I would argue it is oozing rather than dripping.
Oozing is probably a better choice.
I guess it was my sarcasm that was dripping!

Most of these things only exist out in the sticks. Even some of these stereotypical Southern things, like an extreme amount of churches, are tied to rural areas, not the South. The North has more urban areas, which is why you rarely, if ever, see church after church or some guy with a pickup truck full of guns driving around.
One thing I have noticed is that the quality of driving goes up the further north one goes. People in the South never move over and capable of driving only two speeds: 10 over and 10 under.
Born and raised in N. Louisiana here. Spent time with the USAF in Fla and Ga with a 2 year break over in Turkey, finally settling in E Texas. I have always preferred my tea non sweetened. It's strange though my son who now lives over in Jackson, Ms will only order sweet tea.Sweet Tea: I am born and bred in South Louisiana. My family drinks tea with no sugar added. People are flabbergasted when we mention that. Now my wife, who grew up in SW Louisiana, drinks non-sweet tea.
And, I don't even mention my religious/non-religious affiliation or my political persuasion.
I disagree about the sweet tea part, and even though I live in E Texas I like the pork BBQ you find over in the eastern part of the deep south, Ga, Tn, the Carolinas. For me here in E Texas, I find one BBQ place that has some good pulled pork BBQ, but I have to drive about 35 miles to get to it. That's not to say I do not like a good brisket, or some of the hill country sausage.The people here in the south are truly polite folks, and no it isn't just pretend, that is, unless you are one of those pushy bigoted northerners who thinks that all southerners are stupid. Almost everything is slower and quieter here - except for the vehicles. The iced tea is sweet and so are the girls. Grits are eaten with butter - not cream & sugar. BBQ is not boiled - crawfish are. Folks here are not dumb - but they are honest. You can say just about anything you want to about someone - as long as you add "Bless his/her little heart..." to it... Whataburger is the best burger on the planet - Hardees/Carl's Jr. can't touch it. Smoked brisket done right is the food of the gods. Jalapenos should be a part of every meal. Camouflage is a color.
If you don't like God, guns, grits, gumbo, hunting, fishing, sweet tea and politeness - just stay up there where you are. We're doing fine without you - bless your little heart...
truer than true! if you have to merge GOOD LUCK!
Yup. And if you do manage to merge, expect to get the finger because, you know, who on Earth are you to merge into someone else's lane?

True Southerners know that "fixin" can be used both as a noun, verb and adverb.
I think they speed up or slow down just to get in your way and prevent you from merging. Countless times i'd merge on to the 4 lane county highway that took me to my house with only 1 car in view and you would think there was an invisible wall preventing them from moving over to the completely empty lane next to them. You either have to speed up to 25mph over the speed limit to get in front or come to a stop and wait for them to pass.
Never experienced anything like that anywhere else.
There are also plenty of Catholics around here, too, especially in the larger cities and closer to the Gulf Coast.
You probably can't hear it, but the guy giving you the finger is also saying "bless your little heart."
You really have not lived until you have had an elderly Southern woman insult you. They do it in a way that no one knows it is an insult until a while has passed.
This is a fact. I have a 93 year old great aunt that can insult you so cleverly you will say thank you when she is finished.
at least in Georgia (where I'm from), "y'all" is always plural. "You" is the singular, "y'all" is plural and "all y'all" means a whole bunch of folks.
