5th or 6th generation Caldwell County (Lockhart). My parents and grandparents had lots of sayings......
Some years ago I remember someone telling me about a time when they were told to go grab a switch off a tree. They did and when they returned the mother, father or grandma stated the switch was far too small. Adult went out and got a much larger switch and proceeded with harsh punishment!
Spot on! As a country kid I had to learn how to balance picking the right switch. Under no circumstances did you want the adult to pick it.
There was also the double-punishment.
If you got a spanking at school, you were getting another spanking once you got home.
Were you ever chastised by a family member of the Greatest Generation, of Silent Generation, to eat your food, and they'd say:
"Think of all the starving children in China."
(meanwhile, one country over--they're feasting in North Korea...)

Only once. I said, "well pack it up and send it to them."

"What's the scuttlebutt?" Often said while walking into the barber shop.
Yep, I played that card a few times:
"Ok, the kids in China can eat the rest of my plate. I donate it to them."

This would be one of those guys who "has a tapeworm."
He's also got plenty of "sand in his pants."
Perhaps he's also "too big for his britches" -- on multiple levels.
I'm not sure if he "puts his pants on one leg at a time" though. He may need an assistant and some rigging equipment to don his pants. I think he claims to be an elite basketball athlete though... He plays lots of one-on-one basketball games in North Korea, and nobody has ever beaten him. He's undefeated.

That's an old nautical term.

Chop, some of your old sayings "are the cat's meow"
... and "there's more than one way to skin a cat".

In 3 shakes of a lambs tail, go to Ester's Follies and check out my recently posted photos of Mira Sorvino.... take a yummy trip down memory lane.
Apparently, "purt near" is used as far North as Dillon, Montana.
Check this one out, it's Purt Near good as gold:
I think even the city folk in Wyoming are country folk.
