Yeah, I'm from Ms, and the only time I ever hear "fall of the bone" is during BBQ restaurant commercials. There's a local BBQ joint owned by a man named Shack. At the end of the commercial, a lady standing outside the place says "you don't need no teeth to eat Mr Shacks meat"!
Seriously though if my ribs are falling off the bone, I'm not happy! I'm chapped, because it means I wasn't paying attention and over cooked'em.
