My mom had one she would say in CO. She would use it when someone was really angry or when it was really hot. "It's/Their hotter than a fart on a hot skillet". This still makes me chuckle 'cuz mamma never swore.

A grandmother is mawmaw and a grandfather is a pawpaw.
A great-grandmother and great-grandfather are peemaw and a peepaw. Go figure!
I live in a holler, go down the road a fer piece, drink soda, sit on a couch, go to town.
Winter can be colder than a well diggers a** or colder than a witches left titty in a brass bra.
I drive a pick-up and my son the trucker drives a truck.
A pole cat is a skunk, a ground hog is a varmint, a horse is a hay-burner.
We drink sweet tea but if you ask for sweet tea made
1/2 and 1/2 it means half sweet half unsweet (tried
that in CO one time and they actually put half and half in and told me the suger was on the table).
"Give me some suger" means you get a kiss and a hug.
A cellar is actually a root cellar out doors with four walls and a door to keep critters out that you store your taters and 'put up' (canned goods you canned yourself) in fer the winner (for the winter).
I use awl in the car not oil, wadder not water, crick not creek.
I can order 'red-eye' gravy, grits, greens, polk (means a salad), chicken fried steak that is made with beef.
And there is a difference between a red-neck, hillbilly, and 'po white trash'.
This one was fun.
