Yeah, but we're much more polite down here in the South.

And the best thing about the South is that "Bless your(/their) heart" covers everything. It can be meant sincerely or facetiously. It's wonderful. It can cover the worst insult ever.
"Why Johnny ain't got a lick of sense, bless his heart."

And for the record, everyone should REALLY, REALLY encourge e to tell y'all about her momma!
