"bless your heart" is occasionally used unironically to comfort a friend or something, it's rare but it does happen My granny would bust it out whenever kids would surprise her with anything like "oh you got that whole lawn mowed already, bless your heart"

I know this is a joke, but I recently learned a sentence an English as a second language teacher uses as an example: "I didn't steal her money." It changes meaning for each word when that word is the emphasis.

As a lad with moderate homegrown Southern credentials, spent years on the farm where the cows had to be fed at five AM and Pappy was PISSED that he got suckered into buying like twenty emus, everybody listen to me here: "Bless your heart" is not primarily used as a sarcastic or rude phrase. At least in the region I'm from, it was by far more often used in seriousness, and I can confirm that I definitely didn't live in an exceptionally kind area free of all snippiness and sarcasm.

Yeah it’s an incredibly diverse phrase, but you’ll never hear it delivered as a straight “gently caress you.” It can be an expression of genuine affection or gratitude. It can be a patronizing head pat. It can be a polite way to articulate disgust or cringe or mockery. It can mean that the blesséd subject is too innocent for this world, or that they’re doing a thankless job, or that they’re wasting their efforts, or that they’ve been blindsided and gosh I’m glad that’s not me. But it’s inherently condescending, even if it’s delivered with benign intent. You would never say it from a context of conflict in equality, or to show aggression, or to bait someone into response. It kinda means “I’m dunking on this kid,” or “nice try sweaty.”

No one realizes the true nuance to a proper southern dialect. Besides, its funnier to convince yankees that its always meant in a sarcastic manner. Besides, its more often true when applied to them anyway.

Wong Dongson posted:Animals that would be called vermin [Or varmint if you like] will be pretty well killed with practically anything you manage to shoot them with. Yes, it is theoretically possible to undergun a small rodent I suppose. It's pretty hard though. At what point does a well adjusted mind go "No, gently caress it, this animal isn't dead enough. I actively need to see it blow into the smallest amount of little pieces. Let no part of the animal remain to defile my beloved land!"?

My Lovely Horse posted:What's the heraldic description of a man attempting to hide an erection by imitating a cat? Traditionally human figures weren't shown in the full range of attitudes (i.e. poses) as non-human animals, but since he'd be imitating a cat, you could describe it as a man passant pizzled, because there is absolutely a formal heraldic term for when something has a righteous boner.

I was sure that could not have been a thing, a wikipedia trip later I stand corrected. Here's a nugget of information about how lion peepees can be serious business in Sweden: quote:Prior to 2007, the lion on the coat of arms of the Nordic Battlegroup featured a pizzle, but in 2007 the commander ruled that the lion's penis had to be removed. Since civilian women are often sexually abused in the war zones of the world, they did not consider the depiction of a penis appropriate on a uniform worn into battle. However, this decision has been questioned by some Swedish heraldists, including heraldic artist Vladimir Sagerlund, who has asserted that coats of arms containing lions without a penis were historically given to those who had betrayed the Swedish Crown.
