Acronym for Full of Shit Southerner. Used to describe a person from the South (including but not limited to the following states:
NC, SC, GA, TN, AL,
MS,
LA, VA and
KY) who is politely being evasive, untruthful, disingenuous and/or passive aggressive. A common behavior found in regional southern culture and widely deemed unacceptable to a northerner, who typically values being forthright. For example, the acronym is applicable when someone is 'yessing' you to
death and truly means 'no'.
"That person was a FOSS. She kept saying she's love to buy a timeshare from me, and when I asked her for her
credit card, she
made all sorts of excuses."
"Total FOSS's. They're from North
Carolina."
