We play off of other people’s assumptions that we’re less intelligent because of the way we speak. The insults and double meanings go right over their heads, allowing us to avoid shabby displays of bluntness that offend the sensibilities. Saying “Bless your heart!” often prevents those of us that can be best described as “excitable” from strangling someone who DESPERATELY needs it!! At least I didn't explain how the more adjectives used in conjunction with, 'Bless your heart,' the worse the insult that is intended. 'Bless your heart,' is bad. 'Bless your little pea picking heart all to tiny pieces,' is much, much worse. Link to post Share on other sites

I like to smile and say, "aww I AP-PRE-CI-ATE you , too." Link to post Share on other sites

Duffield, SASS #23454 1,009 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 On 8/26/2018 at 1:29 PM, Smuteye John SASS#24774 said: I bet he used 'suh'. I hear that's close to how you pronounce the word for 'stupid' in some tribal language over in Asia. When dealing with Southerners, don't forget that we aren't really polite. We just talk around things and say things with multiple meanings or ways of interpretation instead of just coming out and insulting folks. We can be more inscrutable than any Oriental when we hand out insults. Duffield Link to post Share on other sites

Duffield We can definitely give the Japanese a run for their money when it comes to talking around something, using euphemisms or phrasing things so that there's multiple meanings.
