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.

I’m not sure if this is a phrase I spun up or heard it somewhere in passing. Its very useful when conveying a distain for someone’s taste.

i’ve lived in both the South and the North throughout my life and while i don’t use it frequently, i will say Southerners really went off with this one. it’s even meaner when said to a non-Southerner who doesn’t know what it means… THE backhanded compliment of all time

‘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
