Southern Hospitality, Southern sayings

10/17/2014

Southern Hospitality, Southern sayings a little bit of fun.

Thought I share some Southern saying just in case you might be a visiting your southern relatives.

First and foremost, a Southerner has to be modest and never highfalutin and be friendly at all times, even if you don’t know the person from a hole in the ground.

Some of these saying have explanations but others you jest might have ta figure out on ya own.

Ain't got the good sense God gave a rock~ Someone who lacks all common sense 

Too big for your britches~ To take yourself too seriously 

Busy as a cat on a hot tin roof~ Too busy attending to your own immediate needs to do anything else

Catawampus / caddywonked~ Sideways 

Cain't never could~ You never will if you don't try

Carry on~ To continue on foolishly, usually referring to a tantrum or fit

Clicker~ Remote control 

Access road~ Service road; the road that allows you entrance to the highway

Directly~ At that moment, shortly or within a couple of weeks 

Fixin' to~ About to 

Hold your horses~ Be patient 

Madder than a wet hen~ Angry 

Mash~The first stage of making moonshine 

Playing possum~ Playing dead 

Prettier than a glob of butter melting on a stack of pancakes~ Looks extremely good

Reckon To~ Believe is true
