    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]

    Sorry. This one's wrong. "Fixin' to" is strictly a verb.

    Y'all are makin' me hungry with that last one but "bread puddin'"!? You must be jokin'. I'll have Bannana Pudding please and the proper pronunciation is " 'nanner puddin' " .

    Also...

    A true southerner doesn't waste time using complete sentences when one word will do. Example: The phrase "Did you eat?" becomes "d'geet?".

    A true southerner (at leaast in my neck of the woods) doesn't have a refrigerator we have an ice-box.

    Not exactly, although I'm guessing its' less than a "whole mess of"


    All right "fixin" is only a verb and it's 'nanner puddin', but my source assures me bread pudding and pound cake are perfectly acceptable alternatives. Now I'm hungry!
