"X" is xtemporize
« Reply #13290 on: May 30, 2007, 09:15:28 am »
Pickup truck acting up?  A true Texan will xtemporize repairs using only chewing gum and baling wire (if for no other reason than to show his wife that it can be done).

def. = to prepare in great haste, under urgent necessity, or with scanty or unsuitable materials; as, to xtemporize a dinner, a costume, etc.

"A" is arrive

When you've waited all day for your Texan lover to arrive, make sure you skeedaddle to the swankiest motel in town.

A big Texan welcome back.

"B" is beds

When you and your Texas lover skeedaddle to the swankiest motel in town, and the receptionist asks "two beds or one", just coolly say 'two' - but inquire if one of them is a queen-sized bed.

Your post tells it all.
It was a spiritual visit, you lucky dude.
"...and the great dustiness of the northern plains came down upon him...."
SO Cool.
And a whiskey toast to our boys too!
Welcome back.

"C" is college

Since real Texans love football, a college football game just might be the place to meet the man of your dreams.  Just ask Lashawn.

"D" is demureness
« Reply #13295 on: May 30, 2007, 01:08:32 pm »
Proper young ladies in Texas have expanded their code of behavior to include foregoing demureness in favor of approaching a bashful suitor with a perky line such as: "What are you waitin' for, cowboy, a matin' call?"

=aside=Paul
We missed you!  Welcome back.  :-*

"E" is elegantly

Benefit dances in Texas are swanky affairs, attended by the elegantly dressed Childress gentry.

Texas is nice, but Wyoming is spiritual.

"F" is flutter

When approaching a bashful suitor, a proper young lady from Texas will flutter her eyelashes while uttering a perky line such as: "What are you waitin' for, cowboy, a matin' call?"

"G" is garnish

Any Texan will tell you that a savory garnish is the finishing touch to a Thanksgiving turkey.

"H" is harboring
« Reply #13299 on: May 30, 2007, 05:30:19 pm »
When a  proper Texas gentleman is flirting with another proper Texas gentleman, he is to suggest a secluded fishing expedition, harboring no doubts that his meaning will be misconstrued.
