Vaping, wow!

Some Southern Sheriffs were known for granting out of towners all expenses paid vacations to the county farm.

Generally when you hear something like that in the south...it's more like "bless their heart(s)"...usually uttered over a baby or a litter of puppies or kittens etc...something entirely innocent.

That is often the case...
I spent a few years in GA growing up and I heard it used in a negative fashion somewhat frequently.

You only see the cops like that along the Interstate...they know there is a bunch of evil doers passing through...

To realize southern hospitality you have to slow down and spend some time in the smaller towns etc... experience all the mom and pop establishments and the citizens...just traveling through states on major roads does not give a well rounded impression...

I believe that you can say that about any state or region. Tourists can be jerks; and it's been my observation that the nicest person you know can become an altogether different person when they are travelling.
The same can be said for online forums, a poster can be a real jerk yet be altogether different if you met them in person. (That doesn't apply to me of course... I'm my usual acid self wherever I go.)

I agree with the premise but "southern hospitality" is only realized in the south...(or where (true) southerners abound)...

A great place to experience southern hospitality is driving through Atlanta, especially on 75 at rush hour!

I have never been there, so would be blowing smoke if I disagreed with you.

You should go...it will change you like an epiphany...!

Funny how the friendliest jurisdiction can become your worst nightmare if you are not in compliance.

Some southern women have been known to have the vapors.

Bless their heart(s) can also be meant as a polite put down depending on the context. Meaning "He's dumb as a post", "uglier then sin", "mentally challenged", ect...........

The sweet little old lady at the beginning of our street was like that with that saying. Once you knew what or whom she was talking about you could discern her subtle meanings when using that phrase. And usually crack you up pretty good too
