A couple of my American baiting characters are from the South and like to use many of the colorful Southern phrases when communicating with the lad's. Just to make them scratch their heads. It has proven a great way to pull them off script quickly and waste a few more rounds of clarifying emails. It's not exactly de-education, but it's quite hilarious when they try to use my character's colorful expressions in their own context, always incorrectly.

So, here you go. Wacky Southern phrases to confuse the lads... I hope they dill your pickle.

LOL at the south end of a north-bound polecat. There are, of course, no east- or west-bound polecats — those are equatorcats. Very Happy

If you intentionally mix the sayings up or explain them wrong, you are de-educating. I once said to a lad "The bone you have!", using the wrong part of the body for the phrase.

"Well, ain't that precious!"

After a truly bitchy statement, add "Well, bless his/her heart!"

My lad was rather confuse when I told him that sending him a copy of my passport would be about as useful as tits on a bull.

I've also heard is as "on a boar."
I have more, but I'm busier than a one-legged man at an ass kicking contest.

It's a shame so much does not translate to the written word.

You could be "pert-near" to having the money to send. You know, at that WU caddy-corner to the Piggly Wiggly.

Australian slang works too.

"What do you think this is - bush week?"
- I'm not that stupid.

"Flat out like a lizard drinking"
- Busy

"They're racing at Manangatang"
- You're talking rubbish

"I hope your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down"
- I'm wishing you bad luck.

"Fair dinkum, cobber!"
- I'm telling you the truth!

"As mad as a cut snake"
- Really angry

"A few kangaroos loose in the top paddock"
- Crazy

A few I picked up from my six years in Texas:

"His eyes look like two piss holes in the snow" -- he's hung over, also "eyes like two cherries in a glass of buttermilk."

"One taco short of a combination plate" -- a little crazy.

*a little NSFW* - "He didn't have enough skin left to blink his eyes" - had a really large erection.

"I wouldn't wear that to a shit slinging contest."

And there are some things that you will NEVER hear uttered in The South:

"I visited Graceland and it sure was tacky."

"You can't feed THAT to the dog!"

Things tend to sound more romantic in Canadian, that's why they call it one of the romance languages It's just another one of their tricks they use to lure you into their pit of desolation and repugnant moral turpitude, but under that candy facade they are still 100% Canadian.
