Cuttin’ A Rug
No, this isn’t a saying used by carpet sellers that pawn off chopped-up carpets. “Cuttin’ a rug” has a farm more festive meaning that refers to partying and music. Can you guess what it refers to? If you guessed that it has something to do with dancing then give yourself a pat on the back. Indeed, Southerners love to dance and have a good time, and if someone is cuttin’ a rug then they are dancing up a storm!

Whatever Floats Your Boat
Most English speakers will have used this term at some point in their lives, even if Southerners seem to be particularly fond of it. Maybe it’s because they love to go fishing so much? “Whatever floats your boat” means “whatever makes you happy”. People might not always like the same things, and just because you don’t like going for hikes, doesn’t mean that you should put them down for it! Let’s all be good to one another.
