Texas Sayings
Please try to use at least two of these sayings during your visit
Good lord willing and the creek don’t rise
I could sit still for that.
He’s all hat and no cattle.
He can strut sitting down.
Better than an eye poke with a sharp stick.
You can hang your hat on it.
He wouldn’t bite a biscuit.
She’s all gurgle and not guts.
Brave enough to eat in a boomtown cafe.
She’s in a horn-tossing mood.
Slicker than a slop jar.
He’d shoot craps with the devil himself.
