One of my professors is from New England and once in a while he'll use a saying that it's obvious he heard while growing up. Being in Texas, the ones I heard growing up are different. When I think about it, I write his down to look them up later. For example, the other day he said, "from soup to nuts" and "just feeding the trout". Well, "from soup to nuts" means from beginning to end, like a full course meal. But "just feeding the trout" didn't turn up anything (on the first page) in google. So, I'm curious if anyone knows what that means and whether or not you have any favorites from where you grew up. Texas has a lot of them. I grew up hearing "he's got more money than Carter's got oats" and "I cooked enough for Cox's army," etc.
So, what's your fave?

The Carter's has oats is a new one to me . I always heard " Carter has pills" meaning a lot of something. I would like to know if anyone has ever heard the saying "get on the stick"? My Mom always says it when she wants you to hurry up. Why would that be?
