SEC=UGA Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The one that annoys me the most that the wife uses is, "I got tickled." when she is recapping a funny thing that was said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'm hotter than a two pecker billy goat in a pepper patch. I'm happier than a peach orchard hog. There's nothing wrong with loping the mule as long as you don't have to call it up. Look at mister fancy pants wearing his Sunday-go-to-meet'n clothes.

DMD Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Lose my religion - get mad ("Keep it up and you will see me lose my religion") All ya'll - everybody ("I am not talking to you, I am talking to all ya'll") Dumber than a fence post One difference in East Texas is that most any male younger than you can be addressed as "boy" with exception to blacks who may take great exception if they do not know you . And my all time favorite which I repeated each time someone stopped at the gas station I worked at (back in the final days of full service) and asked me for directions - "you can't get there from here" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliaz Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 growing up in south county (southern Anne Arundell County) I've heard a ton that have stuck with me over the years. When we moved from south county into PG county, my best friend's dad was a Vietnam vet and his whole bike club hung out at their house all the time so I picked up a bunch from them guys as well. All and all, they all sound redneckish. I had to call the wife and a few friends to remember some of these... It's raining harder than a Bull pissing on a flat rock Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park He thinks the sun comes up just to hear him crow I'm as mad as a mule chewing on bumblebees He/She/It is about as useful as a back pocket on a T-shirt Colder than a witches titty Better pack your lunch and bring a flashlight Dummer than a box of rocks/doorknobs/coal Harder than pushing a greased string up a turtle's arsse Queerer than a 3 dollar bill He/She/You/Me will worry the horns off of a goat Don't throw the baby out with the bath water He/She is about as useful as a soup sandwich They looked like a couple of monkeys banging a doorknob (personal favorite) Fish and guest stink after 3 days Can't get blood from a rock Can't polish a turd "x" is harder than a preacher's pecker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboysDiehard Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I'm hotter than a two pecker billy goat in a pepper patch. Dude...I'm originally from Central Texas (Brownwood) and never heard that one! The big one I recall, and didn't see listed was "Fixin' to..." as in "We're fixin' to go to the football game, what are ya'll doin'? Now...off to practice that two pecker goat quote...don't want to mess that one up when I bust it out this summer!
