My southern boyfriend says he lost it at "Jesus loves you" which is about the 4th phrase uttered. So I say this is a success.

my dear mother, rest her sweet soul, was from alabama and she had a thousand phrases.
"lord, there was a bee in this kitchen so big you coulda put a saddle on it!"
"i'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger with an itch!"
"she tore out of here like moody's goose!"
and of course all the standards: to high heaven, somethin' fierce, land sakes!
oh, and all the girls in the world were called lucy.
i miss her so much.

NW Ohio has had folks spouting "colorful ruralisms", too. Our old neighbor in Maumee, Ohio, used to remark, "That do beat a chicken peckin' on a board."

Now that was "finer than frog hair"..... Language is indeed rich and expressive in te South. Figuratively speaking such language is "scarce as hens teeth" in northern climes... BTW, not ALL" bears shit in the woods".... A polar bear would die of constipation looking for a tree...;-D

If something is unexpectedly closed, my friend Leslie Dean from Arkansas says, "It was shut up tighter than Dick's hatband."

I never lived in the South, but my daddy was from Oklahoma and my mama was from Arkansas. About 50% of these were said all the time in our house.... I had to share this with all the relatives....

Yep, I had a boyfriend from Texarkana who said this all the time, but it was
"Is a frog's ass watertight?"
"Is a frog's ass watertight?"

"Gawd bless the pig!" - A, my redneck friend, in reference to all things pork related
"The devil's beatin' his wife" - when it's simultaneous rain and sunshine
"I got the 'itis." (pronounced Ah-tiss) referring to food comas
"I'm fixin' to go..." - any task or action in the immediate future
Ah, Tallahassee. More like Talla-nasty.
