Jesus, just be glad she didn’t say “ bless your heart”.
That’s how you can say something nasty about someone in the South.
Just follow whatever you say with “ bless his/ her heart.”
‘My but you are an arogant, ignorant Yankee, bless your heart...”
Having lived in the South (Austin and Memphis) for 9 years folks told me “Bless his/her heart”= They’re really stupid too.
