Southerners are reticent to demand someone do something, even the young'uns. It's much more polite to 'let' them do it. If they don't you politely whup up on em.

[Desparado]

I met a waitress in Miami who had worked for a while in Texas. She asked me if I knew what a "lil heffer" was. She said the men always used to call her that. She wasn't too happy when we told her it was a young cow. While I'm at it, you wouldn't want to tangle with some one who was "ill as a snake"! And You'ins could bring in the groceries if you wouldn't care to help me out.

Bet he kept those cast iron skillets in the oven too, didn't he?

I have been saying "I'll let you"...all my life without knowing the rationale for it!

[RJayneJ]

Sounds reasonable to me. By the way, don't ask the dog to watch your lunch while you go answer the phone. };^D)

[MEG33]

"Lil heifer" is a term of teasing endearment ,I believe,although it is a young cow.

[knak]

I always thought "you'ins" was a northern word? I always say "you guys" whether they're guys or not.

[CindyDawg]

Oh no. I'Ve "had this out" with you guys before. We have ya'll and y'all. There is a difference

"ya'll come in vs "y'all " come back :')

Will wonders never cease.

Yep, the cows grow longer legs on the downhill side.

A pee can is an empty coffee can one takes on long car trips

but all the boys get a nehi in the bottle to drink at the start of the trip and you empty them "pee bottles" when you get to where you were goin.

I met a young Gyrene a couple of months ago who just got back from Gitmo.
He loved it, too.

Pol Salad Annie, btw, is the theme song that Lee Rodgers & Melanie Morgan play whenever Ann Coulter is on their show on KSFO... great song!

[Eaker]

They got grease in their grits??!
That's sacrilegious!!

Some of us that don't make the big money gotta go 50/50 lard/butter.

Never did like you rich folks!!!

;<)

I stopped at a gas station out in the middle of nowhere about 3:00 AM one night. Some truck driver went in too, and the clerk asked him if he'd been in Gitmo. (His shirt had a Gitmo patch on it). The clerk had spent time there. I piped in that I'd lived there. The next person to come thru the door heard us, and said he'd spent years there. We had a little Guantanamo reunion then and there.

Which reminds me:

"Las nite, the nite befo, twenny fo men was at my do.
I got up an let em in, hit um in de head wit a rollin pin.
Is evybody ready? Nehi!!!!". This was the chant called
out during games of hide and seek to allow the players
time to hide and a shout of Nehi meant not ready.

598 posts and nothing about tail gaiting. Got to have them for picnics and socializing.

A true southerner names his male children "Bo" or "Beau" and the female children "Dixie".
