[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one of my favorite long-standing southernisms that I employ often, is when I hate/am annoyed by/want to ignore something, I refer to it as "nice." "She's really nice." "Isn't that so nice!" "What a nice new house!" "Thanks for having us for lunch. It was so nice." [/quote] But what would you say if your really did like the lunch, house etc.?[/quote] I'd be saying similar things, but my body tone, body language, the tone and repetition in which I am saying it would be more natural, less wooden and less repetitive, more spontaneous-sounding. I would be mixing up the word choices more, soudning more natual and not forced, not just repeating the same frozen 1-2 adjectives over and over. [/quote]
