See, you act all polite, but really it's being mean in a nice way. Like saying "Bless his/her heart..." seems to make whatever you say about that person following that phrase acceptable here in the South. (ie. "Bless her heart, she ain't never gonna get a man.")

I still cringe everytime I hear someone say "bless his/her/your heart..." because, having grown up in the South, I just know the condescension that's dripping from that statement.
Fine, fine. I'll be nice from now on. But it doesn't mean I'm gonna just let someone else win.
