-Good lord willing an' the creek don't rise.
If all goes well. Unless something prevents it.
("Next summer, I'm getting married -- good lord willing an' the creek don't rise.")

Now you go! Tell me what words, phrases or colloquialisms you love. Doesn't have to be Southern -- in fact, I'd love to hear phrases from other regions and countries. :D

one of the best ones i ever heard was from the summer i spent in brevard, nc (your part of the world!): "smackin' shit," as in "doing nothing."

Example:
Dean - Hey Sam, whatcha doin'? (Sam, what are you doing?)
Sam - Smackin' shit. (Nothing.)
