I've overheard all these things during the past week either at:
Church
Latte Da Coffee Shop
Bass Pro
my house (or yours)
1. Does this camo come in Pink?
2. How's your Mama and Daddy?
3. My Daddy gave me these pearls when I was little.
4. Don't use the dark meat in your chicken salad. They'll discuss you.
5. Save me some toilet paper rolls - I've gotta teach Sunday School this week.
6. I'm fixin' to make some sausage balls.
7. I'm fixin' my hair cause I'm fixin' to go to Wednesday night dinner.
8. The Piggly Wiggly deli fixes fried okra on Tuesdays.
9. Take this iced tea out to Maw Maw on the front porch.
10. Can y'all monogram a dog collar?
11. How can I already be out of hairspray?
12. It's in the top of the chester drawers.
13. I'm all stove up.
14. I left my casserole dish in the fellowship hall.
15. She didn't even bother to put the KFC on her own plate.
17. I've gotta stop at Greer's and pick up juice for communion.
18. This humidity's makin' my hair flop over.
19. That is so tacky.
20. My nails are wet. I can't even mash the buttons on my phone.
21. Dang it, I need new hot rollers.
22. It's okay, Jesus drank wine.
23. Quick! Shoot it!
Have you recently said any of these things?
Well, perhaps it was you I overheard, bless your heart!

I say "I'm fixin" to do something all the time. Doctors I used to work with used to make fun of me about that.
Thank God I live in the South!
now this made me smile. you lovely Southerners sure have a great way of saying things :)
These made me laugh. I hear "fixin" and "mash" all the time. My husband (who's a yankee, bless his heart) once said, "i"m stoved up!" At my confused expression, he explained he heard some old guy at the gym say it. Now we say it to each other (joking of course) all the time. Usually at the gym.
"chester drawers." All the time, and yes, I'm frequently "all stoved up."
I had to pop back in and tell you I read this to CC and Joe and we had the best time laughing over it and ourselves. Because we say about half of the list between the three of us:}
Your blog is so stinking adorable. Thanks for stopping by mine too! Make sure to like me on FB - I am going to look for you there so I can follow!
Thanks for the laughs!

I'm gonna fix me a glass of ice tea after reading this! It drives my Brooklyn-born husband (but converted Southerner) crazy when I say "fix me" whatever or "get me" whatever. And no matter how hard he tries to change me, "pin" sounds the same as "pen."
what a sweet southern post!
These are great! I can see someone using these as writing prompts.
#16 is my favorite!
LOL!! Oh you nailed us Southerners:) Love these and yes I have heard most of them also. I was waiting to read "Bless your heart" then I did:)
Spend several years in California and tried to educated the folks there about the niceties of Southern savings and speech. I do believe I had a few of my friends there saying "Bless her heart" by the time I moved. What fun!
These are so funny--and fun! I've heard every one of them!
I am thinkin' that I said almost everyone of these within the past month! I love being a Southerner!
Love this! As a northerner I don't really hear these things very much, though we do say "It's so tacky" - Don's parents were from Texas and Oklahoma - His mom always said "Well, I'll swan." Have no idea what she meant by that!
Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up this week.

Heard them all many times before here in Ga. I'm going to read them again "when I get a round to it."
It all sounds about right to me. LOVE it!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
I'm your newest follower and will be back for more humor and all Southern stuff! LOL!
I'm following your FB page, too. I'm fixin' to tell everyone about you! Bless your heart, Helen :)
I read several of your posts and this one was the cincher ~ I'm now your newest follower (: y'all
Oh my! Love this list!! Reminds me of home. I've always wondered what "stove up" means. Any clue? My favorite was the chicken salad warning " they'll discuss you."
Lol these are too funny. Especially the toilet paper roll one. My sister uses those in S.S. all the time!
Thanks for stopping by our blog! :)
