These Hilarious Southern Sayings Are Sure to Impress the Locals

Every corner of this country has its own regional flare and cultural sayings, but none are as distinct, historically rich, and gosh darn amusing as the ones from The South. As a common Northerner (I moved to The South from the Pacific Northwest), it was quite an eye opener the first time I heard most of the people around me talking in the familiar Southern accent and downright confusing the first time I heard someone say, "I might could..."! Whether or not you're currently a local to any of the states south of the Mason Dixon, or just reminiscing about your younger years or times spent with family, reading through these sayings will make you want to whip up a batch of biscuits, pour another glass of sweet tea while rocking on a porch, or stroll down a driveway dripping with moss. You know you overheard those church ladys at the Sunday potluck saying, "Bless her heart..." or would catch the tail end of "I'll knock you into the middle of next week looking both ways for Sunday!" as you ran away from your mama when you got in trouble. These sayings are sure to bring back a host of memories and a ton of laughter and of course, some Southern pride.
