[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the whole reason its a secret insult is because you can't prove you're being insulted (since its also used sincerely).[/quote]

This is why I hate the South. It's a cesspool of passive aggressiveness. [/quote]

How sad to have those kinds of feelings about an entire region and the people who live there. I often say, "Bless your heart" to friends, family members, and work colleagues when they're not feeling well. I'm not being passive aggressive or snarky. The expressions may vary, but there are wonderful people everywhere.

Somewhat ironically, most other countries think this about the whole of the United States because we are too willing to talk to and be kind to strangers, and they think it must be insincere. [/quote]

I never picked up on the insincerity thing. I just thought we were too in their space and annoying/overwhelming/gauche (to basically reserved from our standpoint people). Lots of middle eastern countries are what we would call insincere they would call polite. Funny though I never thought about it that they thought we were insincere.

Another take may be - the hotter it gets the more likely people are to snap/snarl at each other so you develop mechanisms to be uber-polite yet still retain the sanctity of your own feelings. I don't know - just a thought. [/quote]

Like bless your heart or I'm going to have to rip it out?[/quote]
