People who do not have American Southern English as one of your native dialects...
I have unfortunate news.
Y'all have been misled
I know you all think that "bless your heart" translates as "fuck you" (because you love to explain it to me)
But it actually means a lot of things

1) Fuck you

3) We don't know why she's like that, we told her to srop

Yes, these things DO contradict each other.
You have to figure it out thru tone and gossip and facial expressions.
And maybe you NEVER figure it out and no one will ever tell you, and that's probably for the best.

If I had to pick what I personally think it means most often I would say probably...
Aww he tried. But I mean... you know what he's like. He is a dipshit but kind of a loveable one and he does try.
Or something with that kind of flavor, like exasperation but with love

See but also people use it when they are legit pissed off or just love something with fervor and sincerity
It's a very flexible phrase
