Stop lollygagging and get it into gear.
Get a grip...get a handle on yourself..
Tonight we are hobnobbing with the upper crust.
Just a stone’s throw away.

“He’s/ she’s got cooties”

What does that mean? Lice? Bad vibes?

where we moved to when i was a kid, the folks were Scotch-Irish. Mostly Presbyterians or Methodist. They still used colloquialisms from the olde country.

One of my old relatives whose parents were born in Scotland used the idiom "a-" before a verb to mean someone was in the process of doing something.

"He was a-goin' to the racetrack, when..."

"She was a-whoopin' an' a-hollerin' when she saw that polecat..."
