<p>"A True Southerner says sir or ma'am, regardless of age, and even add a Mr. or Ms. to someone even just 5 years older. We still have the fear of Momma's slap on the back of the head to forgetting to do it."</p>

<p>When I've traveled down South and needed to stop for breakfast, "Biscuits & Gravy" are first on the menu. I'm too embarrassed to ask the wait staff, and keep forgetting to ask my family, what's in the gravy? Yep it shows I'm real ignorant of that! Consequently I never ordered it.</p> LOL, John I will have to rem…tag:iknifecollector.com,2015-03-22:3181080:Comment:12881112015-03-22T17:55:33.944ZJan Carterhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/JanCarter

<p>Just one small observation if any of you folks from the South make it over to England and find yourself in a queue at the post office , there are ALWAYS long queue's at the post office , It is best NOT to talk to people in the queue . They will assume that you are mad and probably dangerous , the idea is to pretend you are the only person there , although the occasional grumble is acceptable though it is normal to grumble to oneself in these situations. </p>
