SOUTHERNISMS
1. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit.
2. It's been hotter'n a goat's butt in a pepper patch.
3. He fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
4. Have a cup of coffee - it's already been "saucered and blowed."
5. She's so stuck up, she'd drown in a rainstorm.
6. It's so dry the trees are bribing the dogs.
7. My cow died last night so I don't need your bull.
8. He's as country as a cornflake.
9. This is gooder'n grits.
10. I've been busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor.
11. If things get any better, I may have to hire someone to help me enjoy it.
12. I'm 'bout as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
13. I'm as busy as a moth in a mitten.
13. Happy as a clam at high tide.

Kingfish,
Way back a long time ago, 40 years to be exact, I was stationed at Ft. Campbell and was "seeing" a local gal from around there. She had so many of those type of quotes, I was laughing all the time. What a gal!

LAST EDITED ON Sep-02-04 AT 06:13AM (MST)[p]Kilowatt, My favorite quote from my southern bell is:

" Our house was so small where I grew up you had to go outside to change your mind"...LOL.

One of my buddies is also from Kentucky and he has a million of these sayings...Trust me, you would have to be from the south to even understand some of them...

I am a registered redneck from Vicksburg Mississippi. Here are some of the phrases common to my kind:

1. Well butter my butt and call me a bisquit.

2. That sucker is ugly as a mud fence.

3. She is so ugly she has to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dog to play with her.

4. I feel like I have been shot at and missed and sh*& at and hit.

5. That dude would rather climb a tree and lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth.

This is just a sample from every day talk down here in dixie land.

It's time to piss on the fire and call in the dogs.

I'm drunker than a one legged cat trying to bury turds on a frozen pond.

A big coon always walks before dawn.

I should slap the sh!t out of you, but I aint got that kind of time.

Nothin' says luvin' like a little sumpthin' from you cousin.

You sure got a purdy mouth.

Squeeeeeeeel like a pig!!

Corn whiskey..... It's what's for dinner

I'm as happy as a puppy with 2 peckers.

Anyone up for a rat killin'?

Lard....The other white meat.

If she aint good enough for her own family, she aint good enough for me.

PolarBear, you know what a rat killin is to huh? My dad grew up and Indiana, not exactly the south, but he had 3 brothers, and grew up on a farm. He also had 8 cousins that grew up on a farm as well, where him and his brothers would go stay at for a week at a time. They had a few rat killins!
