And speaking of the cold, how about this one...

"It's colder'n a well-digger's butt in the middle of Alaska!!"

And I too say or have said all the stuff currently in this thread. But I've been here for nigh on 44 years so I reckon it's alright.

I was in Fayette Alabama last week announced myself as from another town and as a clerk in the local wal-mart was giving me directions, she paused and said

"Do you know where Bass & BucK used to be" , cause its just right next door"...

A Southerner knows that "fixin" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.

YES! My northerner relatives always make fun of us when we say "Fixin", like "It's okay, we're fixin' to leave."

It's okay though, I'd rather say "Y'all" than "Youse guys" any day.

getchasome (means help yourself to ____)

When I visited Buffalo NY they gathered round me and starred at me like a bug in a jar, going just "say something anything". They did teach me to put gravy on my french fries, ya'll try it..

I once used kicking butt and taking names and some people didn't get it.

I also heard a man tell a women she was built like a brick "you know what" house. She got livid and I had to explain it was a compliment.

some people didn't get it.

Had the same problem when I suggested a woman might have to

talk to her unruly child by hand.

She was just bedazzled.

You know you are Southern if:

You think people who complain about the heat in their states are sissies.

You have seen people wear bib overalls at funerals.

You know cow patties are not made of beef.

Someone you know has used a football schedule to plain their wedding.

A Mercedes Benz is not as much of a status symbol as a Ford F350 extended crew cab truck is.

You learned to fire a gun before you learned how to multiply.

You know someone (or you yourself) have a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

You are not surprised to find movie rentals, ammunition, fuel, beer, bait and a deli all in the same store.

This thread is great! So much of this applies to me, being from West Virginia.

Head down by Bailey's fence there a little ways, and mind them potholes now, ya hear?

If you are Southern, you know that during the summer, the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to or from the door, but by the time of day and availability of shade.

I use this a lot...

FIXING TO/fixin' - about to, or thinking about starting

I said it tonight on IM to someone and they said, you sure are southern using that.

If Not For Grace · Aug 22, 2006

Fixing is up there with ya'll and ain't--I can't not use it.

This man has to be who Jeff Foxworthy learned his trade from.

How about "Fount" and "crunk" (Southern versions of past tense)

Examples:

I fount you something at the yard sales yesterday...

Went out there yesterday and the truck would not crank for the love of spit, the wife got in her this morning, headed to them yard sales and she crunk rite up
