That reminds me of:
"Sweating like a sinner in church". usually means that you are wrung out with sweat, either from temperature or being worried about getting in trouble.

Also, most southerners know the difference between "Naked" and "Nekkid". Naked means you don't have clothes on. Nekkid means no clothes and you were up to something! ;;D

Wasn't it Lewis Grizzard who came up with the "naked"/"nekkid" thing? I think that's who I first heard reference it years ago.

Opposite ends of the spectrum...

"Hotter than fish grease", used to describe someone of way above average attractiveness.
"Uglier than homemade soap", used to describe someone who is rather unfortunate looking.

My brother always said, "fugly, because ugly somehow just wasn't descriptive enough"

When roads are particularly icy, some folks say "slicker than mole snot"

The phrase "Drunker than Cooter Brown" is used to describe someone who has consumed entirely too much Sparkle Donkey

I use "drunker than Cooter Brown" all the time. Usually to describe myself. And I wanna know who the heck Cooter Brown is anyway!

The river that runs through town is the Cache la Poudre. It has a history, and you'd like to think that it would be called something like "Caush lah Pohd-ray." Nope. It's "Cash luh Pooder." Or really, "Pooder."

"You bet" replaces "you're welcome."

Soft drinks are "soda pop."

Directions on the Front Range are given not in left-right but east-west. "Go north on College Avenue to Horsetooth and turn west." That's because the mountains are looming to the west, and we always know where the west is.

Fourteeners are mountains in Colorado that rise over 14,000 feet, and we have more of those than any other state.

The Mousetrap is the interchange of I-25 and I-70 in Denver.

NoCo is Northern Colorado, and it covers Denver up the I-25 corridor to Wyoming and nudges east to Greeley. FoCo is Fort Collins, which is the lovely jewel of a small city that I live in. We are the Napa Valley of craft breweries. It's also called "Collins" and "the Fort," although there are other "Fort" places in Colorado: Fort Morgan, Fort Lupton, and those aren't even Army post "Forts."

The Front Range is the collection of communities that stretch along the base of the mountains of the north/south I-25 corridor, pretty much from Pueblo south up to Fort Collins north. More generally, it's the downslope east from the Continental Divide.

The West Slope is the portion of Colorado that's downslope west from the Continental Divide.

There really is a South Park in Colorado from which the crude animation show is based. It's not just a town but an area. It is distinguished from Middle Park and North Park.

If you say the "People's Republic," you're talking about Boulder.

Aurora, a southwest Denver suburb that sprawls out to the arid plains, is "Saudi Aurora."

If someone from the Central Time Zone on east refers to the "mountains" in their area, smirk happens.

I freakin' love this state.

I really like Fort Collins too! Have been there three times and enjoyed myself shamelessly everytime. There is a Starbucks in Colorado that i like that served my my first cup of coffee i liked (a big Caramel Frappuchino). In the soutwest corner of colorado lies another spot i love, Mesa Verde, frigging beautiful!! and of course the mountains, i could gaze at them for hours.

One I like from up your way is "you'uns" which of course is the incorrect way to say "y'all".

Not to be confused with the universally used (at least in the southern hemisphere) "young'uns".

"The mountain is out"
It means it's a clear enough day to see Mount Rainier.
