If he told you a hen dipped snuff you can bet the hen has her garret under neath her wing.
From a book that was published by a professor in east Texas about sayings around east Texas.
That reminds me of a saying around here, "He is so tight, he wouldn't pay a nickel to see a pizz ant eat a bale of hay"That reminds me of something a former co-worker said once: "If I tell you a pizz ant can pull a freight train you go ahead and harness him up."
My mom had our attention as well. I can remember every time she said son "no use in changing my mind when I'm right. "That was always followed with a come to Jesus moment.Have to agree with @Jeanne - Simme Valley .... my mom always said "you have to eat a peck of dirt before you die." Totally agree with the overly "sanitary sterilized" environment..
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Is that the same as "colder than a well diggers a$$" ?Not a favorite but seems appropriate here today. "Colder than a witch's tit in a brass brassiere."
I've always been told that and if you think about it animals react to the barameter so if cows are up and eating wouldn't fish? Goats? Almost anything?If the cows are standing, the fish are biting.
I have no clue if that's legit, but it's a common quote around here. We get calls/texts all the time, asking if the cows are standing, from friends that want to fish the watershed.
