My grandparents used haint for any kind of spirit or ghost. If they were talking about a thing that had physical form it was called a booger.

My dad would call those people "blow asses" or he would say "all hat, no cattle" or "born on third base and act like they hit a triple."
If my dog looked like her I'd shave its *** and teach it to walk backwards.
My pops told me, keep in mind this is in the 50s, "if it has tits or tires, it will cause you problems."
The reason I dug this old thread up is because someone was bitching about the way UK won tonight and someone said "I bet you hate orgasms." I'd never heard that and think it is hysterical. Good way to say "nothing makes you happy."
Not a parent but one of my brothers after hearing a neighbor start an old truck on a cold morning. "Sounds like 500 cats eating fat meat."
"too windy to haul rocks"
an event that didn't have many people (for example the famous UK football game that marked Joker's exit) "ain't enough people to start a fight"
Useless as tits on a bull
Anyone else grow up calling a paper sack a "poke"?
I've seen "haint" mentioned a few times, he definitely said that, in a literal sense it was a spirit/ghost, but also used to describe an uncomely woman or a woman who was aggravating "aw don't pay her no mind, she's just an ol' haint"
That's just a bunch of "kyarn"
"dreckly" as an unspecified unit of time for later. "They're coming over dreckly", "I'll see you dreckly" etc
Great thread, glad to have seen it, brought some great memories up

Quicker than a cat can lick its ***.

Not my mom or dad, he passed when I was little but my uncles and mom raised me and this one guy that sold catfish they didn’t like, my uncles would say he’s tighter than a frogs **** and it’s waterproof 
My dad said that and when you asked where someone was or where he was going..."up a hen's butt for an egg sandwich"
As nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockin chairs.
Finer than frog hair split three ways.

Recently was "here while back".
Years ago was "way back yander".
The Depression was called "back in hard times".
The Devil was the "booger man". (The booger man is going to git you.")
A man who wouldn't work was "sorry as kyarn".

Laid up like a hair in a biscuit- if something was really stuck.
Ask him what time it is and he’d tell you how to build a clock- describing a long winded fellow.
Fast time and slow time.
Calling their dads daddy even when their dads were in their 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.
I’ve foundered- I’ve eaten way too much and I want to die.
“if hit had been a snake hit’d a bit you”
Bless his/her heart- (it was a long time before I understood this.)
Every crow thinks theirs is the blackest- a parent blinded by love.
Not having any “truck” with somebody- this must be truly archaic. I heard my grandma say this all her life. Not having any business with somebody.
To spark- to flirt. Also, courting. “You going a -courting”? in a teasing way.
The more I think of this I realize that a lot has been lost.

I called my father "Daddy" on his death bed. I was 57 years old. It's a country thing I guess. My kids stopped calling me daddy when they were teenagers and we moved to the city and their friends made fun of them. But the entire time I lived in Western Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky they called me that.
Another interesting one is that as the oldest son, my mother and father called me "Sonny" until they died. Every oldest son in the country where I grew up was called Sonny at home. The oldest daughters were called Sissy.

Good thread - Have a great Thanksgiving BBB ..
anyway Dad had a comment when I started dating a kinda thick girl back in the 8th grade - said she was a “ tape and chalker” I was confused and he explained “ if you went to measure her you would have to go half way around and chalk it off , then measure the other half “ .. lol
