Southern Women

Tootsie: Is this Southern night? I saw your other thread.
Funny, a gullfriend sent me that a few months ago.
Question though? What do you call a Native new Yorker who calls SoWal home too? A Snotherner?

I should start thread about things I had to get used to. Having bought 3 years ago, initially it was defintely a culture shock for me.

1) Took me a while to accept and like someone calling me Ma'am.
2) That Southern people bring gifts to weddings, and Northerners cash rolled up in a cannolli.
3) My initial shock when we wet to get breakfast sandwich locally in SoWal and was asked if I wanted any gizzards with that.
4) That we were on Southern time, and things were a lot slower paced vs. N.Y.
5) Y'all vs. Yo in New York
6) That Southern men have hair still in their 40's.
7) That people were very polite.

I have grown to really love it all.

I still don't like to be called Ma'am,, and I was raised saying it to "older" people. guess that's why its always been a shocker when someone calls me ma'am - I don't feel like a ma'am... but I do say "ya'll" every other word. something they left out here, is whenever you meet someone new, you ask: what church do you go to? I love saying "I'm Catholic, but I don't go to church..." many southerners won't like any part of that answer.

Mango, come to Texas and you'll see lots of other stuff you never heard of!!

Been to Texas a few times. I couldn't get over seeing a church every other block. :shock: My hands got tired making the sign of the cross.
My sis lives there.

Yep, forgot your sister lives here, huh? Yes, we're definitely in the bible belt.

That's how I felt initially, but I realized that it was just a sign of respect by Southerners when people older than me called me Ma'am.
Guess it is just what Southerner refer to a lady as.

Mango, the south is also referred to as "The Bible Belt," that's the reason there is a church on every corner.

We need lots of divine intervention!

You mean there really isn't a belt designed to hold a Bible?

I was afraid I might go up in flames like the vamps on Buffy the Vampire slayer!

And for all you Northerners who think your children are Southern because they've developed a drawl after moving down there...remember: Just because the cat has her kittens in the oven, it doesn't make 'em biscuits!
