A "
Southernism" is a word or phrase found in the
southern region of the
United States that so flabbergasts you with its
profundity or
stupidity that you remember it until your dying day.
My most recent Southernism
discovery was from a coworker. While explaining her daughter's likeness to her father she was quoted as saying,"She was dug outta' her daddy's
ass with a
grubhoe!" Now what a "grubhoe" is, I cannot say, but I'm dying to find out.
