Comments:Per an old timer I knew many years ago: back when fur trappers were common, they marked their traps with a stick floating above the trap and told no-one for fear of poachers. The greatest mark of friendship and trust was to let someone set their traps near yours. Hence the expression, "My stick floats with his".

Comments:My grandmother use to say:

Don't let them know where your goat's tied.

Meaning, if you let someone know where your goat is tied they will get it. TRANSLATION: If you let someone know what makes you mad or bothers you they will continue to do just that thing to make you mad and to bother you.

As I translated to my kids: if a kid on the bus grabs your hat and you let him know it upsets you...they will continue to do it. Now I hear my kids saying to thier kids "Don't let them know where your goat's tied."

Comments:My mother must have had hundreds of old saying, two of the more crude ones were:
1. If something was really sweet and chocolate she would say "this is rich as 10 foot up a horse's ass."
2. My mother had been sick and my then husband asked her how she was feeling and she said, "I feel like I have been dragged up shit creek and beat over the head with buzzard guts".

Another thing she would say not crude if she said no and really meant it she would say "no sir ree bob tail".

Comments:I was born and raised in Upstate SC, I can remember my brother teaching school in another state and said to a group of other teachers, "it looks like it's coming up a cloud" and nobody knew what he was talking about. We also called moths "miller bugs", dragonflies were "snake doctors". I have many more of these some not so nice.

Comments:Where these actually came from I'm not entirely sure, but growing up in rural Kansas these are a few that you could hear down at the co-op.
If you were over worked or not feeling well, etc.:
"I feel like a one-legged midget in an ass-kicking contest."
If someone was plain stupid:
"He's dumber than a sack of hammers"
Really busy:
"I'm busier than a three-legged cat trying to bury a turd in a frozen pond."
If it's raining really hard:
"It's raining like a cow pissin' on a flat rock."
Someone who's ugly:
"She's uglier than a mud fence."

Comments:I'll never forget the phrase my dad stated after I commented on some writings that were on a restroom stall .. he said "Fools names 'n fools phrases are always seen in public places". That echoes in my head every time I see it and I just have to smile!

My grandfather would say "Chickens today....feathers tomorrow"...in place of here today, gone tomorrow.

My mother's phrase always comes to mind whenever I face something dreaded (ie: medical tests, surgery, etc.)...
"Just take the bull by the horns 'n git 'r done". That tidbit has brought me thru so very much and I've shared it with many!

Comments:I once was told by a doctor when I was in my early twenties that "All things come to those who wait, including the 'wild goose'" and think about this statement for one moment.

If all things come to those who wait, doesn't that suggest that the 'wild goose' doesn't wait.

And then in the next breathe, the 'wild goose' is included with the coming of all things, who wait!

What has waiting got to do with coming of all things?

I always thought that 'weights sink ships!"

Can someone explain this to me?

dont give a rats ass
up a creek without a paddle
dumb as a box of rocks
meadow muffin....a cow pie
don't know shit from shinollah
so ugly would chase flys offen a wagon load of goat guts
caint rightly tell
over yonder a ways
slicker than owl shit on a wet branch
could sell shit to a stable
butter would'nt melt in his mouth (a liar)
would rather climb a tree n tell a lie than stand on the ground n tell the truth.
beat you with a knotted ploweye
strange as all get out
weirder than a two headed cat
has a head thicker than a brickbat
give yah a whuppin yah won't soon forgit
don't give a hoot
get shed of that (to get rid of whatever)
more n one way to skin a cat
ain't worth a plug nickel

Comments:Oh my, my favourite old saying is IF YOU CANT BEAT EM,JOIN EM! This just has so much potential of becoming a modern and cool word for the teens to use. I saw some young people mention this phrase in a youtube video, you should check it out

It was quite interesting to see, however todays society is based upon bullying. My dear old mother used to say this all the time and it is so close to my heart. I grew up with that.
