Ahhhh Pittsburgh. That might account for the affected syntax with which she posts. It is offensive to real Southerners and well, just 'icky'.
No one I know speaks that way unless they are auditioning for an antebellum role in a movie.
And as for St. Cecilia's....yes, my mother was rather ridiculous in her ideas of proper behavior, but she was also St. Cecilia's 1952. She stuck to her guns, but Lord have mercy, she was from another era.
Thanks for the clarification. It helps me to understand a great deal more. It is still horrifically affected, but, I imagine, in imitation of her mother and not in mockery of the South.
Tacky is as tacky does. And posing is always tackier than exposing said poseur. Call me tacky but I am not pretending to Southern aristocracy. I am the real thing, sugar.
Glad to know honeychile is innocent in her affectedness.
