Didn't see that on the list, but it should be. Some of them are mostly used in the south, while others are just expressions heard in American speech or rural America.

Another one heard here...Finer than frog hair (split 4 ways)

And up north we say "I'll give you a shout" but down south we say "I'll holler at you"

Bless your heart, for sharing this! Thats another common one, although I hear it a lot less than I used to.
