Lord have mercy, it has just come up a frogstrangler over here.

Damn, it's going to take me forever to get back out of my Southernisms. It's crazy--I had been in Mississippi no longer than a couple of days before I noticed myself saying things like "don't know nothin'."

......but are you fixin' to?

My grandmother is still the one to have said my two all-time favorites.....including "Like a dog tryin' to pass a peach pit. "

which begs the question . . .

what's the other all-time favorite?

Hehe, peach pit, that's classic . . . :)

And damn right I'm fixin' to! Or, even better, fittin'a. That's how us folks from WAY down home say it!

"She was so mean, she coulda laid down in a bed of rattlesnakes and they wouldnt'a noticed."

your southernisms are part of your charm.

my favorite to come out of the years I spent in NC was "that [person] fell out the Ugly Tree and hit EVERY branch on the way down."

My favorite is from my Stepmother Teeny's old Aunt Lizzy... she told my Dad:

"We ain't gonna bury ya. We're gonna shove a bone up yore ass and call the dog to drag ya off."
