Are you by chance a Southerner? Love these sayings....they just about make up my entire extended family's vocabulary, LOL!
Oklahoma...is that close enough to Southern??? :0)
This is great! I grew up with many of the same sayings. These too:
"I'll be there with two pairs of pants and grease in my hair."
(to indicate being excited about an upcoming event)
"Make your tongue slap your brains out!" (if something tastes REALLY good)
I enjoyed this post :)
