----------
Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit, and that you don't "HAVE" them,
you "PITCH" them.
_____
Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens, peas, beans, etc., make up "a mess."
_____
Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."
_____
Only a Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is, as in: "Going to town, be back directly."
_____
Even Southern babies know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular, sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the middle of the table.
_____
All Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.
_____
Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'!
_____
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that"just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.
_____
Only a Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.

In the South, “y'all” is singular, “all y'all” is plural.

Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.
_____
Every Southerner knows that tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; that scrambled eggs just ain’t right without Tabasco , and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.
_____
When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin'," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!
_____
Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.
_____
And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say,"Bless her sweet little heart"... and go your own way.
_____
To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southernness: Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the morning. Bless your little heart!
_____
And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all this Southern stuff....bless your hearts, I hear they’re fixin' to have classes on Southernness as a second language!
_____
Southern girls know men may come and go, but friends are fah-evah !
There ain't no magazine named "Northern Living" for good reason. There ain't nobody interested in livin' up north, nobody would buy the magazine!

Now Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or wish they had a’been! If you're a Northern transplant, bless your little heart, fake it. We know you got here as fast as you could.

Thanks Myrna,

Y'all kin speak Suthin' purty durn good! Thanks for sharing these with us my Friend.

Following are some actual expressions, primarily from the Southern United States. Many of these colloquialisms are fading away, as they aren’t often continued by younger generations. But many of us have fond memories of hearing many of these funny sayings and expressions back when we were knee high to a bull frog. My grandmother used many of these old expressions even back when I was over the hill picking watermelons (before I was born).

Well that just dills my pickle!

That’s about as useful as a trap door on a canoe!

You look about as happy as a tick on a fat dog.

I’m finer than frog hair split in the middle & curled on both ends.

He couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.

*He’s busier than a one-legged man at a butt kickin contest!

She was so tall if she fell down she would be halfway home.

He was as mad as a mule chewing on bumblebees!

You’re lyin’ like a no-legged dog!

Excuses are like backsides. Everybody’s got one and they all stink.

That was faster than green grass runs through a goose.

She could make a preacher cuss!

You could start an argument in an empty house.

That coffee’s strong enough to float an iron wedge.

You look about as happy as a dead pig in the sunshine.

He’d gripe even with a ham under each arm.

Why are you smilin’ like a goat in a briarpatch?

Our preacher’s as full of wind as a corn-eating horse but each one of his sermons is better than the next!

He’s so windy he could blow up an onion sack.

He’s so useless if he had a third hand he would need another pocket to put it in!

Why don’t you just take a long walk off a short pier.

They’re off like a herd of turtles.

She’s resting in peace in the marble orchard.

He's currently a Guest at the Gray-bar Motel.

Well, don’t you look prettier than a glob of butter melting on a stack of wheat cakes!

He’s about as handy as a back pocket on a shirt.

She’s so clumsy she could trip over a cordless phone!
(yeah, my great, great grandfather used to say that one when he was a boy).

He’s about as useful as a pogo stick in quicksand.

If brains were leather, he wouldn’t have enough to saddle a junebug.

Well, if that don’t put pepper in the gumbo!

Well, slap my head and call me silly!

Well tie me to a pig and roll me in the mud!

Well tie me to an anthill and fill my ears with jam!

He’s not particularly intelligent. The engine’s runnin’ but nobody’s driving. In fact, if his brains were dynamite, he couldn’t blow his nose

Bless his Heart, He’s so dumb, he could throw himself on the ground and miss.

That boy’s two bricks shy of a full load.

I think that boy’s about two sandwiches shy of a picnic.

I think he’s one fry short of a Happy Meal.

He’s so rich, he buys a new boat each time one gets wet.

She's got champagne taste with a beer pocketbook.

He’s tighter than a flea’s rearend over a rain barrel.

He squeezes a quarter so tight the eagle screams.

It’s so dry the trees are bribing the dogs.

It’s hotter than two rabbits making babies in a sock!

He’s not particularly handsome, in fact, he’s uglier than the east end of a horse headed west and he looks like something the dog’s been keepin’ him under the porch.

He is so ugly that my mother had to tie pork chops to his ears so the dog would play with him.”

She’s so ugly I’d hire her to haunt a house!

If I had a dog as ugly as him, I’d shave his butt and make him walk backwards.

* My Personal Favorite

Hope at least a few of these brought you a Smile or maybe a Giggle.

Have A Terrific Day,

Phil

Hello Friends,

Following those familiar expressions, it seems only appropriate to have a few famous "last words"...

What could possibly go wrong?

Don't worry, I've done it a million times!

Watch this.

Don't turn it on yet, it's not quite ready.

Don't worry, it's not used any more.

Step back a bit, I can't get you in the picture.

Listen, I'm taking a course in chemistry, I know what I'm
doing.

Yes of course the elastic is strong enough.

I wonder what happens if these two wires touch.

I thought it tasted rather strange.

Well "I've" never seen one that big.

Go for it! What's the worst that can happen?

You have driven this before, haven't you?

And that one over there, the red flashing one, what does
that mean?

I've never had one of these fail to open before.

Are you sure they don't mind you taking their honey?

It's ok, I saw them do it on TV.

Let's see what this baby can do.

My mom's at the mall, go ahead.

That was our turn back there...

It's peacetime, let's enlist.

How much worse could it get?

Y'all stay safe out there now, ya' hear!

Have A Great Evening,

Phil

Hello Friends,

Here's a few more funnies that I ran across over the past few weeks.

Walmart Shoppers

A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.

"What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife.

"They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans," he replies.

"Put them back, we can't afford them," demands the wife. So he does and they carry on shopping.

A few aisles further on along, the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.

"What do you think you're doing?" asks the husband.

"It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replies the wife.

Her husband snorts: "'So does a case of 24 cans of Budweiser, and it's only half the price."

On the PA system: "'Cleanup on aisle 25. We have a husband down."

_______________

From The Mouth Of A Child

Several years ago, when I lived in New York and flew to customer sites often, my wife would usually drop me off at Newark (N.J.) airport and pick me up when I returned. On one trip, I was only going to be gone for a few days, so I drove
myself and parked the car at Newark.

When I returned, the weather was lousy, and it was late at night. I wanted nothing more than to get home to the comfort of my wife and my own bed. When I arrived, the storm was very loud, with crashing thunder and severe lightning. As I came into my bedroom about 2 a.m., I found my two children, Alex (3) and Cindy (12), in bed with my wife, Carolyn, apparently scared by the loud storm.

I resigned myself to sleeping in the guest bedroom that night. The next day, I talked to the children and explained that it was okay to sleep with Mom when the storm was bad, but when I was expected home, please don't sleep with Mom that night. They said okay.

After my next trip several weeks later, Carolyn and the children picked me up in the terminal at the appointed time. Since the plane was late, everyone had come into the
terminal to wait for my plane's arrival, along with hundreds of other folks waiting for their arriving passengers.

As I entered the waiting area, Alex saw me and came running, shouting, "Hi, Dad! I've got some good news!"

As I waved back, I said loudly, "Hi, Alex! And what is the good news?"

"The good news is that nobody slept with Mommy while you were away this time!" Alex shouted.

The airport became very quiet as everyone in the waiting area looked at Alex, then turned to me, and then searched the rest of the area to see if they could figure out exactly who his mom was.

_______________

Pay Your Taxes

The other day, my little brother, Clay, and little sister, Laura, were waiting in the truck with my mom when my brother got a worried expression on his face. He asked, "What does the government do if you don't pay your taxes?!"

My mom replied, "Well, they'll send you a letter that says that if you don't pay your taxes, you'll go to jail."

My brother got very upset at this thought and said, "We don't pay our taxes."

My mom quickly explained that you only have to pay your taxes once per year, and he just hadn't ever noticed my dad when he was paying ours.

"But no! Laura and I have never paid our taxes!!"

_______________

Jealous Eve

After Adam stayed out late a few nights, Eve became suspicious. "You're running around with another woman...admit it!" she demanded.

"What other woman?" Adam shot back. "You're it!"

That night, Adam was fast asleep when he was awakened by Eve poking him in the chest. "What are you doing?"

"Counting your ribs."

_______________

Password Audit

During a recent password audit by a company, it was found that an employee was using the following password:

"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"

When asked why she had such a long password, she rolled her eyes and said, "Hello! It has to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital."

Have A Great Day & Keep Smiling

Hello Friends,

Just wanted to stop by and share a few Smiles....

Get Well Quick

A little boy sent a "get well quick" card to his grandfather in the hospital. Inside the card he wrote:

Dear Grandpa,

Mama tells me that you went to the hospital for some tests. I hope you get an "A"!

Love, Billy

_______________

Baby Sister

Used to being the center of attention, Robbie was a little more than jealous of his new baby sister. The parents sat him down and said that now that she was getting older, the house was too small and they'd have to move.

"It's no use," Robbie said. "She's crawling good now and she'd probably just follow us."

_______________

Breaker, Breaker, Dog Buddy

My Nephew Ward owns a shiny green four-wheel-drive truck and he also owns a 110-pound black labrador named Tony.

On trips, the dog generally sits on a platform behind the driver's seat, resting his huge head on Ward's shoulder as they travel cheek-to-cheek. Ward did not give this cozy
arrangement a second thought until the day he took Tony with him on a trip to Montana.

While listening to his CB radio, Ward overheard one trucker remark to another, "See the little green four-wheeler you're about to pass? When you go by him, take a good look -- see if that's really a dog driving."

_______________

The Bagpiper

My friend who is a Bagpiper, plays many gigs. Recently, he was asked by a
funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man and asked me to go along with him. The poor man had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country.

As my friend was not familiar with the backwoods, we quickly got lost; and being a typical man, my friend wouldn't stop for directions. We finally arrived an hour late and saw that the funeral guy had evidently already finished and that the hearse was nowhere in sight.

There were only the diggers and crew left, and they were eating lunch. Of course, my Friend felt bad and apologized to the men for being late. Then he went to the side of the grave and looking down, saw that the vault lid was already in place. Not knowing what else to do, he started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. He played out his heart and soul for this man with no family and friends, like I'd never heard him play before. Finally, as he played "Amazing Grace," the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together.

When we finished, he packed up his bagpipes and we started for our car. Though our heads hung low, our hearts were full.

Then, just as I was opening the door to the car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Ever wonder why men just don't ask for directions?

Have A Terrific Weekend Friends,

Phil
