The one southern term I just can't wrap my mind around.

So I am country, and I am a southern guy but there is something that I just don't get.

That is the saying "ready aint it?"

Here is the story. I was at the Co-op the other day buying some diesel fuel and this old guy walked in. In the corner of the room was a dancing Santa that when you walked by it began to sing. If you know me then you know that just seeing this thing was irritating. I dont like Christmas music until about 2 weeks before Christmas...It is just so repetitive.

But anyways, so everytime this Santa would dance this guy would look at me and say these words..."Thats ready aint it?"

I started thinking, what does that mean? Like is it ready to leave, or is it ready to sing or is it ready? Ready for what? I think that it is saying like..."That is cool" But off all the country saying...I dont get this one.

If you know any help let me know...I may look it up on wikipedia. haha just kidding
