It’s a Southern Thing!

If you were not raised in the South, these sayings could trip you up. But don't get in a tizzy, we're here to help.

There are sayings that well if you are not from the south, could confuse you or leave you to ponder how does one jerk a knot in someone?  And what’s a hissy fit?  A blogger recently wrote about these sayings.  For example, if a southerner is angry you may hear, “He’s got a burr in his saddle.  His knickers are in a knot.  She’s pitching a hissy fit.”  But if  someone is really angry you may hear, “She’s pitching a hissy fit with a tail on it.”  If there’s a reference to a dying duck fit run and hide!
