[LM_NET] Saying no

[DEBORAH BOBO <DEBORAH_BOBO@CHARLESTON.K12.SC.US>]

I noticed the folks that are commenting on "bless your heart" are not
from the south.  That is a very common expression here and southerners
have always used it as a "nice" way to say no or give an insult.  Celia
Rivenbark has a book by that name.  If you care to learn more about
"southernisms," it is a fun read.
