So after ponderin' another thread discussion about my improper use of the word "won't" I figured I'd throw some more southern lingo ya'lls way and see if ya'll can find a place for 'em in your life too... I even included defernitions. Feel free to add any of your favorites to the list. Cuter than a freckle on a ladybug- (real cute) Funnier than a snot bubble on a baby- (real funny) You couldn’t sling a dead cat around without hittin’ somebody/something- (very crowded place) Slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter- (not very fast) He/She could eat a corn cob thru a picket fence- (needs dental work) If she don’t cover that mess up, she gonna catch old and new-monia/ you could plum see her religion (needs more clothes on) Done got his slinky in a kink- (Confused/Irritated) Wash as far down as possible, as far up as possible, then wash possible- (directions for takin’ a bath) Has a temper equaled to 20 mother-in-laws- (easily angered) Actin like the cheese has done slid off your cracker- (moment of insanity) If leather was brains, he couldn’t saddle a junebug- (not very smart) Is a pig’s butt made of pork?- (acceptable answer to a question) Madder than a rained-on rooster- (mad) Madder than a gorilla with a rotten banana- (mad) Like a whipped puppy that pee’d on daddy’s slipper- (sad/sulking) Fixin to knock the peach-fuzz off yer melon- (young man is about to be assaulted) Fixin to lay down a butt whooping that would make the UFC look like a Disney flick- (young man is about to be assaulted… part deux) Enjoy
I am gonna have to put some of these up on my Facebook page just to make my northern friends and relatives laugh! :jester:
"Warsh" - Wash. "Cent" - The plural term for a monetary amount of coins. "Jethro owes me 75 cent" "Plug up" - To plug in. "Plug up that lamp and see if it works" "Plate" - A meal sold by a church or civic organization in order to raise money. "My church is selling plates. You want one for lunch?"

"she wernt very nice to me" "Bless her heart" - Immediately follows some of the most vile insults you've ever heard. "That fat pig is the nastiest slut in the county...bless her heart"
