(60,010 posts)One can say many phrases in the South which can be taken in different ways depending on the tone of voice, how well you know the speaker.
I have found southern culture much like Japanese culture, in that it is all about community, appearing hospitable and polite, and different styles of the same language.
"Well bless your heart" is more insulting the more syrupy and sweet it sounds. And which word in the sentence is emphasized.

dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)Because F*** off also has multiple meanings and context.
The best all time way, tho, is to say " I think you are being a bit insigrievious at the moment"....or....
"That is really insigrievious of you to say that"
Handy word, can be used in any fashion.
And when they demand to know what the word means, give them a cool calm smile and tell them to go look it up.
With any luck, you won't see them for awhile.

(10,953 posts)I work in an office that is divided into two groups: the chosen and the serfs and is led by the evil step-mother who doesn't really care about the serfs. The chosen act like they walk on water. The serfs have had it.
Our manager, in true evil step-mother mode, traded away a serf position to obtain two much high paying chosen positions. In addition, the serfs are being kicked out of joint quarters and made to move to another room (part of which is shared with an employee from another division - Yup she couldn't even negotiate one complete room for us). Our new quarters are put together with whatever they could find and they couldn't even be bothered to paint the room. The layout and cubicle space works (except for our roommate) but it looks really ugly and worn).
It has become like an ugly divorce with the serfs not wanting anything to do with the otherside of the office. Our immediate supervisor told us that there will be a joint event and that EVERYONE would participate. That was when rebellion broke out (and I was actually the calmest one in the room).
Our manager is in deep denial about how bad the situation is in her own office and the role that she has played in where we are today. They try to blame it on a former employee. But you know, as Manager, the buck stops on her desk.
We are viewed as not being team players and not helping with team commraderie. What she is actually seeing is brute honesty of the situation and we have reached the point of not carrying anymore. Nothing will change. We want to move and just stay off to ourselves. I will say that our side of the office excels in teamwork amongst ourselves because we only have each other.

for thy dowry: be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as
snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a
nunnery, farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs marry,
marry a fool, for wise men know well enough what
monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go, and
quickly too. Farewell.
Shakespeare uses a double entendre in this passage from Hamlet. Officially a nunnery was a convent for unmarried women, but it was also slang for a whore house.

Another line I've been using recently since one of the terrorist torture reports came out is "Go rectally feed yourself." Have frequently directed it at Satan Cheney.

(3,919 posts)however, "well, bless your heart!" in the sweetest, drippiest, way works well, too - be sure to lightly place your limp hand over your heart while smiling very, very sweetly. then, dramatically look askance and roll your eyes. if you have a handkerchief or tissue, wave it softly in their direction as you walk away.
or, do not respond verbally at all - just turn around and walk away.
