Where did you hear that one Geron?

I had neve heard it.

‘Course in Dakota it was either rainin’ or not, no missin’ very often.

Out in Idaho we got the Seattle weather and it was missin’ and foggin’ and mossin’...but I never heard anybody use the term.

A heavy rain was a gullywasher or a frogchoker.

A bathroom break is "Going to see a man about a horse." -- a Florida cracker expression. When someone keeps handing you the wrong tool or is sitting there doing nothing that's "as useful as tits on a boarhog." - swampeast Missouri

"Happy as a pig in sh!t." - Ozarks

A bench-clearing fight on a ball field is a donnybrook. - St. Louis

When you are working a job where nothing you do seems to work is being "stuck like a turtle on a fencepost," an expression from farmers who when plowing put any turtles they find on fenceposts until the work is done and danger is past. Most turtles keep paddling the air for a while before giving up.---- Illinois

"You are a scholar and a gentleman." - said to anyone judged to have integrity. --Illinois

My dad's : "If you don't stop crying I'll give you something to cry about."

And another one he used a lot when kids whined too much : "You are going to like it whether you like it or not."

And another : "Go tell your mother she wants you."

Or "Go play in the street."
