A lot of southerners learn to code switch out of our accents to be taken seriously by non-sounterners (because a lot of people think we're unintelligent and uncivilized) but sometimes it's a lot harder to hide it when we're discussing our little lingo.

@bincerbob 6 лет назад

She started off with a very boring, middle of the road American accent and as she was describing these, she morphed further and further into her Southern accent

@binaryvoid0101 6 лет назад

I grew up in Hawaii where I had a strong Hawaiian Pidgin accent. After my family and I moved to Colorado, my accent slowly adapted into a standard American accent. At 30, my Pidgin accent was entirely absent. When I visit my ohana (family) in Hawaii every other year, my old accent does start to creep its way back in. If you know what its like to go through an accent change, then you can definitely relate to my girl, Reese Witherspoon.

@sdearing6375 6 лет назад

I have generally adapted to a midwest accent but mine comes back out when I talk to my daddy on the phone or visit him or go back down to memphis or nashville. It also comes out when I get real tired.

@hi_austin 5 лет назад

As a Tennessean, I’ll say “Bless your heart” can be either a genuine expression of sympathy or a brutal insult. It all depends on context.

@TheSoftballstar1261 2 года назад

@Z0MBIETACO 6 лет назад

Jason Smith for sure! Ive heard bless your heart in the negative way more than in the positive.

@ceceliam9014 6 лет назад

I don't know that it's actually negative though. In the sense that it's not said with any ill will. It's just a little patronizing... because the assumption is that they need some blessing because they're just not too bright... but bless their heart, they really try, lol. Same slightly patronizing, coddling way that "hun" might be used. Well meaning, just slightly holier-than-thou in execution :D

@anarchy030 6 лет назад

Cecelia M yes, it can be used as a term of affection but usually it's used to make a snide comment under your breath without the other person being aware. Used so you don't come off as rude or a jerk.

Okay, but every Southerner knows that "bless your heart" can be the most sincere term of commiseration, most polite f*** you, or just nice comment. It all depends on the context. Northerners do not understand the versatility of the phrase. Also, she's wrong about piddling. That means procrastinating, just piddling around, instead of getting down to brass tacks.

@honda197056 4 года назад

Bless your heart can go either way. It totally depends on the situation. For example: June says, my granny fell at church last Sunday and broke her wrist. Sandra responded with bless her heart, is she ok? Meaning I am so sorry to hear that, I hope she makes a full recovery. Next example. Tommy says that Bubba fell out the tree stand and broke his leg. Missy responded with bless his heart, was he drunk again. Meaning: serves the dumbass right. I hope this clears up any confusion. Thank you for your time and attention. This has been a southern public service announcement.

@ericbrown1101 6 лет назад

I always understood "tore slap up" to refer to someone who is an emotional wreck. "Man her cat died and she is just tore slap up." And a "goober" is also a dumb, silly person...usually an affectionate term though. Southerners have a lot of fun, crazy sayings. My dad grew up in North Carolina and practically has a book full of them. Some are more well known (eg: "preaching to the choir") and some are really obscure. I'd say probably 80% of them make no sense whatsoever. One of my favorites is "a possum ran over your grave." You know those little random shivers you get sometimes, usually accompanied by goosebumps? When that happens to you, we say "a possum ran over your grave." I love it because I don't think any other group has ever created a term for that lol.

@brittanycole2216 6 лет назад

We call the shivers, the frissons. Which is just the chills in French.

@PasAthene 6 лет назад

In my family (in Georgia) we say shivers means a rabbit ran across your grave.

@LaughingOwlKiller 6 лет назад

Its an old superstition dating back before there was an American South. A random shiver with no outside reason for one was 'Someone walking over your grave" But since then different regions have adapted it.

@frankmachin5438 2 года назад

@SB_McCollum 6 лет назад

Piddlin' means small, as in 'ittle bitty, as in doing a little bit of everything but what you're supposed to be doing, as in taking such small steps that it takes you nearly forever to get there. Spoken first to little children to rebuke them for walking so slow (little steps), or taking forever to do their chores (little effort on the duty at hand, but doing everything else instead). Also used by adults to point out relative size or importance. ("She's still whining about some piddlin' thing I did twenty years ago while I'm standing there trying to [something much bigger and obviously more important] )

@MrTheonlyducky 6 лет назад

Piddlin in South Carolina means something completely different. Piddlin around. To waste time , just messing around. Your mama would yell at you to " quit piddlin around and do your chores."

What we call "june bugs" in New Jersey aren't anything like what she describes. They're big, but not THAT big...maybe the size of a dime. And they aren't iridescent. They're sorta...orange colored. Or brown. Brownish-orange. They fly into your house when you have the windows open in summer, and annoy you all night by tap-tap-tapping on the ceiling as they bumble around trying to find their way out.

That's normal when a southerner is brought back in touch with their southern roots. She likely wouldn't have gotten all of those roles had she been a dubbed the girl with the southern drawl, so she trained herself to speak another way. It's sort of like being bilingual and being able to flip flop between two languages.

@Dreadandcircuses 6 лет назад

My wife and I talked about the origin of "holler," meaning "yell." Two schools of thought: One is Appalachian: You live in a "holler," or small valley, and when you yell at your neighbor who lives at the other end of the holler, they can hear you. The other is 16th-17th century England: Variation of "halloo," also meaning to yell. I'm pretty sure Shakespeare pronounced it "holler," just like people in Tennessee still do.

@xx3voXguyxx 6 лет назад

I've lived 90% of my life in the South (between Georgia and Texas) but some of these I've never heard used before. Of course, I know "Bless your heart", Goobers (like the candy), hot chicken (very obvious) and June Bug.
