As someone who was born in the South and my entire family is Southerners...i was taught early in my youth, that if I was about to talk "negatively" about someone...I had to end it with "Bless her/his heart". lol

SSG Michael Hartsfield For those that don't understand southern speak, when someone from the south says "Bless your heart" or "Bless your little heart" this is a way of dismissing someone in a condescending manner. It can also imply the person on the receiving end lacks intelligence.
If this is used, especially from a Southern woman, It’s her nice way of telling you to put on your grown up pants and deal with it. As said by a New Yorker “I could shout a parade of Yankee-style expletives in your face and it wouldn’t be nearly as bitchy as bless your heart.”

A1C Melissa Jackson - That's true. There is the sympathetic version and I truly like your version of "Bless his pea pickin little heart" In the south there is a art to telling someone off nicely.

A1C Melissa Jackson It's ok. :-). Hiding in plain sight. And I accept especially if that's sweet tea you're talking about.

SSG Michael Hartsfield Funny, Very amusing. I would say that the corollary to that is that once "Bless your heart." has been stated there is nothing you can retort with that doesn't make you look like an inflamed asshole in dire need of a proctologist. Well Played Ms. Haley. Well Played.
