My mom always said when things were really good or you came into some money we were "sh**ting in tall cotton. As a kid if you got into trouble you were "too big for your britches". We always eat "lunch" at noon and "dinner" after 5:00 p.m. My granny always wrote in letters that she was doing well by saying we are just "fat and sassy" We go "up to the lake" and "down to the river". Sometimes we encounter a "crick" sometimes it's a creek. We loved eating "chicken-fried steak with fried taters and gravy" our biscuits and gravy were called sos. Always drink "soda" and sit on a couch. That is all I can think of for now. This is a great topic - so interesting to hear about the way everyone speaks...
