Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't "have" them, you "PITCH" them.
 

 
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess." .. and we ain't given our secrets away to no Yankees.

Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."

Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in: "Going to town, be back directly." The Cornish also know this secret, but they 'ain't tellin' either.

All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.

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

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

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

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

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.

To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by our Southerness:
            

Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your heart! 

And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff, bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a Second Language!

And now fer the Kentucky part.

Things I've learned about Kentucky.....

Possums sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.
There are 5000 types of snakes, and 4998 live in Kentucky.
There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Kentucky, plus a couple that nobody has seen before.

A tractor is NOT an all-terrain vehicle. They do get stuck.
Onced and Twiced are words.
It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy.
Upanunder means underneath.

There ain't no such thing as "lunch." There's "dinner" and then there's "supper."

"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "Did you eat?"
You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is.

You know you're from Kentucky if:..

17. Fried Catfish is the other white meat.
18. You know what lard is.
19. You understand these and forward them to your friends from KY. (and those who just wish they were).

And last but certainly not least, for those that are NOT born Southern specially Kentucky, but have lived here for a long, long time, all yawl need a sign to hang on your front porch that reads;
"I'm not originally from the South, but I got here as soon as I could."
