--- Quote from: Shasta542 on December 28, 2008, 08:42:19 pm ---Cooter Brown is a name used in metaphors and similes for drunkenness, mostly in the southern United States. Cooter Brown supposedly lived on the line which divided the North and South during the American Civil War, making him eligible for military draft by either side. He had family on both sides of the line, so he did not want to fight in the war. He decided to get drunk and stay drunk for the duration of the war so that he would be seen as useless for military purposes and would not be drafted. Inebriety has been measured against Cooter Brown's extended binge ever since by use of the metaphors "as drunk as Cooter Brown" or "drunker than Cooter Brown."

David, I just want ya to know, I was on the phone with Richard not long ago....as I was talking to him, he shouts ....."Oh damn! Another Indiana car is here!"
So I told him about your reply here, about people from Indiana plotting to invade Georgia, and he laughed and said "Well, he needs to find out who these people are, so he can hitch a ride and come see me!"
