Words Only Southerners Use

If you grew up in a household where everyone from up north is considered a Yankee, then you'll be able to relate to these words and sayings that only us folks in the south use. I am literally laughing as I type, because all of these are oh so true! Check out some of my favorites below, and be sure to look at the whole list here from  Pretty Southern.

• Y'all - never 'you guys'
• Fixin' To - about to do something
• Lagniappe - a little extra
• Buggy - as in shopping cart
• Sweeper - not vacuum cleaner
• Access Road - Service Road
• Bless Your Heart - nice way of saying you are stupid
• Pocketbook - purse
• Po' Boy - a delicious sandwich used with Louisiana french bread

• Honey - used for everyone - as in 'Hey Honey'
