"The onliest thing I know"

I swear, I knew a guy who would often use the word "onliest" and he was only the 2nd person I ever heard use that term.

The first was Ken Curtis who played "Festus" on the old tv show "Gunsmoke" as Marshall Dillon's deputy.


ETA: "Quit stroking the fur and get to the hide"

When someone is kind of beating around the bush when they want to tell you something you likely don't want to hear.

Just another way of saying "Just spit it out"

Yeah, as a kid growing up in the 50's we never caught tigers when doing the "eenie, meenie, minie, moe" thing either.

You could catch a whole bag of what we caught in the nut section of the grocery store.

On holidays when everyone sat down to a big spread to eat, my aunt would always chime in,

"I wonder what the poor people are eating?"

"That guy couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel."

"Drunker than Cooter Brown"

"Y'all done ate yet?"

When I first went to LSU, my roommate was from Jena, so obviously we were some good ole boys who had trouble communicating with people not from NLA/MS. Would always walk by lobby in the dorm and say it really fast and everyone would be like "Wtf are you asking?"

Personal favorites: "I'm fricked up like a football bat" and "I'm gonna have to sit on the shitter over that one.."
