Here is one that will be new to you…
“..wouldn’t know you from who shot John”…
Now what on earth is this in reference to? Well, I went and looked it up – I had to – it’s something MY father and mother used to say and guess what? It is VERY southern expression and according to the wikitonary – and shockingly – even attributed to a very specific town of Texarkana(close to where I grew up): http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Talk:who_shot_John
“Bread and Butter” when on a walk and having to split up (release hands to go around an object) during a walk… This was used to ward off bad luck.

Funny world out there, isn’t it?
