Southernism of the Day

Lord A-mighty

This is an alternative pronunciation of "Lord Almighty". Somehow, removing the "L" in Almighty renders the phrase appropriate for everyday use. It's an interjection.

Example: "Lord A-mighty, Auburn liked ta' got beat by Kansas State!"

similar to Got-amightyknows! This is actually "God Almighty Knows"

Example: "Got-amightyknows, that Gerard Butler is some kind of fine!"

Now you try.
