I feel left out, I am no where near as Sarcastic as the rest of you
I'm full blooded southern and my whole family is as sarcastic as they come.
My now ex-son-in-law would get pissed at my daughter for her sarcasm and once asked in our kitchen if we were all a bunch of smart-asses. My wife, my daughter and I all answered at the same time "Yes".
Oklahoma checking-in. Everyone in the family is incredibly sarcastic. I have to make sure I tone it down in public, since people may not know I'm kidding around.

I think the correct answer in this situation is "I'd rather be a smart ass than a dumb ass."

I’m guilty as charged however I’m honestly trying to change with age. Somehow sarcasm doesn’t come off as funny past a certain age.
Make no mistake I still mess up.

I guess I figured "Bless Your Heart" and other "southernisms" were just sarcasm with a nice sugar glaze on it.
As a lifelong southerner, I can say you are not wrong.
a corollary Southern sarcastic tendency is the classic misdirection: Person obviously “not from ‘round here” asks directions? You are duty-bound to send them the wrong way, just for lols.

As a northerner raised in Ohio who worked at a Chic-fil-a in highschool...
I always felt saying "My Pleasure" was pretty creepy. In a giggady sort of way...

i usually say " Yes my ass is smart, much like the rest of me"
Is this still considered verbal teasing????.....Cuz I'm guilty as H.....even more so since I kissed the Blarney Stone back in 2001 and have to seriously watch what comes 'flyin; out my pie hole..almost reminds me of turrets syndrome but on a more subdued level.
I'm a Western NY'er, living in Baltimore, and in Chicagoland right now for work. It's like the trifecta of sarcasm.
Was out at dinner tonight and the waiter and my co-worker got into it over deep dish pizza and Italian beef, which my coworker called "a loaf of bread with sauce" and "Steak-ums", respectively. Thems was apparently fightin' words here in Chi-town.

As a native I can't really argue with him on either of those culinary points. I mean yeah there's a bunch of sauce on that bread, but there's also a ton of cheese! Italian beef is nothing special without giardiniera. Come at me fellow Chicagoans.

Its understandable. Its not his usual frozen cardboard that mom cuts up into little pieces.

Spoken like someone who hasn't had WNY pizza or a Viola's double steak and cheese. Yes the pizza is thin because it's pizza. If I wanted a cheesy layer cake, I'd get married again.

That's where you did it wrong. We had pie and cookies at our wedding. Cake is for WASPs.
It's not pizza, it's casserole. Not that there is nothing wrong with a good casserole.
Also "NYC-style" pizza is also hugely, bigly even, overrated.
We're going to start the pizza argument thing again? That's a fantastic, productive use of all of our time. Well done.
Chicago casserole pizza is better than nyc ketchup on crackers. Period.
Good pizza lies somewhere in the middle, but like everything else, we only ever hear from the extremists at either end.
Appleseed said:What are you, the pizza police?
I’ve asked my wife many times if she’s “ a cop” that she has replied that she is a cop and is going to bust a baton over my head.
Don’t mess with those ladies going through the change of life.
