finer than hens teeth

I believe it is because they don't engage in conversation any more. They text each other from room to room and are even texting whilst one is trying to engage them in some other activity. If they live in an echo - chamber all of the time, no new stuff is likely to get in there and stimulate anything.

I call it kitty corner

My husband, when I'm helping him do something, will stop for a minute and say to me "Just hold what you got".

Also saw a sign in a store in the TN mountains that said "Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, look who's here". Never heard that before!

Here's one you probably don't know or won't appreciate. From my grandaddy, "she's so skinny she has to jump around in the shower to get wet." I can just hear him know, makes me laugh!

I've said a bunch of these for years....some others I say are:

Her butt is 3 axe handles wide

or

Her butt looks like the south end of a north bound mule

My favorite saying is "If I tell you a chicken will pull a plow, you get the harness."
(meaning I only state the truth or facts)

He's meaner than a junk yard dog.

HAHAHAHAHA I just had a good laugh. I havent heard some of those sayings since my Grandmother passed. I just took a walk down memory lane. Thanks for the post.
The one I remember is mader than a wet hen. Have you ever seen a wet hen???? oh yeah that's mad. hahahahah

when we had forgotten to comb our hair,Gram would tell us,
"your hair looks like a hoorrah's nest" We never did figure out what hoorrah was. rofl
If I frowned, Mom would say that my face would freeze like that.
Where do they come up with this stuff??

I have heard my Gramma say (about a really ugly cousins baby)

Dey gonna hafta tie a pork chop round that baby's neck ta get tha dog ta play with it.


My Mom's were;
I brought you inta this world & I'll take you out of it...

I am gonna smack you into next week.

I rarely got a spanking,

how about 'madder than a stepped on rat?' or my friends dad would always say "off the electric,willlya?" and if you had a flat tire..... up the tir...hahahahha..
