Like Dixie Clothes?? Why not get some online!

"If you enjoyed fishing but were never able to bait your own hook...you could have been a girly-girl."

"If you have ever voluntarily worn a dress to school...you could have been a girly-girl."

"If you've never held a frog because you were afraid you'd get warts...you could have been a girly-girl."

"If you've never gone swimming in a ditch after a big rain ...you could have been a girly-girl."

"If your mama didn't have to explain why little girls couldn't play outside without their shirts like little boys...you could have been a girly girl."

Regarding his role as co-designer of the Confederate battle flag, Congressman William Porcher Miles of South Carolina wrote the following statement to Samuel Barrett of Georgia in the Summer of 1861: The flag should be a token of humble acknowledgement of God and be a public testimony to the world that our trust is in the Lord our God.

Miles was clearly making reference to battle flag's Saint Andrews Cross. Furthermore, because this particular view of the flags design was so widely held and respected throughout Dixie, Southerners began to refer to it as their Southern Cross.

To most Southerners, the Confederate flag represents our Honored heritage.Why is it here in America, we are suppose to accept all life styles and cultures, except the Southern Heritage?

True Southerner

Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a 'hissie' fit and a 'conniption' fit.

Nobody but a true Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc. make up a mess.

A true Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."

A true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in "Going to town, be back directly."

All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is.

True Southerners know instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. (If the trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'.)

True Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.

No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.

True Southerners know that "fixin" can be used both as a noun, verb and adverb.

True Southerners make friends standing in lines.

True Southerners never refer to one person as "y'all."

True Southerners know grits come from corn, and how to eat them.

Every true Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that redeye gravy is also a breakfast food; that fried green tomatoes are not breakfast food.

When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know you're in the presence of a genuine Southerner.

And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 on the freeway - you say, "Bless her heart" and go your way.
