Submitted for your approval, something a little different:
The first part of the sentence (prior to the No) defines a play on words of the answer in question. The second part (after the No) truly defines the word.
For example:
Feline buttocks commendation? No, a misfortunate event.
Answer: Catastrophe (CAT ASS TROPHY*) *with respects to Piers Anthony
Molten rock in the shape of an American colonial British loyalist?
No, a bathroom. lava tory...razz
A short rest with family members?
No, proper dining linen Nap kin...razz
Prohibited coffee?
No, an instrument. Ban Joe (banjo)...John_and_Yoko
Fauna (should have been Flora...my mistake!...Gaberax) that produces pikes?
No, an esculent avian POLE TREE...Poultry....John_and_Yoko
An angry reddish-brown horse?
No, semi-frozen juice SORE BAY...Sorbet...alinda
Here are 5 from me. If you like the format and can come up with some of your own, please share with the tribe. :)

Hmmm I'm not sure that "it's a southern thing" would be a fair clue for belt buckle. People wear belt buckles all over the country. And even if you're talking about the huge western wear buckles, you see those in Montana and Wyoming as well as the south. Maybe "It's a western thing" would've been closer to the mark :)
Maybe the huge belt buckle is a "redneck" thing.
