Hound DogContext: Rural farm country. Room full of farmers, truckers, welders, mechanics, etc, at lunch hour at the local restaurant.
My father said to the waitress: "You're a good looking heifer."
Surprisingly, (

sig239dlehr"He's dumber than owl shit!"
I don't know how regional it is, but it was one of my dad's favorite sayings and whenever he used it about someone, it was a very apt description! I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky but now live elsewhere in the Bluegrass State. I've not heard it around here.
