I have been a wife and mother for over twenty years. Now I am becoming my husband's lover, too.
We owe it all to my fellow bloggers who gave me the courage to come out to my husband as a spanko.
I do feel like this is a New Beginning for us.

From a true southern

I wanted to share two videos that my daughter sent me.  As she put it "I swear Mom, I have heard you or some of your friends say every one of these things at some time or another." As a matter of fact they all sounded so normal to me I wasn't sure why anyone thought they were funny.  I did send these to some friends - had one of my yankee girlfriends asking for an interpreter for one or two saying.   So if you want to know what I sound like and some of the things I say - here you go.







And one it didn't exactly say that I told Mollie was the three ways southern women say no.

First there's "No." This means I don't want to, but you could probably change my mind.

Next come "Hell no." This means I really don't want to, but there is still a slight chance you could change my mind.''

And finally there's "OH, HELL NO!" Which means it AIN'T going to happen!

      I've been told I have a southern accent - I'm not ever sure there is such a thing. I sure don't hear an accent when I speak, LOL! But I have told LJ he can't come home if he begins sounding like a yankee!

  4. Enjoyed the three definitions of no although I don't remember thinking you have a southern accent.

  6. very cute :-) People might need an interpreter for the accent up in my part of the world too...but fortunately I grew up in a small town, not in the city, and so I do not have an accent. Hugs, Terps

      I think more people like to hear a southern accent than a northern one. Glad you got it all.

  10. ROFL! I saw wayyy too much of my life in these. My favorite is Bless your Heart! I've taught Christina that it's our way of softening the brutal truth...or getting away with a terrible insult. My Canadian friend called me a few nights ago, had something to SAY and when she ended it with Bless Her Heart, I thought I'd die from laughing!
    Thanks for sharing, PK! HUGS!!

      Oh and that is sooooo true. All you need to say the most horrible things in the world is a big smile and a 'bless their heart.'

      That is kind of interesting because I picked up "bless her/their/your/his/ etc.. hearts" from my dear mom...."
      I read a thesis once that the celtic people that settled in the southern United States and the celtic people that settled in other northern areas retained traces of their customs and language and it is still in evidence today.
      Although my mum was Canadian, she was a scot and had many saying that I didn't hear in other people's parents like:
      "what in Sam hill?"
      "bless your heart" (in response to anything)
      and lots of others....
      It was food for thought.
      hugs

    3. Lillie,
      That's cool about the Celtic. I really think it just shows that we are all more closely related than we think.

  11. Like I said, my mom's family is from down South.
    I have heard all the 'lady like' Southern sayings. LOL
    Thanks for the laugh at the end of a stressful day.

      Mollie has a very pronounced southern accent. LJ on the other hand got rid of his as soon as he realized he had one - about the age of eight or so. But these sure did tickle me.

  12. PK,

    Thanks for sharing. Maybe I was a Southerner in another life as I understood a lot of what the girls were saying:)

    I'm not s------g (we hear that here but some put a "you" at the end. Bless your Heart. is another one.

    I don't understand some of our UK accents.

    Love,

      It's surprising to me how many different accents come out of the UK. I doubt I'd get them all.

  14. All sounded PERFECTLY NORMAL to me, so what's all they hype???? Except, I say "don't get your drawers in a wad." And "Over yonder," and my Granny always thought something that smelled bad "smelled worse that a poe cat."

    I've mellowed out my accent, but after I've been back for a visit withing a couple of hours my accent is in full swing. It takes about a week to fade and my family goes NUTS!!!!!

    Thanks for sharing this, I got a good laugh, but it REALLY did sound COMPLETELY normal. :)

      Exactly!! It's just what people say. For me if I'm talking to a guy it's 'Don't get your drawers in a wad.' It it's a girl - panties! And yes it all sounded normal to me.

  15. I love these videos. I think that I must have been a southern belle in my previous life cause I know all those sayings and they can even spill out of my mouth when I am hanging around my friends from the south. But I am from California, born and raised. We don't have accents here. We just say what we want to say, look like we want to look and here in California, we have the best of all worlds. (Still think that I must be some kind of southern belle though)

I do say fixin to, Didya eat yet, bless her heart, and oh hell no...we like to say that it is hotter than a sinner on Sunday.

    It all sounded perfectly normal to me! Of course most from the North don't realize that Bless your heart is redneck for your stupid, or glad were not in your shoes! LOL too funny.

  20. I live in the South, and I've heard most of 'em sayin's either here or yonder. I've seen men after church services, pull a rifle bullet out of their coat pocket to discuss their deer huntin' story. I've prayed for a friend's dad who was in ICU after falling out of a deer stand. I've sat in a doctors office with my husband waiting for the doc and him to discuss where they went fishin', before any discussion on why we were there. ETC. ETC. There ain't no place like the South! - Bless Y'alls hearts that are unfortunate enough to live somewheres else. -Belle L.
