My kin folks say such funny things,all of us growin` up in the flarda everglades and all. One time ,when I was 10 years old , I asked my mamma where my cup of coffee was,I`d forgotten that she`d already told me where it was, about twenty minutes earlier.She got all mad and stuff,and said, real angry-like"IT`S OVER THERE,AND IT`S COLDER`N A LIZARD`S STERN BY NOW"Anybody got any good ones that you can`t forget,like the one my sweet mamma said to me??
Will the last reb to leave flarda,please bring the flag?[This message has been edited by 218Beekeep (edited 09-17-2001).]

    I worked running heavy equipment for a crusty old * in Oklahoma back in the eighties. He was actually a Texan and he had a million of those types of sayings.He used to call a hard, gully washer rain a "toad floater." I guess 'cause it filled the ditches and floated the toads right out. Sure used to crack me up.He'd say, "We gotta * this dirt work done an' * this street paved directly. If she come a toad floater we gonna have a helluva mess."Another time he was warning me to stay away from a particular bar in Enid, Oklahoma. He said, "You wanta stay the hell outta there. There's people in there that'll say things to a man... make ya have to kill 'em."I must've repeated that line a thousand times over the years. "...make ya have to kill 'em." What a classic.

    When I was growing up I asked my mom every day when I got home from school what was for supper.Her favorite saying was,"poke and grits,poke your feet under the table and grit yor teeth." Down here in Texas it gets so hot my favorite expression is,"hotter than a french cat house on nickel night."

    Grampa's wisdom that I remember (he died when I was five):(1) "No one ever argues w/ a twelve gauge or a .45 . . . at least, not more than once."(2) (Referring to ties) "Can't see why any man would tie a rope around his own neck, no matter how pretty it is."(3) (Referring to the stock market) "No one ever lost money by taking a profit."

    The same ol' Texan I was talking about earlier was telling me one day about a guy he knew who was a compulsive liar. He said, "Why, iff'n they ever gave that ol' boy the truth serum, he wouldn't be able to talk fer a week."

    My grandpa used to tell me not to point a finger at him, he'd say "don't point that at me, it's got a nail in it!". Also, he used to order "milk from the tap" if he was at a restaurant with a pretty waitress. Finally, his generic response to a question of where anything was located was "up in Nellie's room behind the clock". I spent years trying to figure out who Nellie was and why I'd never seen her room..

    One of my favorites is said of a particularly ugly person. "He/she put the UG in ugly." For an ugly guy. "He couldn't make out in a Chinese whorehouse with a fistful of $50 bills."Then the one that's been around forever. For a remarkably ugly woman. "She'd need two bags, in case one came off."My mother (who was from Arkansas) used to refer to a really heavy rain as a "frog strangler".Mudge

    "Tighter than Dick's hatband" is referring to a penny-pincher type person or something along those lines. I don't know who "Dick" is, but I'm assuming it was a person not, well, you know. Also, speaking of assuming..."when you assume, you make an * out of u and me""It was darker than a sackfull of *"

    My dad was a man of few words,it came from spending days and nights away from people,* hunting since he was about 11 to help support his family,decades of gator hunting for the ilegal hide trade.So when someone would say something that didn`t make a lot of sense,he couldn`t help but question it. Once when I was about 10, I said "Daddy ,that makes my skin crawl!"...... In a slow and deep drawl he says......"Oh yeah?....Howz it smell when ya * crawlz acrossed ya noz?"

    When you see a pretty girl say "I'd like to bite that on the butt and get lockjaw" that always gets a few smiles unless you're with your wife. I have a friend who always says "I've got to go shake hands with shorty" when he has to take a leak.
