[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 2286986, member: 3649"] "He don't know s**t from shinola." He has no clue what's going on, or is not as smart as he thinks he is. "You'll get the Fu Manchu!" You will acquire a hideous un-named disease of a fatal nature if you put that in your mouth because it is filthy. "A*holes and elbows" We will be retreating from the situation so quickly that those are the only parts of us you will see. "We've been Fobbed." We have been screwed very badly in the same manner that a former Governor screwed up the state finances. "That dog don't hunt." 'That idea will not work' or 'what you are telling me is not the truth' "Knock him out, John!" You don't hear this much anymore. Used to be a general exclamation of joke bad advice. Derives from Mississippi comedian Jerry Clower's tale 'A Coon Huntin' Story', where this guy, having treed a coon in a coon hunt, is persuaded to climb the tree and knock the coon down to the ground where the dogs can get it. He does so, only what he whacks with the stick is not a raccoon at all but a large bobcat that proceeds to maul him. "Consider the source" Said in response to a repeated bit of gossip or stupid advice A "pure T", as in a "She had a pure T fit over that dress." I have no idea what the hell this means and neither does anyone else. It's probably a corruption of 'pretty' "You and Cox's army" You and a lot of other people might make me do this. I have no idea who Cox was. "My hand to God" I am telling the truth "God's willing and the Creek don't rise" We will get it done unless God doesn't want us to or the Creek indians don't come and kill us all. "Yeller Dog Democrat" You don't hear this much at all anymore. Someone who would vote Democrat even though the Democrats were running a yellow dog as a candidate. "I need to pi** like a racehorse." I must urinate copiously. Play Pretty Toy (juvenile) Miss (first name) Term of respect given to a (usually elderly) respected female, whether she's married or not. "Wally World" Wal*Mart "Well, La De Dah" It's a sarcastic retort, usually means 'Well, isn't he acting above himself?'. [/QUOTE]
