    New Sh%t Southern Women Say

    For the last 10+ years, we’ve been big fans of the ladies at the Southern Women channel. Since their first video dropped in 2012, we’ve loved every time Julia Fowler and her team produced something new. We’re big fans of Words Only Southerners Say and all those lovely colloquialisms since we love the south.

    Check out Episode 18 of Sh%t Southern Women Say

    A couple of our favorite Southern Sayings from this new episode include:

    “My ears are burnin’. Somebody’s talkin’ ‘bout me.”

    “Come and get it while the gettin’s good.”

    “You act just like your mama.”

    “You didn’t even put a dent in your dinner.”

    “The madder I got, the thicker my accent got.”

    “You can’t change a man unless he wears diapers.”

    “Those two are tighter than butt cheeks.”

    “It’s too bad her attitude isn’t as pretty as her outfits.”

    “Much obliged!”
