#QoTD #GHSouthernSlang
Do you have any regional slang that other people have no idea what it means? Or that may be confusing?

SOUTHERN SLANG:
Ain't (are not), All Y'all (plural of y'all), Upside (I'm gonna hit you upside your head), etc, as well as these phrases:

1. Bless your heart. ( A very empathetic phrase.)
"Oh, sweetheart, bless your heart. He really did that?"

2. Barking up the wrong tree. (When someone has their facts wrong.)
"You're barking up the wrong tree with that."

3. Aren't you precious? (A sarcastic remark to when someone is being offensive.)
"Oh, honey, aren't you precious."

4. Britches. (Your pants or underwear.)
"Pull up your britches, honey."

5. Boonies/sticks. (Where a countryfolk may live).
"Oh, you live way out in the sticks!"

6. Hillbilly/redneck (a Southern person).
"I'm a redneck!"

7. "Supper" (dinner).
"Time for supper!"

And these are just the more clear ones!

THE COLD WITHIN by unknown source

Six humans trapped by happenstance, in bleak and bitter cold,
Each one possessed a stick of wood, or so the story's told.

Their dying fire in need of logs, the first man held his back,
For of the faces 'round the fire, he noticed one was black.

The next man looking 'cross the way saw one not of his church,
And couldn't bring himself to give the fire his stick of birch.

The third one sat in tattered clothes, he gave his coat a hitch,
Why should his log be put to use to warm the idle rich?

The rich man just sat back and thought of the wealth he had in store,
And how to keep what he had earned from the lazy, shiftless poor.

The black man's face bespoke revenge as the fire passed from sight,
For all he saw in his stick of wood was a chance to spite the white.

The last man of this forlorn group did not except for gain,
Giving only to those who gave was how he played the game.

Their logs held tight in death's still hand was proof of human sin,
They didn't die from the cold without -- they died from the cold within.
