Lol I have definitely known a couple of people that used that regularly in reply to "how are ya?"
In my attempt to be a smart ass and find some really old slang that no one has ever heard of, I have run across some that must be brought back to life by OOTB. Here are just a few:
Damfino- damned if I know
Got the morbs- temporary melancholy
Half-rats- Partially intoxicated
Jammiest bits of jam- Absolutely perfect young females
Sauce-box- The mouth

As in like... slang for black culture? Or as in like "getting things to jive" ?
Same guy that used fair to middlin' liked to say on a rainy day:
Nice weather today ... (just the right pause while you give him a funny look) ... for a duck.

It's mostly people my age though, right? As in, I'm fixin' to tell the Rams Club to get the hell out of dodge!
I say it. But I don't know if I'm a good gauge for what young people do or not. Lol.It's mostly people my age though, right? As in, I'm fixin' to tell the Rams Club to get the hell out of dodge!
You're not really a good gauge for what anyone does.
Speaking of old sayings...
If someone asks if you'll be here tomorrow and you say "God willing and the creek don't rise," do you mean yes, unless there is a lot of rain and the creek rises and drowns everyone? Or do you mean yes, unless the Creek Nation rises and goes on a rampage and kills everyone?

One in every crowd...
But a lot of them in OOTB... I should have expected this.
To tie-in with my CSB and my cousin. She was where I first heard "Gag a maggot" when referring to having to eat her mashed potatoes when she was a kid.
Weird. I know folks from Cairo and Thomasville who refer to SW Ga as "SoWeGa" (pronounced "so-WE-ja"). Did y'all refer to it as SoEega? Lol.
Never heard either that I recall. Never heard SoGa until I was grown and gone. Heard a lot of "dumbass" and "idjit", however.
Beaver and Cooter creep me the hell out. Those two words are not appealing at all.
Dollars to doughnuts. Never heard anyone under 60 say that.
Also I heard some old dude refer to a vagina as a “snatch”

That's honestly more used down here than beaver or cooter.
A lot of folks will also use "trim." Why are all the slang words for it so damn weird and unappealing lol.
