Thread Name: Folklore: favorite southern US expression
Subject: RE: favorite southern US expression
A couple of my favorites:
"Felt like a duck at a cock fight" "I have no dog in that fight" (variation of one above) "Pretty as a deer, but dumber than owl shit" "One wheel in the dirt" (meaning about to go out of control) "Smelled like a fart in a gym sock" "Shitting in tall cotton" (meaning doing well in life) "Ugly as a stump" "I want to date outside the family" "Too much sugar for the dime" (meaning overwhelming or false praise) "Herding cats" or "Pushing string" (meaning doing something difficult)
