A true Southerner...
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption and that you don't "have" them but "pitch" them.
Nobody but a true Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, peas, beans etc make up a mess.
All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.
True Southerners know a good dog is worth its weight in gold.
A true Southerner makes friends standing in lines, they don't do queues, and when in line they talk to every-bod-y.
True Southerners aren't surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store
True Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk".
A true Southerner knows that "fixinto" can be used both as a noun, verb and adverb.
and finally a true Southerner knows 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 potato salad. (If the trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large bread pudding.) [/list]
