This book is equal parts humorous and informative. It is an insider's guide to what often feels like a foreign language to those who grew up outside of Southside Virginia. Comprising the counties in the south central part of the state, Southside is known for its rural farming culture, hospitality, faith, family, work ethic, and simple living. The slang, dialect, and expressions commonly used throughout Southside may be baffling to non-native speakers. The authors cover topics such as how to know if "Bless your heart" is a sincere expression of concern or an insult on your intelligence. You will also learn the difference between a country boy and a redneck as well a how to interpret the ever-confusing multiple meanings of y'all.
