nice to meat you - being from Texas, I assumed you weren't a social vegan (or vegetarian of any kind) lol
also, hands down, the absolute best idioms come out of Texas; I have a very very long list of favorites (although oddly enough, I've never actually been to Texas myself) Some include:
"As exciting as a mashed-potato sandwich."
"If that ain’t a fact, God’s a possum."... like what?! lmao
"fat and sassy" <--- I use this one the most
"He’s all hat and no cattle." <--- this one seems especially Texan and I love it
"He don’t know a widget from a whangdoodle." <--- is this a sexual euphemism? or does it just sound like it? Either way, I like to use it as such lol
"Busy as a funeral home fan in July."
"A she-bear in satin."<--- LOVE this one
"They’re hitched but not churched."
"I’ll whip you like a redheaded stepchild."
"She’d rather shake than rattle."
"If he was bacon, he wouldn’t even sizzle."
"Just fell off the turnip truck."
"It’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick."
"He’s yellow as mustard but without the bite."
"She’s two sandwiches short of a picnic."
"He looks like the cheese fell off his cracker."
"Hasn’t got a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of."
"So hot the hens are laying hard-boiled eggs."
"Cold as hell with the furnace out."
"Nervous as a whore in church."
"As welcome as a porcupine at a nudist colony."
"Two hoots and a holler away."
"Things are going to hell in a handbasket."
"Sweeter than stolen honey."
"He’s like a blister—he doesn’t show up till the work’s all done."
"She can’t help being ugly, but she could stay home."
"If you break your leg, don’t come running to me." <--- simply puntastic!
I seriously can't wait to visit one day just so I can hear these expressions used with the authentic southern drawl in a proper Texan accent lol
