Totally Southern Expressions

So, I was at the ortho clinic yesterday getting rooster comb shots in my knees. The PA gave me the first shot and blood just gushed out. I said, "well, I am bleeding like a stuck pig" and she looked at me like I had invented a new language. I know there are other phrases that roll off our tongues that Yankees and left coast parasites don't use or understand. Let's hears 'em. And remember, if you can't run with the big dogs, just stay on the porch.

As useless as teats on boar hog.
Sunshine while raining "the devil beating his wife"
"Faster than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking competition."

Well, I'm a damn Yankee, and that particular phrase ain't necessarily a southern phrase., Was used in my family since I can remember.

You're out of your cotton-picking mind.......

Busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger.

If “ifs” and “buts” were berries and nuts, I’d be a happy squirrel.

She's so ugly she could eat watermelon through a picket fence.

She's so ugly she was born scared.

She's so ugly she has to wear a necklace of dried dog ass holes to keep the flies off her face.

I might could think of one or two...

 

[Fodderwing]

Fine as frog's hair

Scarce as hen's teeth

Living high on the hog

 

[CDGator]

Doing better than the average bear

I reckon if the creek don't rise and the good lord's willin'

Going to see a man about a dog....

Yes Ma'am, Yes Sir

 

[grengadgy]

Yes Ma'am, Yes Sir

Truly southern...:)

hen's (knew it was a typo but the Yankees here would probably not understand). Worthless as tits on a bore hog. An expression, not necessarily referring to Yankees.

Prolly picked it up from a cultured Son of the South. Just sayin'.

So, my mom would say, while it was raining and the sun shining, go put a straight pin in the ground and put one ear next to it and you can hear the devil beating his wife. It works too.
Also, busier than a one armed paper hanger.

Rainin’ like a cow pissin’ on a flat rock.

Lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut.
