Posted: 10/3/2007 3:23:19 PM | I heard this one about 3 months ago while attending a business dinner in Savannah on River St with an associate from North Carolina as the skies outside opened up upon us and from within the restaurant, she said "Lawd, Laura, it's a frog strangler out there!
Cracked me up!
We need some frog strangling rain around here! | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 5:54:38 PM | Great thread! My late husband was a Tarheel, and I got some of these from him, but my MIL was just a corker! And I lived in Texas, so I picked up a few there.
"I'm give out" -tired
"I'm restin my eyes lightly" - taking a quick nap
"Well, I'll be"! (I declare)
"I swan" (I declare again)
"Whistlin women and crowin hens" (not sure what the spell was, but it was when I was whistlin or otherwise engaged in doing something that met with disapproval, which luckily wasn't often)
"Cheat"? " Jet" (Did ya eat? Not yet)
haint - ghost
"I'm so hungry my stomach thinks my throat's been slit!"
"Don't try to teach a pig to sing. Won't happen and it annoys the pig".
There was only one time I didn't understand something my husband said. He asked me for a pillah.... I must have been brain dead, but he had been working on building something, so I said, "What pillah? How'm I gonna carry it? Where'm I gonna find one?" He looked at me like I was nuts. I still didn't get it. Finally he said, "A pillah to lay my head on so I can take a nap!!"
"I'm fixintocarry my mother to the Doctors"- taking my mom to the doctors
