I thought it would be fun to have a place where we could post things you might say if you're a "farmgirl"....Like, "let me grab my boots, it is getting deep in here"...............when someone is "spreading it thick".... Or "telling whoppers"... or "spinning a yarn".....

Hmm... I've heard all of these at one point or another, but haven't really used any... I think I'll adopt the fly in the ointment one, as that's most appropriate for my life right now. LOL

"Couldn't hit a bull in the arse with a shovel" was my Dad's favorite, particularly if hammering something and missing the nail. The air was a little bluer if said hammer hit a finger!

My mother used so many sayings, I got used to them. For instance, when a child was a lot like their parents and would act it out.....say a child was strong-willed or determined or musical or artistic....and so were the parents, mom would say, "well he/she didn't lick that off the wind." It meant the direction that trait came from did not have to be guessed.

My dad had several, my gran had several, my mom had several...and I say them all.
I didn't come down with yesterday's rain (meaning, I'm not that naive, or simple)
Get outdoors and get the stink blown of ya!
....Like a duck on a junebug (meaning excited about something, or tackling something with gusto)
Busy as a hound dog with fleas...

When I'm having one of those days where I can't sit still for ten minutes without jumping up to do something else my husband tells me I'm just like a worm on a hot rock.

Grandma was always warm and even in the winter with snow outside she would leave a window open. This made my usually very calm Grandpa grumble,"Were you born in a barn??" After which he usually closed the window.

I really like hearing these!! Here are mine:
"since I was knee high to a duck" (never said grasshopper when I was younger so I dunno where I got duck from)
"I'm full as a tick on a dog" after eating a good meal

When I was younger, in the winter, my mom would always say "It's colder than a well-digger's shovel out there"...not that it actually ever gets cold in Texas...at least in my hot as heck part...
