Waiting for 16 minutes until I go home. It's raining harder than a cow peeing on a flat rock.

It's 4pm here, rain started at 315 (hasn't rained all day today). Rained some Saturday/Sunday for about an inch or two total. In that 45 minutes it has rained today, all of the ditches are overflowing and running and its across the streets.

I've only ever known one person who used that expression, he was one of my bosses back in the 80s, really good guy, and colorful language.

When aforementioned boss used that expression, I'd always imagined it involved some splashback.

My goodness, so quiet here today, perhaps everyone is having a busy Monday. Hope you can spare a moment to squeeze in...

(chanted Wheel Of Fortune style) WORD OF THE DAY

Man Stand: The act of a man standing outside a shop while his wife/girlfriend/partner shops inside. Man Standing involves looking into space, at other women, or in the case of multi level shopping centers, leaning on the railings of an upper floor watching the people below.

A sentence with a Disney example: Man says to wife--"If you're going to browse this shop for $200 Dooney & Bourke purses I'm going to Man Stand out on Main Street until you come out."

You sound like you've had a load of experience in Man Standing Micca..

We've been married for over 40 years, what do you think? Actually I love looking at the shops at WDW, and I love it when DW finds something she likes. In other situations (i.e. the mall) we'll generally split up for an hour or so she doesn't have to endure my heavy sighs while she flips through racks of clothing.
Most of my man standing days are over though, I'm more of a man benching kinda guy now.

I'll join you!!!!

Now I want to hear everyone's favorite country (I figured I'd be nice and not say redneck) phrases.

My favorite is " I'm as happy as a dead pig in the sun." I think I like it best because of when and how I first heard it.

When I was a kid we had a high school Japanese exchange student stay with us for a month. She came over with a big group who was headed by a really friendly and gregarious English teacher. He had never been to Texas and he was fascinated by the colorful way Texans speak. During the trip he wanted to learn as many Texans idioms as possible. The night before they left his host family had all of the other families and their exchange students over for a party. During the party the host family presented him with a book on how to "Talk Texan." Upon receiving the book, he stood up and while grinning from ear to ear proudly announced "I'm as happy as a dead pig in the sun."

A zillion years ago I was working in Texas and my boss had hair that was teased and carefully done into quite a high updo every day. She knew her hair was big. She was the first person I ever heard say (with a smile) "You know, The higher the hair the closer to God."

Great saying.

Please no points........

Mine are not very nice

I'm going to put my boot so far some place, your breath will smell like shoe polish.

With those teeth he could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.

You can put lipstick on a pig but that don't make it a beauty queen.

A cat can have kittens in the oven but that don't make them biscuits.

I'll see ya later if the Good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise.

Give me a minute to think and I'll remember some more

Not sure if it is Texas, but we say....

Quit lollygaggin' around
Quit fiddlyfartin' around

Plenty of bogan Aussie sayings, not limited to the country either. I try and avoid them like the plague because urgh...and not DIS appropriate

My mother was from Oklahoma, very near the sacred mecca of Coweta. There was some expression about when things were going well for you, you were said to be "Sittin' in tall cotton." Only it wasn't "sittin'"

From what I've heard of Coweta, it must have been a terribly hard decision for her to make to leave that area. It has a Walmart!

When my mother lived in the area both she and Sam Walton were teenagers! BTW, Walton was from that area too, but the bustling metropolis of Muskogee beckoned.
