Erm, Texas is in the south. :sneaky: *ducks and runs*

Texas may be located in the southern most region, however, Texas is its own country and Texans don't call themselves Southerners. You should know better, Beth!

I do appreciate the "ducks and runs" -- knew that'd come back to bite me one day! :thumbup:

True, but other people call Texans southerners. They just don't get it. Don't mess with Texas. :sneaky:

Hell, people HERE consider THIS the south. I've almost been bitch-slapped a few times when I burst out laughing. :thumbup:

You did too? I thought it said LBT. I directed her to the Rants and Raves. They use the F-bomb and C-bomb a LOT over there. She'll appreciate it. :sneaky:

Well considering I wouldn't send my worst enemy there...

No.

Seems like a suitable location for someone of that stature.

That's freaking HILLARIOUS!

I feel smarter somehow not knowing the answer to that... or just naive.

Atleast mine just spanked the crap outta me then moved on hehe

Mine gave me caster oil (shivers)...:sneaky:

mine taught me how to uncork a bottle of wine properly....a skill not many 6yrs old's had - but has served me well:thumbup:

What kind of grannies did you guys have?!? Hitting, castor oil and wine opening? Having not had one, I often wondered what I missed.

Yep it's the proper way to insult someone...ya know, it makes it okay :

I am not being snarky...I really want to know....is the phrase "bless your heart' an insult? Where I am from, it is a statement that you bestow on someone who is genuine and sweet or generous, and you are 'blessing' them...thanking them.

The things I'm learning...I did not know that. *Tap updates her 'things to know when traveling' book*.

Ditto

Bet you did...you couldn't resist, could you?

Tap- I was born in Mississippi and there if you say "Bless your heart" It was mostly said by the older population when they were not necessarily trying to insult... But they were saying it because you were ignorant or naive.. or just didn't have a clue what you were talking about.

It really depends on the context. A bit on the tone, but since it's usually said in a very sweet manner, I wouldn't rely so much on the tone.

90% of the time, when that phrase is used, it's meant condescendingly (at least down south).

oh dear, not sure alex has enough bandwidth for me to answer that question here....:sneaky:

"bless your heart" - brandy gave a good explanation.

WOW - honestly, this is new to me. I can see why people (no matter how well meaning, and even speaking the same language) can get into trouble ... same words, entirely different meanings.

Note to self: Never say Bless you Heart unless with your family or friends!

I have laughed so hard today! My goodness, I needed that laugh so badly. The poop thread was hilarious! I enjoyed everyone's reply to granny, both here and on her thread. Priceless!
