is a variety of grape...also used for a type of drink that has a little more bite to it. I even used to go pick some wild grapes to make jelly with. UM Umm good stuff. and wild blueberries raspberries and them ol dew berries(ground vine types of blackberries) My wife and a friend picked a bunch of Choke cherries and made a batch of syrup with 'em. Good too.
