April 25, 2004southernismsI absolutely LOVE the vivid images that Southerners throw into their speech. You can sample a few good ones here, but I know a lot more of them. *He's as lazy as a cut dog *He was as happy as a dead pig in sunshine *That woman could suck a golf ball through 30' of garden hose. Take the chrome right off a trailer hitch, too *That shit was hard as Chinese arithmetic *He was as happy as a dog with two dicks *If brains were gunpowder, he couldn't blow his nose Too few people in this country understand the meaning of "y'all," "yonder" and "directly," too.

How about "uglier'n a barrel of assholes"? Posted by: Ruby on April 25, 2004 01:00 PM"Damn, it's hotter in here than 2 rats fuckin' in a wool sock." Posted by: rightisright on April 25, 2004 01:07 PMlol now that DrPhil has gained in popularity, some of those southern sayin's are makin' it up north. Posted by: LoisLane on April 25, 2004 01:16 PMI'll be visiting my sothern roots next week. I'll be so glad to be back in a land where boys are taught to be polite and men will give you to eye no matter what you look like. ; ) Posted by: Symph on April 25, 2004 01:38 PMWhen my granny saw somebody do something stupid she would say, My daughter was "y'all"-ing within a few months of moving to the south -- cracked me up the first time I actually heard it come out of her mouth over the phone. The one I real liked though when I was out there in Feb (sorry we didn't have time to get back up to Savannah for your Blog Meet -- too many other peoples' schedules to deal w/) is "Fuck all y'all" -- love it! I've kinda adopted that as my own personal motto! Used to know a guy who would say "Ain't had this much fun since the pigs ate my baby brother." WTF?? Posted by: Marianne on April 25, 2004 03:28 PMYou need to add "and what not". Course, that might be unique to N.C. Posted by: Sam on April 25, 2004 05:12 PMDays of the week - as they are heard in most parts of Kentucky. Mun-dee Your Southernisms reminded me of a good book. If you're looking for a viciously funny read, try Florence King's "Southern Ladies and Gentlemen." No one is immune from her scathing barbs. Enjoy!
