I swear I didn't make this up.
 
It went along with...."They'll never buy the cow if they can get the milk free".




Here it is;


Don't make love at the Village gate.
Love is blind.
But the neighbor's ain't.

My old man said "swell," I said "neato or groovy," my kids said "wicked," and my grands say "sweet."

Wicked good

Down in South Carolina we say "hose pipe" which can mean anything from the hose nib to the hose itself all the way down to the hose sprayer.

I still say "Jiminey Crickets" when I really want to cut loose on the cussin'. Sometimes I'll through in Dagnabbit, more now with the popularity of the Geico farmer.

One time my dad banged his finger with a hammer and yelled "Dog bite a rabbit" but I never figured out what that meant.

Oh, and "You don't know sh#% from Shinola." That is old.

A friend of mine used to say "Better to be an old man's darlin' than a young man's slave" but I'm beginning to differ with her on that one.

And no one I know from the south really says, "Kiss my grits." That was just on TV.

How about a "2 cent plain"?

Lauren Sweeny 06-22-2014 07:59 AM

Meaning of " 2 cent plain" please?

Bonny 06-22-2014 08:17 AM

2 cents plain is a term for seltzer water. I think there is also an ice cream parlor in Jersey named 2 Cents Plain.
