God willing and the creek don't rise

My granny used to be great at those sayings, must admit this is the only one I really remember.

Better lite a shuck. Colder than a witches tit.
Dropped him like a hot potato. Snug as a bug in a rug.
She's a real cold fish. He thinks he's hot stuff. Boy did she take him for a ride! Chewed me up one side and down the other. Just fritterin away your time. Boy did she ever come out smelling like a rose!

That is the way I also grew up. No crafts allowed on Sunday and no going to the movies. I don't go by the no sewing on Sunday rules.♣

How about..... "he fell out of a stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down". Or if you don't want to get in on an arguement..."I don't got a dog in that race". we say catty wampus for kitty corner. As someone else said, if you live in the south they are a part of everyday conversation.

make a mountain out of a mole hill.
out of sight out of mind.
turn about fair play.
couldn't get a word in edgeways.
got sold down the river.
put on your glad rags.
keeping up with the Jonses.
don't know his arse from a hole in the ground.
don't know s--t from shinola. boy I'll never let him shine my shoes!

Cat's meow. The younger kids use LIKE for everyother word. When I was teaching a few years ago, it was, 'She goes, He goes' and I would say--Where are they going? Or people say, 'You know' all of the time.

My Mother use to say if you sew on Sunday you rip on Monday.
