 If someone said, bless his heart, or maybe God bless him, then everyone involved in the conversation understood that one of the next things that person was going to say would be the word, but, and then they would follow that with a criticism of this other person who's not there. Yep, that sounds pretty familiar. I thought you might think so, Martha. Yes. So, for example, I can just hear my grandmother in Franklin, Tennessee, saying, well, bless his heart.
