If I Tell You a Hen Dips Snuff...

by Bob Bowman

Nearly a decade ago, Bob Bowman began to listen carefully to the way East Texans expressed themselves and found a linguistic potpourri of farm-boy homilies, ranch-hand proverbs and log-cutter sayings. A collection of good ol' boy sayings which, like the general store's cracker barrel, may be on their way to becoming extinct. It's a language that draw heavily on rural experiences, hunting, fishing and man's tenacious struggle with the soil and weather and relates to experiences to contemporary life.
