Expressions You Love!
Lynne:
I tend to like adverbs derived from adjectives, like relentlessly, endlessly, redoubtably...
CellarDweller:
I don't know why I like this saying, but it makes me laugh!
Whenever I get riled up or angry about something, or if I'm being extra "irreverent", I tend to hear people say:
"Well, you're full of piss and vinegar today, aren't ya?"

These are peppered with local characters like Ms. Clarisse Van Beauregard and Betty Jean Hackberry and places like Curly's Soonerco, and the Swayback Daily Kick newspaper. It's written by Gene Owens of South Carolina. You know of him friend Truman??

Here's an exchange from Buck's English:
"'How many drinks did you have at the Red Eye Saloon?' Hortense asked.
'Not many,' Luther said.
'How many is "many"?' Hortense asked.
'One more than I had,' Luther said."
