Ok how about country sayings???

[CJkid]

gag a maggot

off like a herd of turtles

wheels spinning but the hamster's dead

 

[dewey]

Love seeing all these sayings. Some are repeats but these are just a small portion of the Smoky Mountain sayings and words that we were raised with...

....as scarce as hen's teeth
...as old as Methuselah
...busy as a stump-tailed cow
...cuter'n a speckled pup
...in a coon's age
...too big for his britches
...in high cotton
...ran off for a bottle of dope (aka: soda pop)
...eatin' high on the hog
...Lord willin' and the creek don't rise
...got 'is feathers all ruffled
...the tail's waggin' that dog
...hoein' corn (said in reply to "whatcha doin?" when doing something obvious)
...don't make me no never mind
...pitchin' a hissy
...ain't worth a lick
...plum' tuckered
...if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their tails when they jumped
...higher'n a Georgia pine
...all catawampus
...madder'n a wet hen
...than Cooter Brown
...than Carter has pills
...soppin' mad
...in a month of Sunday's
...a piece up the road
...just over yonder
...fiddle-fartin' around
...fixin' to
...layin' up all day
...run'd oft
...a right smart piece
...ya reckon
...mosey on over
...pure kyarn
...untangle yer drawers (unlike chester-drawers where them drawers were kept

)
...cuttin' shines
...cookin' a mess'o (greens or whatever)
...lookin' a mite peaked
...they got book read
...don't get all het up
...stayed a spell
...didn't miss a lick (also, can't hit a lick)
...gonna tan yer hide
...as rough as a corn cob

There's probably at least a couple of thousand more...so much more that we pretty much had to learn a "new" language when we moved out west, or, rather, those around us had to, lol.

Louder than a spur in oil

I always wondered who Cooter Brown was an how drunk he actually was...


"Drunker den Cooter Brown."


"lord willing an the creek dont rise" always seemed funny to me every time i hear it... We live on a mountain.

 

[Henny peeny]

though of another one my husband says

He is shaking like a dog sh**ing peach pits

And give thought to this I probably would to if'n I were to do the same.

YOU?

busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger.

She would make a freight train take a dirt road



tourist:"Where does that road go to?"
yokel: "Don't go nowhere, stays here year round"

I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat
