Full As A Tick
When was the last time after a meal that you felt way too full? When we visit our folks for the weekend, this often happens to us. You may even have to pull your pants’ zipper down to accommodate it! You can say, when you are in the south, “I’m full as a tick.” After drinking a fair amount of blood, ticks become bloated like a balloon! It’s not an attractive picture, but the shoe fits.

Hold Your Horses
Not everyone owns a horse, but you do not need one to have the phrase! It’s just a common phrase that people throw around in the South all the time. They just want you to slow down a little if someone ever tells you this. We all know that staying patient at all times requires a lot of self-control. However, simmering down and taking it easy now and then can’t hurt!
