 More Texas sayings that are a bit funny and a joke. This is what happens when I am bored. I post silly stuff.

Those are hilarious! I love them! And my grandparents are from the South so these make ABSOLUTE sense to me! Plus I married a guy from Virginia and he's got a million of them.

Can't wait to see more!

Wuggles!

PS - thanks for the add on Flixster and here on LJ!

Pleased as punch you found them funny. Delighted you found me. Thanks for adding me on both sites.

The sayings are interesting, even more for me because I'm not English. "The Bus" was fun *is still giggling*

Did you know there is a large part of Texas that was settled by Germans? There is a small TX town called West. It has a huge 4th of July fest with even a beer tent and street dance. One of our favorite local food is chicken fried steak which is really schnitzel.

I know several Germans [from Hessen too, even from my village - and if I'm not wrong, some ancestor (a cousin of my great-grandpa I think, I would have to ask my parents again)] went to America. No clue where the people from my town ended in America but I didn't know that some were in Texas too. *nods* chicken fried steak is one of my favorite, I like the meat better then pork or beef.

My dad's family is from Germany, but he never told us anything about them. Quite often, once they arrived in America they didn't want their children to learn the German language, but to be an American in every way. So sadly, a great deal of my family's history is missing. We didn't know that one son in each generation was named Clint till my brother named his son, Gary. My father was very angry with my brother. Seems by brother was the seventh generation to be named Clint. My nephew is the only male grandchild so that bit of history was lost to us. I know more about my mother's family history. That side of the family is Irish.

Loving the joke.

Hey there! Robert got home a few hours ago. Had all he could take, I guess. His mom tried to get him to stay another week. She put a guilt trip on him and his aunt to get them to stay. His aunt has a child beginning eight grade next week so she had to get back. He isn't saying much about the whole thing. He seemed to be a bit upset so I didn't push.

Loved the joke and loved the saying about boots in the oven!

*huggles*

Glad you got a giggle from them. :)

Thanks for those.

I was talking to Mum about your Texan posts today - and she said did you know the phrase - "It is enough to make your ears laugh" ... In other words the fruit is not ripe and is very sharp.

Never heard that one. LOL. We would say it makes my butt hole pucker. IE-sour.

We lived in Germany for awhile. First time I came home I was in Safeway buying groceries. I bumped into a Mexican lady and I said "Entschuldigung, bitte" which means excuse me, please. She look at me like I was a crazy person. Was hard to switch it off. Still use German phrases at times. Wish I could speak other languages better. I did understand German better than the English when I was in New York. The accent there made it difficult for me to understand.
