Texans are traditionally rather understated.

“Got me a lil’ spread” can mean “I got 60,000 acres o’ gay-ss’ wells.”

Or “only about ten acres” — of downtown Dallas.

I own a very small percentage of a few oil leases in Texas. Like, .004%. It's about enough to pay for 2 tanks of gas a year. ;O) Anyway, in our family, I refer to it as our vast Texas oil holdings. (We can overstate too.)
