It features sayings that are as tender and sweet as honey-dipped chicken wings for those smitten by Cupid . . . and as fiery and spicy as horseradish-laced chili peppers for those seeking revenge over a romance turned sour.

Readers will appreciate the way country folk paint their sentences about love in the most vivid and original analogies, sew simple words of emotion together into tapestries of truisms, and pepper their language with zesty wit and biting rage.

[Linda Arnoldus · Rating 2 out of 5]

Rating this just for fun. 2 stars because "it was ok" is how Goodreads defines 2 stars, but I'm glad I have it. I received this book as a gift, and it's kind of nice since I grew up in Mississippi. As a Southerner I wouldn't say that these are all necessarily accurate, but it's just a fun book to have. Might be useful to read through when I get homesick. Note that this book is not suitable for children.

I love all things Southern and Middle American. I bought this book on remainder at Barnes and Noble and it's a cute little reference book. My favorite saying: "She's looking better every beer." This book would make a great little gift for any hillbilly loving, southern leaning person who loves to laugh.
