  1. I would have to say I am a from the south born and raised in Mississippi. I have not heard half of these so i am wondering were the came up with these. Sometimes people try to make the south look stupid we are just like everyone else we just might say yall and not you all..

  2. Oh, God. Riann- Why don’t you just take the joy out of a thing. I’m from Tennessee and I’ve heard a lot of these. Maybe you’re just too good for your raisin’ cause these sayings are AMAZING!

  3. Well I don’t know how old you folks are but I am 52 and I have heard variations of all of these. Some more than others. I, of course, am from Alabama.

  4. I grew up in MO, but my daddy’s family was from all over the south..Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, I have heard most if not all of these sayings! My relatives were in no way stupid, they were just down home type people. Don’t be offended by these sayings, I am proud to have southern roots in my family, and wish I had been raised there!

  7. It was a Texan who told me once when I was just a teenager: Why you ’bout as cute as a speckled pup, in a red pick up, on a sunday afternoon”

    I never forgot that

  8. I was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs

  9. Your argument’s thinner than the broth made out of the shadow of a chicken that starved to death!

  12. He so ugly he could eat corn through a Pickett fence.

    I’m so nervous I could thread a sewin machine backwards, while its running!

  13. I have heard most all of these.Some of the phrases here are a little different than the way I have heard them from the old timers I knew but basically the same meaning.I remember alot of the crazy old superstitions too,my grandmother lived by them.Thank you for posting them.

  14. Here’s a quote for JZ who said Alabama is gay…It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt…Mark Twain

  15. I’ve heard some of these with variations & simplifications….though some of the below seem a bit contrived to me; like something someone NOT from the south might imagine a southerner saying.
    I agree; often people not from the south assume people who are from that part of the country are dumb, inbred etc…my parents & their parents are from Ga, Miss & La & all were anything but dumb – in fact, were very shrewd, quick witted & were natural BS detectors.

  16. I am from Indiana by ways of Kentucky(LOL) and I have heard most of these plus some. I love these sayings and before you know it your passing them along. Told my kid the other day if she kept acting up.. I was going to knock her into next week! She was stunned but then started laughing and wanted to hear more. Thanks to all those who came before me for keeping it simple.
