What are some amusing/enduring idioms that are prevalent where you are?

Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.

“Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.”

The one I’m thinking of is so common – around the world, even! – that it no longer needs to be spoken, even. It’s “said” with a single upraised digit.

Of course, I know that some people comprehend the “thumbs up” gesture differently, so it’s not univerally understood the same way.

Boston heah.

A “Wicked pissa!” is something that’s really cool. A “Wicked f***ing pissa! is almost too cool for words.

“Potty platta”—You go downna stoah’s deli counta to order one of these when you’re having a pahty. Yes, yes, it’s really “pahty platta,” but hey, if you’re not from around here, the first time you ever hear somebody say it, it sounds like “potty platta.”

My grandmother used to say ‘the sky’s all in the north”. I’ve no idea what she meant.

You’re jumpier than a whore in church!

Here’s a blog with a lot more, it’s pretty funny and a long list.

I live in Florida, home of Disnay, so one popular idiom that came to mind is ‘he’s fucking Goofy.’

Its better than a sharpe stick in your eye.

I lived reading @KNOWITALL
blog site with the list. It really hit the funny bone!
Thanks

@Inspired_2write Yes, we have some very unique people but I have noticed a good sense of humor can bridge most personality or regional gaps. Basically, make a hillbilly laugh and you’re all right.
(You can also say “Sweating like a whore in church.”- that ones my favorite)

Bennies go home!

Jumpy as a longed-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

So hungry, I could eat the southern end of a north bound donkey.

“It’s comin’ a frog strangler out there!”

“Man, he was sweatin’ like a whore in church!”

“That looks a little cattywhompus.”

Dude, said with different inflections for slightly different meanings.

Dude, said casually, and a little drawn out, with a smile and a slight nodding of the head. Meaning: That was great! (or awesome, which in So Cal, kind of means the same thing).

Dude, said in a shocking, clipped tone of voice, and quite a bit louder than the above ^^ dude. Meaning: I can’t believe you just did/said/ate that.

Dude, asked as a question. Meaning: are you there/OK?

Dude, said rather quietly, whilst slightly shaking one’s head. Meaning: You should not have done that/said that/gone there.

Ha, good stuff, we have one here continuing the whore theme…“like a whore at a bastard’s christening” never quite understood what it means, but I can guess :D

‘G’day maaaaaate’ and ‘Shell be roight maaaate’

‘Carn the…..’

Aussie Aussie Aussie. Oi,Oi,Oi!

fank feck it’s friday ! oi oi oi!

I meant to answer this when it was new, but then I lost the link

Our Western states have phrases nearly as colorful as our learned colleagues from the South:

“He’s all hat and no horse.” (He’s a poser, impostor or bullshitter)

“He don’t have a dog in this fight.” (He is in an already lost battle)

“It was shining like a diamond in a goat’s ass.” (It was so obvious!)

@Blueroses I always took the phrase “I don’t have a dog in this fight” to mean “I don’t have an investment in the outcome.”

@janbb It works that way too. It depends on whether you’re speaking of yourself or someone else.
