From Southern Living:
Never chew with your mouth open or talk with your mouth full. Do. Not. Smack.
Take off your hat or cap in the house, especially when eating or when a lady is present. Don't even think about coming near Mama in her house with that thing on your head. Not if you want to keep it. And we'll leave it to you to decide whether "it" refers to your hat or your head.
Elbows off the table.
Don't sing or whistle at the table.
Don't talk about unpleasantries at the table.
