And one my GrandPa was fond of when scolding children:

"Boy, I'll beat you so fast the neighbors will think I'm pattin' for you to dance".


or....


"When I get done whippin' you, your ass won't hold corn shucks"

Ok. I'm about as Southern as they come, but I have zero idea what either of those two mean, beyond the fact that I don't want them directed at me. (Did I hear banjo's?) Against my better judgement, I will ask for a translation. Or, in keeping with the spirit of this thread, can you put it down where the dogs can lick it?

As to the first one....it's pretty self explanatory.
Sans instruments, back in the day folks used to clap their hands or 'pat' their knees with their hands to keep time for dances. He was simply inplying that he would beat on us so loud and fast that the neighbors would think he was keeping time for a dance.

Hell, I'm southern and I don't know about the second one myself....but I've heard it from many folks.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

How old are some of you guy's?

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~poindexterfamily/OldWestSlang.html

From the Redneck Manual for Personal Enjoyment:

"Well knock me down and steal muh teeth!"

"Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit."


"I'll slap you so hard, your clothes will be outta style."

"Cute as a sack full of puppies."

"If things get any better, I may have to hire someone to help me enjoy it."

"Gooder than grits."

"It's so dry, the trees are bribing the dogs."

"It's been hotter'n a goat's butt in a pepper patch."


"A bothersome person is "like a booger that you can't thump off."



"If something is hard to do, it's "like trying to herd cats."


"A hectic schedule keeps you "Busier than a cat covering doo-doo on a marble floor."

"She's uglier than homemade soap."


"He fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down."

"Uglier than a lard bucket full of armpits."



"I'm just about as welcome at my inlaws as a hair in a biscuit."

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

About as appealing as a sack full of assholes.

And

About as useful as tits on a bullfrog.

One we use at my place of employment

The floggings will continue until moral improves!
"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." - Jeff Cooper
Pericles--"Freedom is only for those who have the guts to defend it".

The problem with society today is that not enough of us drink wine from our enemies skulls”.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars!!!
-Sheriff Jim Wilson
"When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty" Thomas Jefferson
Es gibt keine Notwendigkeit zu befürchten, Underdog hier ist.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

Smells like a bouquet  of assholes.

If the truth won't set you free, LIE!!

I can't stand rude behavior in a man, I won't tolerate it.  Colonel Call.

If what you said was true, I'd agree with you.

Well let's all just stand up and kiss his ass.

If at first you don't succeed " try, try a gun "

Many from Theodore Roosevelt.

1) A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.
.
2) A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.

3) A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.

4) A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.

5) Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.

6) Believe you can and you're halfway there.

7) Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.

8) Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike

9) Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.  ;D ;D

10) Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.  ;D >:( ;)

11) Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind.

12) I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!

13) I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.

14) If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.

15) In a moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

16) It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.  ;D

17) Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.

18) The government is us; we are the government, you and I.  ;D ;D

19) MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE - " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."   AMEN

Amen, and Amen and again Brother, Amen. Why do we have to choose betwen BO and McCain? Where are men like this when we need them? No one wants to be the greatest generation, it just gets stuck in your lap. Well, here we sit, yet our leaders don't seem to get the gravity of the situation. It can be salvaged or it can go to hell. We need men and women who get this, and have Roosevelt's intellegence and grasp of history, not buffoons like Palin or Biden. Who is waiting in the wings? Boehner? Pelosi? Hardly!
I have no answers, but I will offer a song with absolutley zero sarcasm or irony, just a sad smile.

I too am looking for a new statesman, but one with substance, and back bone, a true leader. I cannot tell anyone who fits the bill.
