Who knows what a “bresh broom” is? We had bresh brooms that were home made to sweep the front yards with!
If you were caught cussin’ you might get a whooping with a bresh broom!

My Daddy used to tell me and my sisters he had better not ever hear we “wattin’ wearing’ enough clothes to pad a crutch” or he would come home and make us go cut our own peach-tree hickories he would whoop us with!”
Enough said. We never did!
Did anyone ever get a whoopin’ with a peach tree hickory stick you was made to cut, your own self?

We always said “Hang in there like a rusty fish hook” to our friends who may be about to have final exams in school. Instead of quitting or giving up, you “hang in there like a rusty fish hook”.

Granddaddy used to say, “ let’s all go to town and get a sodie-water” that meant we would ride with him to the old RX Drug Store, where they served cokes from a sodie fountain.
