DADGUM [dad guhm]:
(adj.) (adv.) Used chiefly in the Southern U.S.
Americanism. A expression used to express enthusiasm, surprise, or mild annoyance when the restaurant you’re having supper in only carries unsweet tea. A politely-smirky euphemism for that word we all know we’re not allowed to say.
The Dadgum Debutante is the go-to destination for all things southern style. From hosting and entertaining to recipes, DIY and curated decor, I cover it all with a cheeky nod to the southern music, culture, sports and age-old traditions that shape those arts.
My name is Brittnee Taylor Newman, and I make my living as a writer. I love, love stories, and I’m smitten with the process of stringing words together to create magical, almost-tangible pictures that bring those stories to life.
Now that you’re here, I hope you’ll stay awhile! Please feel free to contact me at DadgumDebutante@gmail.com, or DM me on The Gram at @TheDadgumDebutante.
