Sayings You Were Raised Around

More convenient than cutting it off the cob yourself?

That’s a much better guess than I had before I looked it up

It refers to the fact that old stores (late 1800’s ?) used to put canned goods on a high shelf, and to get them down the store clerk would reach up with a stick and slide them off the shelf, and then easily catch the can as it fell.

Why would a witches tit necessarily be cold?

And why is having to "P like a Russian race horse" relevant? How do you know how a Russian racehorse P's?

It's hotter or colder than Cooter Brown. Time for a bath, you stink like Cooter Brown. Cooter Brown represented the highest or lowest you could go.
Daddy would always say "If I'm lying, I'll kiss a bald headed monkey." One day a coworker came in and had just shaved his head. I said "There's your bald headed monkey, daddy."
You can take your pissy panties off right now.
Live and learn, die and forget it all
Brush your teeth or they'll all fall out.
You can't soar with the eagles if you hoot with the owls. (The morning classic.)

Quite a few I can't post.

My mother says "warsh" too, and "Warshington". It's irritating, and I never let it pass...ever.

I'm guessing Cooter Brown was some idiot they actually knew. lol
The "Brush your teeth" one isn't so much a saying as it is good advice!

Cooter Brown is a pretty well known name in the South. Mostly I’ve heard about being drunker than Cooter Brown.

I was thinking that when her mom said she stank worse than Cooter Brown, at least she didn't transpose the names.

But, yeah, never heard of this Cooter Brown guy.

When you want your young child to take off his clothes for a bath or to get ready for bed you tell him to “skin a rabbit”. Then when you tuck him into bed you tell him “ goodnight, and don’t let the bed bugs bite”.

I never heard anyone say anything good about him.
