Contemporary Southern Euphemisms

Clementine is so unique. Since her breakup with Beauford she has been in a bit of a funk. I tried to fix her up with Alston’s friend Trey, but she has discriminating taste and he’s artistic and they’re not from a similar background. I just hope she finds a nice man. She is such a sweet and special girl.

your post was so unique.
Note that in a previous post you refered to your friends as "special".
What are you tryin' to say there?
I love the girls, but when we get together we do some 'unique' things and at least one of them has a likin' for 'artistic' guys that are NOT from a 'similar background, bless her heart!
