Rural colloquialisms
I just read an article called "Speaking Arkansan" by a lady that had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. I love the language of country folks and some of the expressions they use. The lady who wrote the article defined the phrase " she could eat apples thru a picket fence" as an unattractive woman. WRONG. It's someone who is bucktoothed. I prefer the term, "She could eat peanuts out of a coke bottle".
My all time favorite was one my dad used when someone was confused or had to stop and think about something, he'd say "they look like a calf standing at a new gate."
If a person is going to speak southern, they need to learn to do it right before they open their yap
