Southern Slang

[Florida Boy]

We are all blessed beyond imagination the Lord saw fit to create us as Southerner's we have one of the most unique cultures in the history of this country. We have a dialect and language all our own, something that should be chronicled and preserved. I would like to ask ya'll to share your favorite saying and wisdom of your regions so all can enjoy. I'm going to start this off with a phrase used by a gentleman i worked with years ago referring to a project that turned out really well. " That is jam up and jelly tight " We have all heard something that maybe made you scratch your head at first ,then it brought a smile to your face. Let's not let these gems disappear.

If we was playing checkers, it'd be your move.
That's as f'ed up a box of brim hooks.
I show you how the cow eats the cabbage.
That's as f'ed up as a football bat.
If she had as many sticking out of her as she's had stuck in her, she'd look like a porcupine.
That's as f'ed up as a knee grows checkbook.
If you want to play hardball, batter up mfer.

My grandpa- boy, you are so lazy and dumb you think 'manual labor' is the name of a Mexican evangelist.

My uncle (who helped pay for my college education)- that is only a small step if you are a 'high stepper'.

Youse a M@#$F@#in' lie an yo firs name is tell dat sumbitch.

Another bit of wisdom bestowed on me from a very wise older gentleman. Its ok to borrow money, but remember you can never borrow yourself out of debt.

[JDgator]

"Gone to hell in a handbasket."
"That dog don't hunt."

Grinnin' like a mule eating saw briars...
Handy as a pocket on a shirt....
On the use of condoms: that about like washing your feet with your socks on....
