She posted that she also loves to use “fixin’ to,” “over yonder,” “druthers,” “if the creek don’t rise,” “hold your horses,” “gumption” and her favorite, “full as a tick.” I’ve heard people say they’re full as a tick after a big meal, but they do realize ticks aren’t full of mashed potatoes and fried chicken, right?
