I’m a rural north eastern and I love it when older folks tell others this phrase because I know the true intent behind it 🥲

I’m not southern but I know the meaning. But it reminds me of this one time, I live in Vermont, that I was at the grocery store and this lady was arguing with a cashier and she goes “bless your heart, and I mean that in the MOST SOUTHERN WAY POSSIBLE”
