Uglier than homemade sin

i’m from northern alabama, and i’m not 100% sure this is completely southern, but it killllls me every time i hear an older relative say it. it’s so brutal. another one is “you think you’re shit on a stick, but you’re just a fart on a splinter!” there are many more, but those are the first two to come to mind. they just don’t make sayings like they used to.

southern phrases that have haunted me always but also lately

‘hug my neck’ haunts me always. lovingly. just pops in my head: a hug, but not just anywhere, hug the neck, which irl can be anywhere without question, but the invitation is always as such ‘can’t speak?!’ haunted me lately, popped up and startled me. so audacious. you see someone avoiding you or just making their way to speak to others and you bark out ‘can’t speak?!’ pronounced cayn-t. and always as a 'non-plussed yet still offended' question

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

not being on tiktok

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends - fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
