basically just states in the south of the united states of america. the south is generally a very nice place to live in, with warm weather and friendly folk; the main reasons so many northerners are moving down to the south. What most southerners don't know is that the 'damn yankees' don't make fun of the South much at all, in fact we never really -mention- the south. We don't bring up the Civil War and taunt the South or anything. Some southerners have this idea that all yankee's think that the south is full of hicks, but this is not true. Yankee's like southerners, so you southerners should learn to be tolernat of yankee's and their culture to. we're all one country, after all.
Southerners say "y'all" mostly and Yankee's say "you guys" mostly. This is one of the many differences between the south and north, but something that they can get over and just get along.

With regard to the other definition ...
If you're a yankee don't move here, we hate all y'all too!
We don't really care how you did it up north. If everything is so great up there, then Delta is ready when you are!

In short, The South is a distinct region of the United States which consists of the same states that seceeded from the union in the pre-civil war era. If you don't know them by now, then you'll never know them. The South is growing at a more than moderate rate and is a lot more diversified than it used to be. The South is the epitomy of amiability but also maintains a great sense of pride. If someone outside of The South "disses" it, a severe ass-whippin can occur.
some idiot: You talk country.
me: What? You don't like my Southern drawl?
idiot: No. You sounded like a dumbass hick during the presentation.
me: I'm from The South, bitch. Plus, I'll be getting my Doctorate while you'll still be hunting for your Master's.
idiot: I don't care.
me: Me either. (thousands of Southerners show up at my defense)
idiot: We're all friends here........right?

1. lower regions of a designated person, place or thing

2. term used to refer to the lower, warmer states in the USA; most are known for having played roles in the Civil War. Often times the people are stereotyped as being closed minded bigots or inbreeding cultural deficient folk. THIS IS A LIE! Southerners are renowned for their hospitallity though this is not true for all. Yes, most of the Southern states played a part in the pro-slave side of the Civil War but people today are more open-minded and educated. People of today can not be blamed for events beyond their control. Also fabled for greasy, salty fattening foods. I need only point out to a northern McDonalds to prove that this is a common misconception although we do make pretty good fried chicken.

3. the south pole
Most of you people don't know anything about the South!

Made the butt of jokes by Northerners. The South is filled with hard workers, some of the most hospitable people you will come across, friendly and down to earth, and are surrounded by beautiful mountains. It is also filled with people who can build, successfully grow gardens, and if disaster struck, generally live off the land. Because they have the wit and skill and determination to do those things that Northerners do not. The South is not full of racists or dumb people, the South has educated people and civilization---also the part of the United States where the most common sense is used. People are appreciative of what they have, and work hard to get it. They have manners and morals, and is arguably one of the calmest places to live in America.

The South tends to have its own feel to it. From hustling cities to winding country roads. From Victorian-styled homes to modern-day houses. It has charm and natural beauty. The people are proud of who they are.
"Stupid Southern idiots. Don't they know how to read or write or even speak?"
"Well, obviously. Nashville, Tennessee, is actually called the Athens of the South because of all of its colleges and universities."

"What's so special about the South?"
"It's naturally charming. It is also home of the Linville Caverns, Grandfather Mountain, the birthplace of Jazz, the Biltmore Estate and Gardens, and more."

I'm proud to be a Southerner. Even if that makes me a hillbilly, a redneck, a flag waver, a backwards fool . . . it doesn't matter! I am proud to say I am a Southerner.
