If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't understand you either. The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective 'big'ol,' as in ‘big’ol’ truck or big'ol' boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way.
If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go there.
In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.

AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biskits.

Add the words "bless his heart" or "bless her heart" to any insult, and it sounds so endearing. Example: "He hasn't got the brains God gave a flea, bless his heart." or "She's the homeliest thing I ever laid eyes on, bless her heart."
