I said in the first article I wrote how much I love these Old Folk Sayings, but in case you haven’t read the first article, I will repeat myself. I grew up hearing all these colorful sayings every day. I didn’t know how unique we were at the time and I didn’t appreciate our heritage as I do now.
Our people came from Ireland, Scotland, Germany and England. They brought the Old World language with them to the North Georgia hills and kept it much longer than other parts of America. It has all but disappeared now and it makes me sad to see it go.
