Here's what the heck they mean in the Lone Star State...
The engine's runnin' but ain't nobody driving = Not too smart As welcome as a skunk at a lawn party = An unwelcome person Tighter than bark on a tree = Stingy Big hat, no cattle = All talk, no action We've howdied but we ain't shook yet = We've met, but haven't been formally introduced He thinks the sun come up just to hear him crow = He thinks his s#%! doesn't stink She's got tongue enough for ten rows of teeth = She's a talker It's so dry the trees are bribin' the dogs = Rain would be nice Just because a chicken has wings doesn't mean it can fly = Appearances can be deceiving This ain't my first rodeo = I've been around the block He looks like the dog's been keepin' him under the porch = U-G-L-Y They ate supper before they said grace = They're living in sin Time to paint your вuтт white and run with the antelope = Stop arguing and do as you're told As full of wind as a corn-eating horse = A braggart You can put your boots in the oven, but that doesn't make them biscuits = You can say whatever you want, but that doesn't change a thing
