one of my most favored "fuck you ever so very much" phrases. I live in the South and have come to believe it is as good as "bless his/her heart" after saying something that could be considered unkind.
Yes.
I will proceed, and you're correct of course about that choir preaching thing.

I just returned from the heart of Florida, visiting friends who are living in a situation that almost never allows them input from or access to "the choir". I've been sending them stuff that proves the rest of the country is not like Florida. I can't (yet) convince them to visit DU daily.
So when I posted this little thing I think I had them in mind.

I'm Southern, too, & the written "bless his/her heart" isn't as much fun as the verbal one. The inflection is what makes it.



Your friends would love DU. I hope you keep prodding them to join.
