Anonymous Masterpiece
For anyone not born in the Lone Star state, the Texan accent and the cowboy colloquialisms can be impenetrable. Here are a few to brush up on...
· "The engine's runnin' but ain't nobody driving." – Not intelligent.
· "As welcome as a skunk at a lawn party." – Really not very welcome at all.
· "Tighter than bark on a tree." – Not the most generous of people.
· "Big hat, no cattle." – All talk.
· "We've howdied but we ain't shook yet." – We’ve made a brief acquaintance, but not been formally introduced.
· "He thinks the sun come up just to hear him crow." – He has a pretty high opinion of himself.
· "She's got tongue enough for 10 rows of teeth." – My goodness, that woman can talk.
· "It's so dry the trees are bribin' the dogs." – We really could use a little rain around here.
· "More 'fraid than a long-tail cat in a room full of rockers." – Somewhat lacking in courage.
· "Just because a chicken has wings doesn't mean it can fly." – Appearances can be deceptive.
· "He looks like the dog's been keepin' him under the porch." – Not the most handsome of men.
· "They ate supper before they said grace." – Living in sin.
· "As full of wind as a corn-eating horse." – Rather prone to boasting.
