southern bell
A misspelled form of southern belle, which this website apparently doesn't have the definition of.
A southern belle is a beautiful, rich and innocent girl from the Southern states of the U.S. The term is most commonly found in romance novels or books, since society is being taken over by a new generation that doesn't deign to use it. (psst, that means us, the teenagers and future of America. A sad bunch, aren'we?)
