I've been collecting 'old sayings', idioms. expressions, adages, proverbs.... for many, MANY years. It started way back in High School when I had an English teacher who required us to 'stand and present' one every day at the start of class. And it better not be a duplicate either.!!  You learned in a hurry to monitor (remember..) previously used expressions, because she certainly did.!!  Over the years I have completely filled two spiral bound notebooks and have started on a third. It's not a big 'thing' these days, but I still write down the good ones as I come across them.

Recently, I've started to focus a little on "southern" sayings, so I think I will use some of those here (at least for a little while..). Here's a couple of good ones from one of the notebooks.


 "That boy is as country as a baked bean sandwich."

 "That boy is so country he thinks a 7-course meal is a roasted possum and a six-pack."
