I had some things to say this week. But I opted for humor. And yes, I can post this without fear of retribution. After all, I am a southern woman born and bred!
ENJOY!
Hope y'all have a marvelous weekend!
Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!

That was just too funny!! Love it, and will be sharing the link. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo yankee who's never lived in the south will have a CLUE about Duke's mayo. Nor will they "get" the finer art of the "nice nasty." :-)
ReplyDeleteTerri- I loved it too! I've grown up hearing most of those words and phrases! :)
ReplyDeleteKeetha- So true! I have a friend who is the MASTER of the 'nice nasty'. She's a hoot! LOL
When we moved to Virginia, one of the first meetings I went to with my peers is when I heard "dumb as dirt" and "bless your heart"...I learned quickly from Southern women becasue I did not "fall off the turnip truck"...:)JP
ReplyDeleteThe video was hilarious, and so 'southern' :) Those ladies could easily be my friends and neighbors!
ReplyDeletebless her heart - these women did a great series of clips. Some of it is really just rural stuff like tree stands and dumb as dirt.
ReplyDeletethanks sugar
JP- Hahahaha! You're a riot! :)
ReplyDeleteKathy- They ARE my friends and family. LOL
bill- LOL I grew up hearing pretty much all of those words/phrases. The one that I LOVE is the Dukes Mayonnaise one. We never use any other mayo in this house. :)
That was hilarious. I may not talk with a southern accent but I use all of those phrases. Oh my gosh that is so funny. They didn't say Heeeeell Yeah though. I of course called my grandmother meemaw too.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with my grand parents saying, " come over here and give me some sugar.:)
Of course, there was always a pitcher of sweet tea in the fridge too.
I enjoyed that. Have a great weekend.
This got me smiling :)

ReplyDeleteThat was fun, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've lived in Georgia for ten years. Some of these people I worked with, some were my neighbors, and I swear to God that one was my former sister-in-law... bless her heart.
ReplyDeleteKim- Glad you enjoyed it! There are three more and, during one of them, one of the women says, "I can't believe she's getting married during football season!" That is SO ME! LOL
ReplyDeleteLucy- Good! I'm glad!
Alessandra- I call people 'goober' all the time. There are a few other things I use from that video as well. LOL
Debby- Glad you enjoyed it!
Robin- LOL You're such a hoot! BTW- I still can't comment at your blog. I have no idea what's up.
