During my short tenure in the American South I thought women of all ages were in to me because they’d often say, ‘Bless your heart!’ and call me ‘Honey’.
Turns out I should have kept my head down. Don’t be fooled by Southern Hospitality.
Honestly, if someone hadn’t let me in on the secret, I probably still wouldn’t have figured it out. Three thoughts later? This one could take you anywhere from three days to three years to figure out.
Both answers to @PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca seem to imply there’s a hidden insult in their comment, but I can’t find it.
I’m the dumb cookie and I don’t like that
Many of these rely on big words, or are actually pretty obviously insults even if you don’t understand.
The real gems are the ones that read like simple english compliments, unless you spend actual effort looking for the insult.
Bless your heart

Hey!

I don’t get it…
Meaning you don’t understand the obvious insults.
Well aren’t you a smart cookie!
