Insult them like a good ol' boy.

"Bless his heart, (because every good southern woman says that right before insulting someone) but that boy is a few cards shorts of a full deck".

"Well, I Swanee" is a Southern phrase I hear from a friend in N C. Not sure it's an insult. Fun to use though. :)

Once when I was living in PA with mom and my grandparents, I came across some old farmers' almanacs. One of the jokes was set in WWI, and it had an officer telling a recruit, obviously from the South, that he wasn't shaved. The recruit was surprised to hear this, and replied, "Well, me an' some other boys were usin' the same bit o' looking glass, and I swan I must've shaved someone else!"
I presume the term 'swan' is a form of "swear", as in "I could of sworn I'd shaved this morning." I think "Swanee" would be a variation of this, as in "I swear...."
