Asked to be remembered to her
formal Southern for "tell her I said hey"
New Yorker Lorna overheard her mother, a native southern belle, finishing up a phone call with a gal pal in Virginia. "oh well it's just lovely to have spoken today, Bobby-Jo. please tell your mother that I asked to be remembered to her!!" Lorna, having heard that salutation, fell on the floor laughing. "Ma! that's the funniest thing I've ever heard omfg! why didn't you just say 'tell her I said hey'?? I am now deceased and it will now be a running joke because imma tell all my pals and even abbreviate to ATBRTH"
