re: Unique True Southern sayings

Moving North a while ago, the two that stand out to everyone else as completely foreign are: "might could" and "covered up" as a synonym for crowded.

"With your ugly grocery store feet"

"If!!"

"I like dat me"

"fricked up like a box of treble hooks"

About poor folks:

“They ain’t got a pot to piss in or a winder to throw it out of.”

There’s also an affect to inappropriately hang an “s” on the end of nouns too:

I’m going to the Walmarts

I got my CDLs

“How you?” when being greeted by waitresses throughout the South.

My Grandad always said:

That's slicker than owl shite

Or

That's slicker than a minners (minnows) dick

"I'm hangin' in there like a loose tooth"

"Dude is fricked up as a football bat"

"Same soup, different bowl" (same ole same ole)

"Girl is cool as the other side of the pillow"

No, it is used when someone doubts if you can get something done.

Wife: Honey I need you to do these 47 things for me today. Hope it isn’t too much to ask.

Husband: Don’t worry about the mule, just load the wagon.

“Where ya at”


Ask someone how they are doing.

"It's never easy."

Shakin' like a cat passin' a peach seed.
