We always went to 'the show' if we were going to see a movie.

And a new one on me as I spend more time in Northeast Ga.
LOAFER...I think I am just going to loafer today....(as in goof off)
I thought it was just one person using it but I hear it more & more up there.

Used like this where I grew up,

You gonna get anything done today or just loaf around.

Co Worker says this.

Me: So how are you doing?

Her: Just hanging in there like a hair on a biscuit.
A feller I used to work with, if you thanked him for something, he'd say, "You're as welcome as a hair in a biscuit."
