<p>Growing up in a small town in northeast Nebraska, author Bob Bohlken was surrounded by country folk and their colorful language. Many of their curious expressions and down-home sayings are no longer commonplace, as they have faded with time and developing technology. Bohlken has chronicled these sayings and expressions from an almost lost early rural culture into this entertaining guide. He has shown that the power of verbal suggestion can give differing meanings to words and expressions. These sayings about events, objects, experiences, and country living are colored with allusions from the past and touched with a bit of humor. They touch on behaviors, common sense, weather, money, relationships, food, sports and more. Some sayings may appear to be crude and crass, but they are authentic. If you're ready to chew the fat and strike while the iron is hot, then this book's for you.</p>
