I just surfed into your
web
site on hillbilly talk,and I really enjoyed it. Here is a good
hillbilly
phrase you might want to add to it: "Gitcha sum
smarts!" Thanks for
the great site...

I thought of a couple of the ways the southern people used to talk.
One is "Yore as purtee(pretty) as a speckled puppy under a red wagon".
Instead of saying idea,
it
was idear. I am only guessing at the spelling of
this word "watta" for water.
Instead of hour it would be "houver". Flour
would be "flouver"
My mom had a funny
saying;
I used to have styes all the time on my eyes.
She used to say "go to the
cross roads and say stye stye go away, go to the next person that
passes
by."
Another way instead of reached down and picked it up,it was retched down. When we were warm she would say "snug as a bug in a rug."
Hugs! Alice

There
is an old expression when you like something real well (like this
site):
"gooder'n salad; better'n taters!" And, because I have Irish genes, I
will
share my favorite pub toast with you: "May those that love us, love us
And those that don't love us... May God turn their hearts; And if He
doesn't
turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we'll know them by
their
limping!" Here's to ya!
I love it,Diane.Thanks!

Here's
a piece on what I make of road signs: And what do ya make of roadsigns? I can't ever get the one that says 'yield' understood. When I see 'yield' I think of a recipe book. When I bake cookies it says the recipe will 'yield' 2 or 3 dozen. Does that mean if pass the 'yield' sign on the highway my car will give me 2 or 3 dozen pieces? And that other sign that says "slow children playing". Does that mean that the children there playing are 'slow' as in a little touched, or they are two slow to dodge the cars and need to speed up?
My husband says it is a good thing that I don't drive.

one mistake........in the 'When Fishermen Meet'
Wahchoozin --- What are you using?
Gobbawurms --- should be Catabaw worms (these are
fuzzy
caterpillars that live in Catabaw trees and are used for fishing,
especially
when fishing for Carp, Bass and Crappie - in Alabama that is
pronounced
'croppie' but in Georgia it is pronounced 'crappy'). Just
thought
you'd like to know.
Keep
up the great page, it is priceless!!

At the police station, Bubba explained to the police officer why his cousins shot him.
"Well," Bubba
began,
"We wuz havin' a good time drinking, when my cousin Ray picked up his
shotgun
and said, 'Hey, der ya fellows wanna go

"And then what happened?" the officer interrupted.
"From what I remember,"
Bubba
said, "I stood up and said, 'Sure, I'm
game.'"

57.
On
Saturday
mornings,
it's acceptable to clip your toenails into last Monday's cheerios.
(discard
clippings, then throw away the bowl, too.)
58. When your celery starts to look like a month old seaweed, quickly search for signs of intelligent life. If you notice a response, notify your nearest biological lab. If no intelligence is evident, you can throw it away.
59. It's perfectly okay to buy vegetables and keep them hostage until they are dead. (Of course, you shouldn't eat them.)
60. Trash removal is a lot easier/cheaper if you just throw it in your neighbor's yard.
61. McDonald's Special Sauce Secret Ingredients: Thousand Island salad dressing. Impress your friends with your gustatory expertise. Especially effective with Bachelor's Breakfast; Bologna and cheese on green bread.
62. Mouldy orange juice will either get you drunk, or kill you. (It would make a good experiment for a biology lab, don't you think? Or perhaps just reserve it for those rats who keep waking you up at night.)

64. If you find bits of food on the floor, it's perfectly acceptable to eat it if nobody sees you. (But you should at least be able to identify what type of food it is, first.)

66. Do not try to make french toast, an omelet, or grilled cheese in a toaster.

69.
Just
because it says "Milk" on the label, Phillips Milk of Magnesia is no
substitute
for real milk on your cornflakes.
70. That white chunky stuff floating at the top of your milk container is not cottage cheese. Don't try to use it on your microwave lasagna.

72. In the unlikely event that those "M-80's" shatter your toilet, it can be stuck back together with automotive windshield silicone sealant.
73. Beer is a good fire extinguisher. Pure Grain Alcohol isn't.
74. Certain types of pizza are still edible after 5 days, even if stored at room temperature.
75. Food dropped on the floor can still be eaten, provided you pick all the hair and lint off it first. (Blowing on it helps scare the germs away.)
76. Peanut butter kills the mold on bread. If your loaf went bad, stuff yourself.
77. M&M's add color to faded carpet. Just grind them in with the heel of your foot. (Corn chips can provide a good balance to them.)
78. Cigarette butts and broken beer bottles are desirable lawn ornaments.
79. Contrary to what you see in the movies, telephones won't work from the bottom of fish tanks.

investment.)
85. You cannot get drunk from red wine vinegar.
86. Keep a bucket handy for those party guests who can't handle their alcohol, if you have any furnishings you care about.
87. Five minutes for a clean house: Use a garden hose. (you'll need a good spray nozzle for this.)
88. The bathtub is a good place to clean dirty engine parts.
89. If, for any reason, the dog is on fire, put it out. (Fire can spread quickly if you let the dog wander around the house.)
90. Pouring liquid down the back of a television is a bad idea. Express this to any guests you have.
91. If you have a bf/gf you really want to impress, offer them a seat. Scrape the crust off first
92. Duct tape can repair almost any damage done to a beanbag chair, save complete immolation, or an accident involving a chainsaw.
93. Chainsaws are not considered "common household implements."
94. Corn starch will not put a crease in your shirts.
95. When you find that bone-dry, 2 month old burrito in the bottom of the couch (when searching for beer money,) you can soak it for 20 minutes to restore freshness. (If it's older than that, it will *dissolve*.)
96. If you've ran out of dog food, don't fill his bowl with cheap salsa. (You will need a garden hose to clean the house if you do.)
97. If you haven't placed new hinges on your front door after that party incident with the police, you can block unauthorized entry with a wedged two-by four under the doorknob.
98. For security, you can park your motorcycle in the house. Just don't fall asleep when it is running.
99. Do not try to remove facial hair with an epilady. (Rather, try one out at the mall on some arm hair to see what it's like. Bring extra cash to pay for the display case you'll throw it through)
100. If pressed for time, you can shave, brush your teeth and wash your hair while showering. (Don't try to blow dry your hair, though.)
101. Don't hide your girly mags under the seat cushion of the sofa. This is the first place your gf will look.
102. If your medicine cabinet contains more than 1 box of unused floss, one bottle of aspirin and cough syrup which expired in 1983, empty it immediately.
103. There's no law saying that the socks you're wearing have to match. They may match two socks in your dresser, but even this is merely a fashion suggestion.
104. You must immediately buy every kind of kitchen cleaner known to man. Place them in the cabinet under the sink. Never touch them again.
105.
Keep your CD collection spotless. An hourly cleaning schedule is not
unreasonable.
Ignore the rest of the house.
106. If, for some reason, your walls have water stains, hang empty picture frames over them. For authenticity, scribble fictitious signature below. (Brag about how well they go with the room.)
107. Replace all the light bulbs in your apartment with multi-colored party bulbs.(These work particularly well with christmas tree lights.)

Two rednecks go on a
fishing
trip. They rent all the equipment - the reels,
the rods, the wading suits,
the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the
woods. I mean they spend a
fortune!
The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.
As they're driving home they're really depressed. One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred bucks?"
The other guy says, "Wow!
Then
it's a good thing we didn't catch any
more!"
