the worst insult any southerner could dish out. to "bless someone's heart" is to pity someone for their sheer ignorance, stupidity, and gosh darn lack of intelligence. if the person who's heart you are blessing does not realize they are being insulted, then that proves their stupidity.

As a Southern lady, I can tell you there are several meanings to this Southern phrase.
1. If something terrible happens to you, I say it as a way to say "That really sucks! I feel sorry for you." I'll look at you with genuine sympathy.
2. If I look at you with a sardonic smile, I'm trying to call you an idiot without sounding rude.
3. If I look annoyed or mad, that means you've really crossed the line and you're not in good stead with me. It's my way of saying "Go fuck yourself!!!" when I'm in a situation where I can't just say that.

The uncanny smile ever present on scores of respectable blonde, suburban housewife types. You're never sure if it is the result of good 'work', true bliss, or an elaborate mask for the masses.
