My husband, from good old Broadway VA, coached high school football for 40+ years used this one to describe a very skilled player: “ he’s got so many moves you can’t catch him in a PHONE BOOTH”……..for those of us who remember phone booths…😂😝
You two are so cute and so funny! Believe me, I have heard many Hillbilly Sayings some of which originated in WV. Thank you for this different video. God Bless you and your family.
This intro followed by the first saying cracked me up 😂 Growing up my grandparents had a bit of a farm. Ducks, geese, chickens etc…The one rooster they had was my grandpa’s bestie BUT let me tell you, that rooster hated every other human That little meanie would chase us kids around PECKING at our heels as we ran for cover lol
I've heard the one about a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers. I think a couple place to hear some of these is in a Jeff Foxworthy video. Our Pineys have some phrases too. I actually have a book of them, but all my books are in storage at the moment. "A pig in a poke"- I remember hearing that on Dukes of Hazzard, I think. "Scarce as he's teeth" - I've definitely heard that one. I've also heard "not the sharpest tool in the shed" plenty of times. I've also heard "dumb as a box of rocks" many times, as well as "dumb as a post". I guess that would be referring to a fence post. I've also heard the "in a coon's age" several times. Also "knee high to a grasshopper". I've heard that a lot. "OUt of the frying pan and into the fire" and "the pot calling the kettle black"- those are both pretty common. Anyway you guys are too funny. 😂
Good video. Many years ago when my parents bought their first home, the realtor told my father that his credit was "Cleaner than a hounds tooth". At work years ago we used the expression "Blind dog in a meat house" to the manager's dismay when discussing a production issue that's obvious. 😂
A close work friend used to say "Well, that dog won't hunt"...meaning a particular idea or approach is going to fail. It was always humorous to see management's facial expressions when he would say this in a design meeting! I'm still unsure if they actually understood the meaning or were just annoyed at the comment! lol
Interesting! I had heard about 70% of those from my mother, or others, born nearly a century ago, and 1500 miles N/E of you. It makes me wonder how old those sayings are, and how they got communicated/propagated. 🤔
The only sayings I’ve never heard was hair in a biscuit and hit a lick at a snake. My dad had some good ones, like if we were going for a ride after church, he’s say we were going up Mike’s and down Jake’s. One of my favorites is full as a tick, lol. A man I worked with always say finer than frog’s fur. BTW, be careful saying coon’s age these days. I got in all kinds of trouble for saying that up North.😊
