Would you like some grammar lessons to put on those grits as well?   :-)

I have to agree.... Butter and Sugar where how I was raised.

I'm going to take issue with your response to #16.  I'm originally from
the mountains of North Carolina (fairly close to the Tennessee border)
and I grew up eating grits with butter and sugar.

11.) A true Southerner knows that "fixin'" can be used as a noun, a
verb, or an adverb.

I'm fixin' to forward this to some of my friends! Or "fiddenta", as we
say around here.

13.) Only true Southerners make friends while standing in lines. We
don't do "queues", we do "lines," and when we're "in line," we talk to
everybody!

I was so confused when, as a child, I moved from the deep south to New
York and heard people talking about waiting "on line." I kept looking at
the floor trying to find the line they were standing on. Thankfully, a
year later we left NY and headed south again!

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

A pet peeve of mine. When Hollywood tries to imitate southerners, it has
actors saying "y'all" to just one person. Drives me nuts.

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

With salt, and sometimes cheese. Never with sugar.

19.) Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea
indicates the need for sugar and lots of it - we do not like our tea
unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.

Actually, in a good southern restaurant you don't have to say "sweet."
If you order tea, it will be sweet-because why on earth would anyone
want tea that WASN'T sweet?!

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

In the south, you can utter all sorts of insults without being
considered rude if you follow them up with a "bless his/her heart." For
example, "That Jane just isn't very bright, bless her heart" or, "Joe's
collards always taste like dirt, bless his heart."
