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.

2. "I don't know what that guy was thinking when he said that was a good idea, bless his heart."
3. This man was rude and he needed to be put in his place, so I looked him in the eyes and said "Well, bless your heart!".

Get the Bless Your Heartmug. Blessing, the name of the girl you love who you can’t stop talking about. Maybe it’s because you love the way her name tastes on your tongue, or because you enjoy her in general. Either way, she’s the definition of absolute perfection. She’s kind but not one to keep her feelings to herself. She’s bold about her opinions—proud of it—but she’s still so caring.
She’ll be struggling through so much, wanting to give up all the time, but she always manages to somehow keep pushing through. She has strong tenacity and no matter how much she might want to just give up, she can’t. And it’s not because she loves herself like a narcissist, rather, it’s because she doesn’t want those around her to hurt.
She doesn’t deserve to go through the problems she suffers with and when she tells you about them YOU feel your heart ache. She’ll say “I’m fine,” but you see straight through her mask. You want to wrap your arms around her, whisper comforting words into her ear as you stroke her hair. She’ll eventually break, making you’re heart ultimately shatter, but you know that she needs this. She’ll start to tremble, mumbling incoherent phrases of apologies as you continue to lull her.
But when she stops and relaxes, man doesn’t that just make you smile like an idiot. She’ll reciprocate the smile, hers much brighter. And that smile will just make you melt.
And that’s when you realize that you want complete happiness for this damn girl.

Get the sure god blessmug. 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!

Get the bless your heartmug. Bless is the name of a girl that loves sport such as basketball, volley-ball, and netball.
She is a very hard working but sensitive person that doesn't like to be over the top or express too much feeling to people. She has a great humour and loves making others laugh and is extremely random at some times
