I still live down south. Everyone here knows that a bagel is a huntin’ dawg. Shoot, you don’t have to know a lot to know that. Plus, shoot is our substitute for a dirtier word, which isn’t proper to say in polite company, just as dadgum is a crude inversion of a word that no God-fearing person would dare utter, even in a pique of anger. We say shoot and dadgum a lot.

I also know what "Bless your little heart" means. My grandma used to say that to me a lot. (I thought she was being nice)

Aw now... ‘bless your heart’ has more than one meaning. When you’re little and you skinned your knee and your mee-maw says it, it’s a very sweet thing to say. Or if you’re feelin’ puny.
