    I recently found out that theres this magic chemical called "estrogen" that has incredible anti-aging properties. Everyone I know who takes it looks younger by the year!

    I still get it sometimes despite looking like a caveman. Nice old ladies that call you honey or sweetie are the real GOATs of working retail.

    I had one older woman tell me if you're younger than her you're a sweetheart, that's the rule. Makes me wonder about other southerners and language rules.

    If my rudimentary grasp of the Southern dialect is serving me right, it means they hate you, or something.

        when southern women are saying bless your heart it means they want you 6 feet under with a fork up your ass.

        When they say ‘I love that for you’ it means you have just said the most painfully boring and stupid thing imaginable and your entire existence deserves to be put under review.

        This is what I’ve learned from my brief time in the south.

          "Bless your heart" can be positive. It just swings between a sincere suggestion of pity and sorrow for your predicament, to "You are dead to any knowledge or succor of the divine"

            Can confirm, where I'm from it can also be polite dismissal like a nicer version of "cool story bro"

            If there's more than one word between 'your' and 'heart', it's an increasingly-stacking case of "wisdom is chasing you, but you are faster" (shoutout Xevi)

    I just call everyone "dear" by default because that's what the old lady I worked next to said for so many years. I don't care how socially inept it makes me look.
