When I moved to Louisiana, someone would ask me to carry them to the store. Meaning, take me in your car. In East Tennessee a purse is a pocketbook. The trunk of a car is the turtle. In Alaska, you're prettier than a new set of snow tires. I don't know where it started but my husband heard a saying, that dog won't hunt, meaning whatever you are working on will not work. They are too big for their britches!
