I am as southern as they come and I can think of the obvious response of ‘How Nice’. Which along with ‘Bless your Heart’ is Southern for Fuck You.

But a distinct southern Moniker? Drawing a blank.

I mean, Damn Yankee does not really work cause we have them just as bad.

Not looking for an argument. Just curious. I have always been intrigued with the variety of English we speak here in the South. Especially the tremendous variety from different regions.

Totally non related. Do you use the word ’tumped’? As in ‘I tumpted it over’. It was common in Louisiana and Arkansas but I never hear it in the eastern part of the South

Have a nice evening.

Tue Sep 4, 2018, 08:22 AM

around here it meant a caucasian person who revels in ignorance and stupidity. It is based on demonstrated moral character or what was expected based on one's family history. More precisely, the lack of moral character. Thus, simply being poor had little to do with it. It was used to describe both poor and those of means. Poor people could be considered good, honest folks, so the moniker did not apply. My grandparents thought it most definitely applied to the likes Hank Williams Sr. It's a pejorative that's sometimes misunderstood outside the south, so I won't type it outright, but the first word is a color. The second is what you toss in a waste bin.

During the run-up to the other day of infamy, 2016-11-08, I kept telling my kids that the orange ass was taking us back to 1968 (and then had to explain about all the riots and troubles around the country) and before. We seem to have zipped through the McCarthy era. When in this hell are we now?!?

Is it the 1920s now? Who taught these shit-for-brains people?

"The richest 1 percent of Americans now takes home about 20 percent of total income, and owns over 40 percent of the nation’s wealth. These are close to the peaks of 1928 and 2007." - Robert Reich, Sept. 2, 2018.

This horrid, racist and ignorant woman reflects far too many people now boldly spewing their hate.

It's like a contagious infection or disease that's revived and raging to dangerous levels. And untreated.

Old Crank (I want that name), and it's really not who they all are top to bottom. Thank all the gods.

Remember the incredible shrinking Republican Party? We like to think those still capable of some decency shouldn't vote with the others if they aren't racists, but it's not so simple for them. They have a lot of things they've been trained to care about, with most of their energy devoted to opposing anything they see as liberal.

Not that I'm making any excuses for ANYONE who's been voting right. Those have all adopted the moral and intellectual corruption that has taken over the right -- top to bottom.

Oh, yeah, who could ever forget the Obama years? Trolling for assassins 24/7 on Fox and other right-wing media, until they were called on it. On political forums chortling fake outrage that Michelle was such a slob that she dropped food all down her chest at a state dinner, humiliating America before the world. And amazingly real outrage when she suggested we feed our children salad.

But only from some. Blame the internet for giving these nasty creeps an audience most of their neighbors won't provide.

17. When Black Men Stop Playing Sports
Mon Sep 3, 2018, 11:06 AM
Sep 2018

I get that sports is lucrative for the men who play sports, but a large amount of white wealth has been built on the backs of the men (including black men) who play those sports. Phil Knight would not be worth around $35 billion if not for black men playing sports. Most likely men like Jerry Jones would still be wealthy without black men, but men like Roger Goodell and the men that came before him would not have gotten $44 million per year salaries without the help of black men. Even when the men who buy these team are wealthy before they are wealthy black men help increase their wealth. I highly doubt cities and states would be willing to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to build stadium if it were not for the billions of dollars that black men help to bring into sports leagues. So, another question is what will white men do when black men stop playing sports for them, making them rich, and increasing their wealth?

if the black NFL players decided to form their own league? Resign from the NFL. let an all white league go at it and see where that goes. It would make it interesting, at the end of the season they could have a final between the two leagues.

trump has brought all the white trash in and out of the swamp, they come out to spew hate, then they go back to their swamp.
