Author Breaks Down The Language Of 'Southern Lady Code'

Understanding what southern ladies are saying has nothing to do
with accents. That's what author Helen Ellis wants people who
aren't from the South to understand. The author stopped by On
Second Thought to talk about her new book, Southern Lady Code .
Ellis says the title refers to the “technique by which, if you
don't have something nice to say, you say something not-so-nice in
a nice way.”
