A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.

There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of the live in Texas.

There are also 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in Texas, plus a couple no one's ever seen before.

'Onced' and 'twiced' are words.

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy

Jawl-P? means, Did you all go to the bathroom.

People actually grow, eat and like okra.

'Fixinto' is one word. It means I'm going to do that.

Backwards and forwards means I know everything about a subject.

The word 'jeet' is actually a question meaning, 'Did you eat?'

You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is...you work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

Ya'll is singular. All ya'll is plural.

All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect, or animal.

You carry jumper cables in your car for your OWN car.

You only own five spices: salt, pepper, mustard, Tabasco and ketchup.

You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

You know what a hissy fit is and you don't have 'em, you pitch 'em.

Fried catfish is the other white meat.

I know quite a few of those~~I must be at least a little Texan then~~
How about~~
I could sit still for that.
You can’t beat that with a stick.
He’s on a first-name basis with the bottom of the deck.
There are a lot of nooses in his family tree.
So crooked that if he swallowed a nail he’d spit up a corkscrew.
Crooked as a dog’s hind leg.
Crooked as the Brazos

These I have said number of times, really~~

If that ain’t a fact, God’s a possum.
You can take that to the bank.
You can hang your hat on it.
You can bet the farm on it.

She could start a fight in an empty house.
He’d argue with a wooden Indian.
Just fell off the turnip (watermelon, tater) truck.
He’s so country he thinks a seven-course meal is a possum and a six-pack.

Ya'll talk pretty dang funny down there
I’ll be there with bells on soon enough....
and I’ll wear my Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes.
as long as it ain't hot as Hades.
