Look what the cat done drug in
Slow on down... darlin’!

Or get’n your knickers in a knot!

Or Root Beer

We also got shrimp... just boiled

We also got gloves... half a dollar

Well, I’m worn slap out!

Watcha have a hankerin for?   

Take your own sweet time!  

Sit a spell

You’ll soon be full as a tick on a big dog!

Happy as a dead pig in sunshine!

You’ll wanna slap yer mama!

Still...can’t make up your mind?

Well... I can’t do it fer ya!

You picky?  

(Lawd have mercy!)

Bless your heart!

It’s a Southern thing! Had 3 pounds of mudbugs for lunch today at JuJu’s Crawfish Shak in Fannet!  Be sure and stop by if you’ve got time!
I swear this is word for word!
