A Southerner is someone born south of the Mason Dixon line and North of I-10 in Florida. Most of Florida is no longer part of the south as was long ago infiltrated by non-southerners called Snow Birds, as well as Yankees looking to make a buck and immigrants from Spanish speaking countries.
Southerners will always offer food and drink to visitors and invite you to every backyard bar b que, fish fry, or bon fire. If you visit, you will always be offered Beer, Sweet Tea or a Coca Cola. True southerners only drink Coke, never Pepsi. Pepsi is sacrilegious in the south. To turn down an offering of food or drink in the south is considered an insult.
Southerners are very polite and friendly until you take some action or make some comment that you perceive will go over their head as a subtle insult. . The point being, don't underestimate the intelligence of a southerner, you risk having your ass cussed out in front of the whole world.

1) A general term for a person that lives in the South.
2) A person that lives in the South. Most of them are friendly, good-humored, and overall: AWESOME! Southerners, being a general term, know the difference between a good ol' boy,a redneck, a hillbilly, and po' white trash. YES, PEOPLE! THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM!

A word that has been shortened and altered so much to the point that it is impossible to understand the message a person is trying to convey.
Examples:
They ought to = They aughta (Southernised English)
Ayorta = They aughta (Southernism Southernism)
Let's go = Lego (Southernised)
With ya did ya = witch a ditch a (Southernised)

Just so you know not everyone in the south is a racist. I live in the south and always have, but have friends of every race. I'm also not ignorant or dumb in any way. Northerners can't blame us for a dumb president being elected because last time I checked the whole country votes for president, and I don't support him in any of his decisions. Everyone from the north just assumes they know what it is to be a southerner, obviously because you have met us all. I will not lie and say that there are not ignorant people in the south, but everyone up north is not a genesis. I'm not trying to be rude to any one who is from the north, even though some of you deserve it from your comments. I have friends who are from the north some that I even consider to be very close friends. I just didn't realize so many northerners were so judgmental. Don't make generalizations of people that you have never met. Stop worrying about peoples lives in the south, and take a look at your own. You can't hate us all just because you hate where we come from. I'm proud of where I come from. We love it in the south so stop hating.
By the way the majority of us can have an intelligent conversation. Just most times we prefer our southern slang. We do have country accents, but that is just part of our culture. Just so you know not everyone in the south enjoys country music like you all think. I actually prefer hip-hop and R&B. Most of us do have a lot of hospitality, but there are also many who don't.
Most southerners are very intelligent.
We are not all rednecks.
Southern = me

Southernality is generally used in a brief statement when describing an incident or activity just observed, or a conversation just overheard, that is conducive to southern culture or language.

“Billy Bob, it’s spelled ‘crawdad,’ not ‘crawdead,’ however, your enunciation gives it some good Southernality.”

Someone originally from one of these states: South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and a scarce few parts of Florida. You can not become a Southerner, you must be "Natural Born." Being a Southerner entails being appropriated to the best food, music, lifestyle, and attitudes in the world. There is nothing that can't be sorted out between two proper Southern gentlemen. "Southerner" is not to be associated with redneck or hillbilly, as these are terms for white trash and can be found anywhere in the country, not limited to the south. If you are in fact lucky enough to have a true Southerner as a friend, you will have at least one friend for the rest of your life. All Southerners are not "country," as it were, but country is for more accurate than "redneck" as country just means, from a rural area.
Being a proper Southerner myself, I find it inescapably vexing to be considered in the same league as a redneck.
