Thread Name: Strange expressions..
Subject: RE: Strange expressions..
Giac, I have heard those expressions. My dear mother-in-law says "c'yarn", as in, "The house is as nasty as c'yarn." He ain't no bigger'n a fried apple fart" or "fart in a whirlwind". "I went in and cleaned up the whole loblolly mess" (loblolly being a type of pine tree; don't know how she put those together); a "whizerdilly fit" is similar to a hissy fit. When asked how's she is doing, a friend says, "I'm fine as frog's hair." My great-grandma used to say, in exclamation, "Good night, Miss Agnes!" Sharon
