“Or as they say it in Alabama, “Bless your heart.”
We used to have this Southern Lady from Alabama attending our church. My sheltered wife and her church friends thought that this ‘lady’ was just being a good person with “Bless your heart.”
Until, I cracked the code for them.
Now, they use that term with church people, neighbors and relatives who are driving them up a wall.
The same southern Belle had another favorite saying, “That is just fantastic”! That was shorthand for two letters.
