My great grandpa use to cut up with kids by asking, "You from around here, or do you pick peas?"
I got civil war letters from the family, and when they invited folks over to eat a good meal the would say, "Come over and I'll tighten your belly bands".

"grabbed em by the hair of the head"
an alergy or a sinus headache is just a "sinus"
a bar is a "beer joint"
and my favorite, a fly swatter is a "fly flap"

Blowing smoke up your butt, which I found out comes from an old medical procedure where they gave tobacco smoke enemas !
My father was a source for old sayings, one of my favorites was, "you be that end of the horse, I'll be the head"
Do it again, I didn't feel nothing, when you hit your hand or head.
Its your lie, tell it like you want to.
Sulled up like a possum with a sweet tater
He cain't help his mama and daddy ain't married
He tons of them, I've seen a lot of them already posted

Rather pack butter up a wildcats butt with a red hot pitchfork than mess with him.
Hotter than a two dollar pistol on a Saturday night
Madder that a wet hornet
Looks like two coons fighting in a croaker sack, describing a fat womans butt in tight clothing
You'd rather walk through a lions den in porkchop drawers
Rather walk through Hades in gasoline drawers and kerosene pants

"Put that on my account...on account of I ain't got no money".
Heard that all my life and wondered whether the "shed" was like shedding an antler or if it was "shet", a mongrelization of "shut". Most of the people I heard saying it were much exposed to the Scotch Settler ancestry, and I wondered if it could have meant "cut off from or shut away from".

This one drives me up the wall. Not really a saying, but rather a single word. Not just old timers, but pretty much everyone.
"My starter needs a new silenoid", is how it's almost always pronounced.
It's "solenoid", folks. That's an O, not an I, after the S. Where in the heck does the typical pronunciation come from?
It's pronounced "saulenoyd".

"Put a scotch under that wheel, so the truck don't roll".
hmmmm - a chock is a scotch?
I guess that's from when most folks carried a bottle of scotch under the seat, and whipped it out to chock the wheel.

Try TY-YOTA!
Yep - I hear that all the time. Same guy that says that, also owned an Izusu Trooper and Izusu Rodeo. Yep - that's how he pronounces it. And the guy actually has a Master's Degree in education.
