TEXAS TALK

The engine's runnin' but ain't nobody driving	Not overly-intelligent
As welcome as a skunk at a lawn party	(Self-explanatory)
Tighter than bark on a tree	Not very generous
Big hat, no cattle	All talk and no action
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	That woman can talk
It's so dry the trees are bribin' the dogs	We really could use a little rain around here
Just because a chicken has wings doesn't mean it can fly	Appearances can be deceptive
This ain't my first rodeo	I've been around awhile.
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
Time to paint your butt white and run with the antelope	Stop arguing and do as you're told
As full of wind as a corn-eating horse	Rather prone to boasting
You can put your boots in the oven, but that Doesn't make them biscuits	You can say whatever you want about something, but that doesn't change what it is
