Knee high to a grasshopper. Just a piss ant. Git gone.

Directions usually include landmarks that no longer exists - Drive down thar, go around the bend a ways, and a bit past where the Brown's ol' barn used to be...

Southern dawgs know when and why it's time to co'mon and git in the truck.

Not to get folks all in a tizzy, there are still old Southern black women who refer to themselves as Negras.

The best way to eat tomatoes, other than fried, is to pick them ripe and warm straight off the vine, take a bite and let the juice run down your chin (same with a peach). Or slather some mayo on a couple slices of soft white bread, add a couple thick slices of homegrown tomato and salt and pepper, and stand over the sink to let the juice run off your chin.

Scrambled eggs and brains for breakfast. Smooth gravy is gravy w/out flour lumps, not that any good Southern cook would make lumpy gravy. Fried salt pork. Pigs feet and pinto beans. Fried rattlesnake and fried armadillo. And watermelon rind is pickled. Actually, anything that will sit still long enough will get pickled.

The state tree of Texas is a pecan which is pronounced pu-con not pee-can. A pee can is an empty coffee can one takes on long car trips.
