Expressions
I was just thinking that I’ve heard some really great sayings or expressions. When I was in Texas for six months, I heard more than I had bfore or since. But I’ve forgotten most of them. I was thinking that it might be fun to get my readers to chime in with their favorites. You don’t have to translate them if you only know them in a foreign language-I’ll forgive you.
My favorites are:
1. In two shakes of a lamb’s tail. This one makes more sense after youahve seen a lamb shake its tail. You have to have good eye to catch that.
2. More nervous than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. This is one of those I got from the great state of Texas.
3. Hornier than a ten-peckered rabbit. I take pride in having come up with this one all on my own. I guess it says a little bit about my own personal state of mind, though you may not like to know that.
So, what expressions do you like to hear?

An all time favorite of mine is:
He’s/She’s busier than a one legged man at a butt kicking contest.
I believe it also comes from the south.
For anyone who's never travelled to the southern states in America, an entire world of creative English is missed.
Sweatin like a whore in church.
