Land O Goshen is a Southern expression of amazement or frustration. The Land of Goshen is a place referred to two times in the Bible, once as a province of Egypt (in the time of Joseph) and another time as a Canaanite land renamed Goshen in the book of Joshua. After Moses led the Jews out of Egypt (Goshen) and Joshua finally led them into Canann, they named a portion of the Promised Land, Goshen. This may be why the phrase is used as an exclamation of amazement and frustration, as the Land of Goshen was the place of the Israelites bondage, and later a place in the Promised Land.
1. Land O Goshen, I just saw a shooting star!
2. Land O Goshen, if I have to tell you to close that front door again I'm gonna tan your hide, boy!
3. Land O Goshen, that apple pie is the tastiest I ever et, Ma!
Goodness gracious is an exclamation of excitement, surprise or frustration. It is a Southern term used primarily as a substitute for cursing, and as such it is a
minced oath. Sweet little old ladies use this term a lot.
1. Goodness gracious, Tommy, clean up that room!
2. Goodness gracious, if you don't just look beautiful today, honey!
3. Goodness gracious, I have gas today something fierce.

A Bunny Boiler refers to the movie Fatal Attraction where Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) boils the family pet, a bunny, of Dan Gallagher's (Michael Douglas) family in retaliation for him rejecting her.
A Bunny Boiler is always a woman. Men are referred by other terms, but the term Bunny Boiler is used only for women.
Guy A: Dude, there is a broad staring at you like she wants to cut your head off.
Guy B: Oh man, that chick is a trip. I tapped that once and now she thinks we're married or something.
Guy A: How bad is it? Is she a Bunny Boiler?
Guy B: Yeah, she may be. This one is a psycho hose beast. I don't have any pets, but if I did I'm sure they'd be part of a stew right now.
Guy A: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

On the farm, sometimes, weeds will sprout out of cow patties. They are called "shitweeds". The term is also used for a person who is miserably disagreeable, an
asshole or a
jerk, but has a greater depth of meaning. It represents someone who is bad and worthless (like a weed) who was spawned by something equally worthless (like shit). A person who is a "shitweed" is similar to
white trash, a low and base person raised by low and base people.
Man #1: "Did you meet Joan's new boyfriend?"
Man #2: "Yeah, he's a piece of work, isn't he?"
Man #1: "I know him and his family, they are all garbage. The guy is a real shitweed!"
When someone gets their "nose out of joint" or their "nose is all out of joint" it means they are upset, pissed off or holding a grudge. It means the same as being "besides oneself".
1. When Jim told that sexist joke, Annie got her nose out of joint.
2. Jim told his mom to kiss his butt and now her nose is out of joint.
3. Tony got his nose all out of joint after someone said he smelled like B.O.
