There’s More Than One Way To Skin A Cat

You might not want to use this term around your vegan friends or family members. While Southerners are not fans of animal abuse, they do love this saying. “There’s more than one way to skin a cat” is a rather dark way to suggest that there is more than one approach to any given situation. It helps to be reminded that a seemingly hopeless situation can be remedied with a bit of creativity and ingenuity.

God Don’t Like Ugly

If a person had to say that “God don’t like ugly”, they don’t mean that the Almighty isn’t a big fan of unattractive people. Rather, it means that the big man upstairs frowns upon meanness, rudeness, and bad behavior. This is a great way to stop kids from misbehaving, as the only thing scarier than your parents’ wrath is the thought of God’s punishment! While we would never imply that God wouldn’t forgive someone for stepping out of line, this is a great way to get people to behave themselves.
