"sun don't shine twice on a skinny dog's ass"

[pistolpadre]

This is about phrases.. a university kid would call it "lexicon", a liberal might call it "quaint"..To most of us it's just how we talk.. it's what we are..

That being said it's a REAL important part of what we are.. born in TX but raised in rural ILL. Fact is rural folks do talk different.. were supposed to.. not going to do a primer on this one, you get it or not.. but there's another thing i've noticed. those expressions that i thought everyone knew.. turns out they don't.


I told a neighbor i liked my work bench.. told him it was "hell for stout".. guy sorta looked at me.. "you mean it's well made" .. sigh.... told my son-n-law i believed in the belt and suspender approach to a problem.. got a blank look..


So this should be fun.. got a favorite expression that gets you a blank look.. share it.. Or maybe ..and know you do .. have one of those expressions that just says "rural". and makes you smile..


By the way that title is from a buddy down in Tucson.. Brownsville boy.. always good from a "quip".. and like this one, bout half were sorta puzzl'n..

He couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel.

Hotter than 2 rats f'n in a wool sock.

Busier (or happier) than a 2 dicked dog.

You'd argue with a stump.

To a skinny person - You're gonna shrivel up and blow away.

That dog won't hunt.

If you can't tie a knot, tie a lot.

When you're dumb you gotta be tough.

Life must be tough when you are stupid.

Happier than a puppy with two peters.
