Friend, please learn to spell “y’all”. It’s short for “you all”, at least here in Georgia.
What the bumper sticker means is that we’re going to fire on Ft. Sumpter, fight a four-year war against the Federal Government, surrender and undergo twenty years of Reconstruction. We’re betting we’ll come out of it with better schools and infrastructure.

Hmm… so we are such good friends you feel obligated to point out a misplaced apostrophe? Thanks friend.
I am especially appreciative that you took the time to define the word. Impressive indeed. :rolleyes:
jacksen9: I know, I grew up in Houston. I agree that though Texas is in the south, it really isn’t part of “The South”, if you catch my meaning.
But since the saying is a Confederacy thing, and since Texas was part of the Confederacy, I think the Texas example is appropriate.
“Ya’ll” is one of my pet peeves because it seems inexplicable as a mispelling; if one is aware that the word is a contraction for “you all”, the correct placement of the apostrophe should be obvious.
However, I immediately went on to misspell “Ft. Sumter”.
Friends, since we’re nitpicking, I’m from Charleston – the cradle of the Confederacy – and it’s spelled Fort Sumter. 
It means the South is going to have sex again.
Which, personally, I’m looking forward to.
Oh, I don’t know… I think you can take it alot of ways. There is the whole sad ignorant crowd who think that somehow we’re still going to be able to split from the rest of the nation (I doubt we could beat off the transplanted yankees down here, much less the rest of 'em up north ;>). There was a Charlie Daniels song, it was about the new crop of Southern Rock around in the '70s picking up the mantle from the original southern rockers like Elvis, Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis. I prefer to think of it as a rallying call to shrug off and put aside the shame of our defeat and our checkered past, to go on and elevate ourselves to our rightfull place as one of the most vibrant and valuable cultures in the USA. We have alot to offer, many many good points and people seem to like living here. We also put up with alot of stereotyping and insulting crap that most other areas seem to do without… and that’s fine, adversity breeds strength I believe.
There is a big diference between “Southerners” and southerns who are transplanted Northerners (IIRC, what the Southerners call Carpetbaggers).
Which is either good news or bad news for a lot of farm animals and first cousins, depending on your point of view.
I’m kidding of course. A lot of important inventions were created in the South. The toothbrush for example (we know it was invented in the South because it’s not called a TEETHbrush).

LOL.
And why would we go get our hair cut instead of getting our hairs cut?
Just curious: Is there a corresponding term for Southerners who move up north?
Fresh Meat?
Free?
Well, since your listed location is Bath, Maine; I’d say, conservatively speaking, it means the driver is really, really lost. 
God damn it! I was looking for my goat! Give it back you muther-fuckers!
Speaking of pet peeves, it is the Confederate Navy Jack that is at issue, not the Confederate Battle Flag.
Dunno. Maybe the first barber shops were where you went if you needed help for a REALLY bad comb-over.
One of my pet peeves is when people try to pick on what you say without any real cause. From your own link:
That’s the one I’m talking about. I said “Battle Flag”, not “Navy Jack”. It’s the fourth one, the square one, on that site. As you even quoted me saying “battle flag”, I’m a bit unclear on why you could be “peeved” at me. 
Plus, the phrase “Stars and Bars” sounds so freaking cool. I like the way it sounds.
#1-I am (as a thread search will show) a Jew and proud of it.;j
#2-SS officers were some of the most evil human beings to ever live.
#3-But, cheez, those uniforms were gorgeous!
Having confessed, I feel cleansed yet dirty
BTW-The South Shall Again-The Truth
Having been born in Virginia, I can tell you the real meaning. Once a year the whole South holds a party and everybody drink Southern Comfort until they lose consciousness.
What gets me is when I see the Confederate Flag on cars or trucks in Canada. I mean, it’s possible these are transplanted southerners but it’s really unlikely for Saskatchewan. It’s not even rebelling against anything. We barely have any black people. The only thing it can signify is you being a racist asshole.
