Here in Texas, everything IS bigger and better! We even have own own vocabulary called: Texas Talkin'

Here's what the heck we mean in the Lone Star State...

• 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
