*Colder than a well diggers ass in the Yukon.*





Yup, I heered it, once.


Not for the faint of heart, this is from "Redneck Rampage" (video game)

"I'm so hungry I'd eat the ass end of a menstural skunk."

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

WHAT! No one has  mentioned this yet.

"Here, hold this."....usually spoken just prior to some dumb stunt.

"You ain't gotta hair."... also usually spoken just before some wild stunt....and is short for "You ain't got a wild hair on your ass if you don't do it"

"Did you get a wild hair up your ass or sumthin?"....usually spoken right after some dumb stunt.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I've lived in E TN for 25 years, and while I have heard many of these and used a bunch.....close friends from Arkansas who have lived here about 30 years.....use more of them.

Maybe it's where you live in the south?

Proper use of the term y'all:
y'all- any number of people

Plural form - all y'all
Plural possessive - all y'all's
Singluar form - one a y'all
