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!
