The White House did not just get a new team, but a whole new language. George W. Bush brought with him the language of the country and its colorful characters. For anyone not born in Rural America or spent any time there, the accents and the cowboy vocabulary may seem a bit strange but no matter who you are they will always bring a smile and usually they are universally understood. If not here is a guide….to some you may hear.
1. The engine’s runnin’ but ain’t nobody driving (Not overly intelligent).
2. As welcome as a skunk at a lawn party (self-explanatory).
3. Tighter than bark on a tree (Not very generous).
4. Big hat, no cattle (All talk and no action).
5. We’ve howdied but we ain’t shook yet (We’ve made a brief acquaintance, but not been formally introduced).
6. He thinks the sun come up just to hear him crow (He has a pretty high opinion of himself).
7. She’s got tongue enough for ten rows of teeth (That woman can talk).
8. It’s so dry the trees are bribin’ the dogs (We really could use a little rain around here).
9. Just because a chicken has wings doesn’t mean it can fly (Appearances can be deceptive.)
10. This ain’t my first rodeo (I’ve been around awhile).
11. He looks like the dog’s been keepin’ him under the porch (Not the most handsome of men).
12. They ate supper before they said grace
(Living in sin).
13. Time to paint your butt white and run with the antelope (Stop arguing and do as you’re told).
14. As full of wind as a corn-eating horse (prone to boasting).
15. You can put your boots in the oven, but that doesn’t make them biscuits. (You can say whatever you want about something, but that doesn’t change what it is).

A Vandals fan wearin’ one of their T-shirts walks into a electronic store in Missoula. He wants to buy a brand new TV and walks over to the clerk and asks him,” I’d like to buy that TV over there.” The clerk says,” I don’t sell to Vandals fans.” So the fan leaves and comes back the next day with a Wazzoo T on. He says to the clerk,” I would like to by that TV over there.” The clerk says,” I don’t sell to any Washington State fans.” Frustrated the fan comes back the next day wearin’ a Bengals sweatshirt. “I would like to buy that TV over there,” the fan said. The clerk said again,” I don’t sell to Idaho State fans.” So the fan asks,” You won’t let me buy it as a Idaho State fan or a U of I or even Washington fan. So why won’t you?” The clerk waits a few seconds then replies,” Because that’s a microwave.”
