Within a lash

Between you me and the gatepost…

Don’t care if I do.

Sip 'N See

Fair to middlin’

He's country as a bowl of grits.

You can hear her three fields off.

Purtier than a peach.

Leanin' on the shovel

I feel like I've been chewed up and spit out.

A near man with a dollar.

No bigger than the little end of nothin’ whittled down to a fine point.

Sittin’ on the amen corner

This likker is just right; if it’d been any worse, I couldn’t have drunk it; if it’d been any better, you wouldn’t have give it to me.

It’s raining pitchforks and plowhandles.

Stand pappy

Took a heart burnin'

Cooler than a flip side of a down pillow.

That youngin is as wild as a June bug on a string.

You need to dance with them what brung you.

That’s the worst taste I’ve had in my mouth with the lights on!
