"That dog won't hunt!" I think that means an idea or action won't work...if I'm wrong, enlighten me.
"Happy as a dead pig in a cornfield or happy as a dead pig in the sunshine." My mother-in-law had a bunch of them. This one made NO sense to me.
"Over yonder"...can mean any distance, usually farther away than you want to go.
"I (he, she, it) peed like a Russian race horse." Someone explain that one!

Pocket, once I thought about the pig thing, it must mean he died happy. Either eating corn or lying in the sunshine. That dog won't hunt means "that idea won't fly". As for "over yonder", it's used on a daily basis around here. Not by me of course. There has been another change in my that I have noticed since moving back to the country. My broadcasting voice is going out the window. I am beginning to talk like these people. Cry

Oh, and peed like a Russian race horse? I would imagine that was pretty fast. Wink
