Our language is charming, not old fashioned
Updated Mar 09, 2021;
“Southern Ladylike Words” was my blog post that went viral over 5 years ago. People went crazy over the charming words, proving our rich language gumbo isn’t out of date. It’s what holds us together in an otherwise dumb-downed world.
We have the Vulcan, bona-fide rockets, a giant peach, sparkling beaches and our own language. From the melodic pronunciation of the words to clever phrasing, we say what we mean and mean what we say but it seems to tumble out all cattywhompus to the unfamiliar.
If anyone claims our language is outdated or old fashioned, they’re missing the point. Our Southern style of communicating is like a journey. Getting there is half the fun.
