RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Idioms)
We'll call these southern US idioms.
- In a coon's age. - meaning a long time. "I haven't seen him in a coon's age"
- 6 of one, half dozen of the other - meaning either is fine. "which'n do ya want? 6 of one, half dozen of t'other"
- I do declare - being surprised or excited "I do declare, I h'aint seen you in a coon's age"
Bonus
Three sheets in the wind - your drunk
Madder than a wet hen - pitching a fit mad (lol, really mad and acting like it)
Showing your butt - being or acting stupid
Happier than a hog eaten slop - Really happy
Do you know this one? (Learned it from my sister's southern boyfriend but don't know the meaning)
"He could eat corn through a picket fence"
And what about "shittin' in high cotton" ?
Lol, yes i know both...
The first one means someone had gaps in their teeth or missing teeth. "His teeth were so messed up, he could eat corn through a picket fence."
The second means doing really well, when cotton gets tall it produces more cotton, so more money. A lot of people say sitting in high cotton, meaning making a lot of money from a business.
Hey you spelled learned wrong..... in the south it is learn't......

lol, you can also add "Cotton pickin" to just about any phrase and make it work, just add it as an adjective. It's usually used to indicate you are frustrated with something.

Bless your heart. ;)
Yep, that's the get out of anything card.
You can say just about anything, even if it's mean and follow it with Bless your little heart, and it's ok because you were just trying to be "nice"
Bless their little heart, they were clumsier than a crosseyed coonhound.
