Refers to the romanticization of the pre-civil war south. The term alludes to soft lighting and flower scents. It has evolved as a synonym for "euphemism."
Allegedly, the phrase was coined by the writers of "Gone With The Wind" to descibe the scene at Twelve Oaks when the confederates found out that war had been declared. It refers to the men's eagerness to battle and the women's eagerness to 'claim' their confederate soldier before he left.

"You can drop the moonlight and magnolia, Scarlett!
So things have been going well at Tara, have they?"
-Rhett Butler, Gone with the wind
(When Scarlett wore a dress made of green velvet drapes to Atlanta to try and get money from Rhett to pay taxes on her home, Tara, she smiled sweetly and claimed to have eveything she cold hope for and "not a care in the world." Rhett noticed her hands, calloused from picking cotton, and knew she was lying.)

A girl's name, much like Megan or Meagan. Usually spelled M-A-G-A-N in the south. Magans are usually blonde, preppy girls, that also have a redneck side. Girls named Magan HATE it when people say their name MAGGIN.

A girl's name, Usually spelled M-A-G-A-N (yes in all caps, better get that shit right-right now) and the (MAAY) part is said with a set of balls in the south. If you can't empathize the (MAAY) and you accidentally say (MEH-gan) get ready to stare into the eyes of Satan himself, a 52 minute lecture about how you better say her name right and possibly a jaw slap if you continueto say it wrong! Magans are usually blonde, big booty-ed, blue eyed sweethearts but also have a redneck side thay will stomp your ass AND your daddys ass! They uaually have a "maw-maw" somewhere in the family and an attitude and mouth fitting to their name... MAGAN.
*Side note on the rare breed Magan- they usually have a best friend that will walk barefoot on hot coals before they let anyone or anything come close to hurting their valued "magan" so tread VERY carefully!

Get the Magan mug.Everyone thinks they’re the shit until they realize they’re still in 5th grade. 6th date each other almost every week and get broken up every week. Each day there is even more drama than the last and everyone is always super dramatic.
