Southern Fried Hospitality
Southern Fried Hospitality
Hi,
Recently I've watched some cartoons to learn English. The above is a title of the Woody Woodpecker cartoon. What does it mean? Does the author try to play on word on this title? Thanks.

Yes, it is a portmanteau of 'southern fried' ( a cooking style, esp. of chicken) and 'southern hospitality' (which is traditionally warm and generous). As a cartoon title, it suggests that the hospitality experienced is not so pleasant.
