Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
The Southern expression “cat on a hot tin roof” was popularized by the movie of the same name directed by Richard Brooks in 1958. The film was based on a Tennessee Williams story about a secretly gay man whose wife begins to grow suspicious of his strange behavior. You might then be able to guess what this saying means, which refers to a person that is behaving weirdly or anxiously. We feel sorry for the cat!

Stompin’ Ground
You might think that a “stompin’ ground” refers to a battlefield or a boot camp, or maybe a sports field? Well, all of these places would work for the saying’s context, if they happened to be your favorite spots in the world. You see, a stompin’ ground is simply a place where you love to be, particularly in the whole world. Think of it like “home is where the heart is”. This is where you feel the most comfortable, relaxed, and happy.
