Fun Southern Sayin's

Pulled these six out of a list of 13 that I saw recently... figured these are six sayings I might at some point actually try inserting into conversation. :)

1. "We're living in high cotton."
Translation: times are good.

2. "That's about as useful as tits on a bull."
Translation: meaningless, worthless

3. "He thinks the sun comes up just to hear him crow."
Translation: a person is full of themselves, cocky

4. "I'm finer than frog hair split four ways."
Translation: super-positive, optimistic response of a person feeling on cloud 9

5. "You look rode hard & put up wet."
Translation: a person looks worn out, tired; reference to a horse who was worked hard and not put up properly afterward

6. "She was madder than a wet hen."
Translation: very upset, mistreated
