my hubby wants me to add his favorite saying that kept him sane while working in the prisons.

Never have a battle of wits, with an unarmed man.

[QUOTE=legzzalot;we simply call southernisms.

I'm really from Jersey where we'd say "Time to put on your nasty pants" or "Time to put on your big girl pants"

Here in Maryland (Which is the very beginnings of the South, they wanted to be the gray Rebels in the Civil war, but them Northeners made them join the Blues to give the North access to DC), but we are below the Mason-Dixon line (But so is Jersey on part of Cape May!!!), anyway here we say we learned "Don't get your panties in a bunch."

Ali~ that was priceless!!! Yeah, who needs fruit!!!!

Every time my Dad would go to get a haircut he'd say "goin' to get my ears lowered".

He'd also say (about someone who lacked common sense or manners) "he's got no couth".

My dear, sweet Mom, who only swore in Norweigan when I was little so I wouldn't pick up the bad language (or if I did, not many people would know what I was saying), still has a saying when someone asks her "What's for dinner?"..Her reply is Fried (fill in the blank) and Pickled (fill in the blank).. You may or may not have to use your imagination here, 'cause I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to use such words on this site..

She's also the smart *** who answers the question "How are you feeling?" with "With my fingers"..
Yup..This explains a lot, doesn't it..

A friend, who used to live in Mississippi, had a saying. When someone was resting under a shade tree, after working hard, you'd say....."hey boy, off your dead *** onto your dying feet...outta the shade and back into the heat".
