Fast-Greased lightning

Cold drink-Belly washer

After the blessing- Every man for his self.

Fight- Knock a knot on yo head and dare it to rise.

Fine- As a frog hair split 3 ways.

 

[Da Possum]

It's hotter than the Dillard House far

Daddy used to tell me " Boy if you don't straighten up....Im gonna put something on your axe that Ajax wont take off". And he would.

Fight- Knock a knot on yo head and dare it to rise.

Fine- As a frog hair split 3 ways.

This made me chuckle. I had an old uncle that used to say "What bout we go down to the store and get us a belly wash and a pack of Nabs?"
Around our family after the blessing you always hear "Jump in here now, shy folks go hungry."

On cold nights by the old wood fired heater when I was a boy I would ask my Grandma. Grandma are your feet cold? No son she would say, my feet are "warm as tater pies".
I knew a man years ago when his children didn't do right he would say..If you don't quit dat I'm gonna be on you like "ugly on an Ape".

Co-Cola

My Granny called them "coca coler".
She also liked Diet Riet.

My favorite thing I remember her saying was, "go to sleep now son fer it'll soon be day"

R o C co coler and a moon pie

What did a Jerry say, send them the moon pies, park the freighter with RC off shore, guaranteed solution to an embargo.

 

[Fletch_W]

Hotter than a red fox in a pepper patch

Slicker than snake [poop]

Colder than a polar bear's toenails

 

[doublebarrel]

Looks like deaths playmate. BB

 

[Redbow]

I tell ye that man was "naked as a Jay bird".

That feller's elevator don't quite go to the top..

His radio ain't quite tuned to the station...

Weak as pond water.

 

[atlashunter]

She’s finer than frogs hair.

She’s uglier than horse apples in the rain.

It’s colder than a witches teat.

I’m so hungry my belly thinks my throats been cut.

He’s grinnin’ like a possum eatin’ chicken guts.

 

[Ruger#3]

Momma...”Purty is as Purty does.”

 

[Danuwoa]

Y’all ever hear the term jasper?

My granny used to use it. It’s sort of like rascal. Not exactly good but not bad either. Usually a man or a boy that was ok but you sort of had to watch him.

One of my favorite sayings of hers that I still use is, “You’ll hear everything but money jingling, meat frying, and folks praying.” Meaning people run their mouths a lot and it’s usually about things that don’t matter and usually things that aren’t good.
