If I had to vote for Friendliest City, it would have to be Orange, CA. Seriously, you almost never run into a grump, and if you do, they're usually from someplace else.

No, that phrase is sort of a backhanded disclaimer. If someone is a little on the "slow" side it will be used like this. Well, Billy Bob, bless his heart, is dumber than a bucket of rocks.

Sort of like the current usage of..."not that there's anything wrong with that".
