cottonism

Something the character "Cotton" from "King of the Hill" might say. Or really anyone who hails from the tornado states. A bit of wisdom said with a Texan drawl, but really coming from Oklahoma.

My favorite Cottonism is as follows. Melanie: "I think I ate too much for lunch. I don't know if I should make myself throw up or have an epidural!"
