I grew up out west, but have lived in SC for the past 9 years or so. Fixin to move to Tennessee when I retire. I have one that my co-workers about choked on the first time I said it. Was a real heavy rain and I said "its rainin harder than a cow pissin on a flat rock".

I have enjoyed reading these post, my mother is from a small town in PA, and uses several of these in her speech. I think it is an Irish/Scottish thing as her family is from Ireland. One of my favorite is "He talks at random like a goose shi--ing by moonlight" for someone who is running off at the mouth. Another one she uses often is "He talks like a man with a paper A--." Diane

One of my faves that my great-grandmother "Mommy" used to tell us kids when we were too rowdy, she would say 'ya'll are like a worm in hot ashes!'.

Heheheheee!

Smarter than a tree full of owls.
Busier that a cat in a litter box.
Dumber than dog sh--.
Sweet as honeysuckle.
Happy as a pig in slop.
Like runnin with a one legged man in a sack race.
Quicker than greased lightnin'
Madder than a wet hen
Like a fart in a whirlwind
Funny as a one legged man in an ass kickin contest

This is one of my favorites. I feel like a redworm with the crap slung out of it. Meaning that I am very, very tired.

just moved to tn 3 weeks ago from michigan.
the only one ive gotten more than once is "no darlin we sure dont" its such a nice way to say no. i love it.
and ordering fast food can be an ordeal! lol.
but everyone says were hard to understand with our michigan accent.
the u.p.s man even said something...i told him my dad works for u.p.s im michigan..then said 'yup' he stopped, slowly turned with a big ol grin and said 'yup yup..thats a northen thing'
i quickly called my dad to let him know as he always made fun of me for saying it. yup and nuh-uh. were from a big irish family so that connection makes sence to me!


my favorite though is the story about the hair in the bread...who could be mad after that?!
