“Southerners pride themselves on being polite. This is why we always us...” — Tinsley Mortimer Quote

“Southerners pride themselves on being polite. This is why we always use euphemisms to express ourselves.”

“I like Le Bilboquet. I know it's been around for a while, but it's a classic. I do love a hotel bar, too. Anywhere dark too is a great place to go. I haven't dated that much in New York since I've been back.”

“My absolute favorite hors d'oeuvres are tiny white lily flour flat Smithfield ham biscuits... bite-size and delicious. And being southern, I would never have a New York party without my signature pimento cheese spread.”

“I married someone I didn't love. I was too polite to say no.”

“I'm so British and polite that creating a scene or being confrontational is so not my vibe.”

“I'm big on my kids being conventionally polite, and it works really well for them.”
