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 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.
daniella: hey josh, i think i lost my glasses.
jonah: bless your heart daniella, but youre wearing your glasses right now.
daniella: oops, silly me!

When someone dislikes another individual in the workplace or elsewhere and decides to issue a "bless you" to everyone but that person when he or she sneezes, indicating a lack of worthiness and respectability.
"I don't think Jenna likes me anymore."
"Why not?"
"She gave the selective bless-you to everyone who sneezed in the office today but me, even though I sneezed three different times."
"Oh, that sucks."
"Why not?"

A desire for urophilia; sexual arousal derived from urination.
In this case, the practice of paying a prostitute (male or female) to urinate upon the subject.
The term derives from the 1982 hit 'Africa' by the American rock band Toto, which featured the chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh-hoo.

Jim: Shit, you going for more water sports with that hooker? I wouldn't pay to be pissed on bro.
Mark: Yeah, but I'm just weak for her bladder contents being poured on me. What's a guy to do?
