Question 1 of 10
1. This first Southern-ism I heard often, since I was an uppity Yankee, bless my heart, "That feminine pronoun's organ of smell is characterized by an upward tilt potentially resulting in suffocation from condensed water cascading from an atmospheric disturbance."

Answer: (One Word, 9 Letters)
Question 2 of 10
2. During my attempt at playing poker in New Orleans, I was delighted to win a large pot of chips until the guy next to me said, "possibly a severely visually impaired arboreal rodent obtains via search the fruit of an oak at the present time or soon thereafter."

Answer: (One Word, 5 Letters)
Question 3 of 10
3. My Aunt Edna said of my ex-boyfriend, "that masculine pronoun descended with the assistance of gravity from the unappealing woody plant and made contact with all offshoots of that plant on the course downward." What did he fall from according to this Southernism?

Question 4 of 10
4. I recently had to have my first ever cavity filled and my mother-in-law, noting my agitated state, said I was, "suffering from anxiety bearing resemblance to an considerably linear flexible appendage of a domesticated feline within a portion of a building containing a capacity amount of seats resting upon curved supports." What was the last word of this deciphered Southernism?

Answer: (One Word, 6 Letters, Plural)

Question 6 of 10
6. As it is Thanksgiving, my Southern husband has been sneaking bites of dinner all day, and he told me the collard greens would, "cause the masculine pronoun's moveable organ within the oral cavity to strike sharply his convoluted mass of gray matter from its place." What body part is doing some damage in this Southernism?

Answer: (One Word, 6 Letters)
Question 7 of 10
7. Given the destructive habits of Southern Mother Nature, it's pretty horrifying to hear, "the masculine pronoun was as blithe as a destructive, funnel-shaped windstorm within a tract of terra firm containing manufactured dwellings."

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This first Southern-ism I heard often, since I was an uppity Yankee, bless my heart, "That feminine pronoun's organ of smell is characterized by an upward tilt potentially resulting in suffocation from condensed water cascading from an atmospheric disturbance." Can you identify the last word of this one?

Answer: rainstorm

This Southern colloquialism is commonly spoken as, "She's so stuck up she'd drown in a rainstorm." The colloquialism is pretty self-explanatory as it describes an individual that is perceived to act better than other people.
2. During my attempt at playing poker in New Orleans, I was delighted to win a large pot of chips until the guy next to me said, "possibly a severely visually impaired arboreal rodent obtains via search the fruit of an oak at the present time or soon thereafter." Hidden within this Southernism is what kind of nut?

Answer: acorn

While I was thrilled with my win, it was short lived as the gentlemen at the table brought me down to earth when he said, "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then." It basically means that everyone gets lucky from time-to-time, but it isn't necessarily a result of skill.
3. My Aunt Edna said of my ex-boyfriend, "that masculine pronoun descended with the assistance of gravity from the unappealing woody plant and made contact with all offshoots of that plant on the course downward." What did he fall from according to this Southernism?

Answer: tree

Although I thought my ex-boyfriend was handsome, Aunt Edna had a different opinion telling me I was better off since "He fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down." This was her cheeky, Southern way of telling me she though my boyfriend was ugly.
4. I recently had to have my first ever cavity filled and my mother-in-law, noting my agitated state, said I was, "suffering from anxiety bearing resemblance to an considerably linear flexible appendage of a domesticated feline within a portion of a building containing a capacity amount of seats resting upon curved supports." What was the last word of this deciphered Southernism?

Answer: chairs

It was not comforting to be told, "You are as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs." My mother-in-law was trying to humor me by telling me I was acting very nervous. Quite true, and even truer when BOTH of my first fillings had to be redone a second time.
5. We experienced bad service at the Huddle House, and my father-in-law scoffed of our waitress, "that feminine pronoun lacks as much intelligence as a receptacle containing consolidated mineral matter." What was the last word of this Southernism?

Answer: rocks

When criticizing a Southerners intelligence, "She is dumber than a box of rocks," is pretty common to hear. Again, self explanatory, but they are comparing someone's intelligence to inanimate objects. Ouch!
6. As it is Thanksgiving, my Southern husband has been sneaking bites of dinner all day, and he told me the collard greens would, "cause the masculine pronoun's moveable organ within the oral cavity to strike sharply his convoluted mass of gray matter from its place." What body part is doing some damage in this Southernism?

Answer: tongue

Definitely a compliment to be told by a Southerner that your cooking, "will make your tongue slap your brains out." Especally when that cook was once a Yankee and had to learn the hard way the means to her husband's heart. This colloquialism simply means that the food is very, very good.
7. Given the destructive habits of Southern Mother Nature, it's pretty horrifying to hear, "the masculine pronoun was as blithe as a destructive, funnel-shaped windstorm within a tract of terra firm containing manufactured dwellings." Where was the location identified in the end of this Southern-ism?

Answer: trailer park

As horrifying as hearing, "He was happier than a tornado in a trailer park" is, it's not nearly as horrifying as seeing the damage that spawned this colloquialism. Both thunderstorms and hurricanes generate severe tornadoes in the South, and I have seen many a mobile home in storm-ravaged areas reduced to rubble.

The homes literally looks like a car that has been rolled 15 times down the highway by an auto accident.
8. Being a Yankee, it was difficult adjusting to the relaxed pace Southerners enjoy, from the way they talk to the way they walk. So it takes a special person to have earned, "the masculine pronoun is more leisurely than refined sorghum navigating rising terrain in the first month of the year." What is he slower than?

Answer: molasses

It takes a very special person indeed when a Southerner refers to another Southerner as "slower than molasses going uphill in January." By its very nature, molasses is thick and hardly moves at all, so add "cold and thick" and "cold and thick moving uphill," and you have someone moving at a snail's pace.
9. It's quite rare to meet a woman of the Southern persuasion that isn't as sweet as sweet potato pie, at least, to your face. I assume they are talking about a Yankee woman if you hear, "the feminine pronoun is affirmatively more malicious than a domesticated canine possessed by a collection of discarded automobiles." What would the last word of this deciphered Southern-ism be?

Answer: dog

If you've ever seen a junkyard or a junkyard dog, the colloquialism "She's meaner than a junkyard dog," would make perfect sense. Junkyards in the South tend to be somewhat depressing places and the dogs that guard them are bred and trained to be ferocious creatures. You would not want to cross someone as mean as that.
10. Living above one's means is common the world over, but a Southern illustration of this universal truth would be, "The feminine pronoun possesses sparkling, dry white wine sensations of quality upon a malted hops beverage's allotment of funds." What would the last word of this Southern-ism be?

Answer: budget

Hearing, "She's got champagne taste on a beer budget," never fails to make me smile. I start to reminisce about the days right out of college when I desperately wanted to dress to impress but was held back by my newbie income. I eventually learned to stretch my "beer budget" to acquire a decent professional wardrobe by buying classic last season pieces and/or finding things in consignment. Thus this colloquialism fit me to a "T."
