Pretty As A Peach
While most people might not think of fruit as a suitable object to compare a pretty person to, the term “pretty as a peach” is one of the most popularly used to highlight a woman or girl’s attractive presentation. This might have something to do with the thick rouge that females were so fond of in this part of the world at one stage. Although makeup trends have changed, this saying has stayed popular with Southerners.

Hissy Fit
A “hissy fit” is a common encounter for most people, where someone will lose their temper completely and throw an explosive tantrum. The term is mostly associated with women or little girls’ outbursts, rather than men, which isn’t very fair now. You might then associate the phrase with the hissing of a cat, but that would be surprisingly incorrect. Rather, “hissy” is a colloquial shortening of the term “hysterics”, which is when a person is upset to the point that they exhibit wild behavior.
