 A new southernism, at least to me. If you don't know this euphemism, see if you can figure it out.

"I gotta pay the water bill."

Latest local idiom

I looked like who did it and what for. Said of wearing fishing clothes on a Sunday.

get your kicks
used to mean getting high
doing anything it takes
to get off
now it means
don't forget your shoes
or, "Cool shoes, bro."

"On like a neckbone" means "All set to go" as locals use it. But even they can't explain why.

Examples: "Mower's fixed. On like a neckbone." "These chitlins' done been cleaned. They're on like a neckbone." "Jeep's on like a neckbone. I'm fixin' to head on out." "This President is happy as a dead pig in the sunshine." {Pretty sure that's how you use that one.)
