"Stump the Yankee"

[Jim Page]

Well, as my Tennessee grandma used to say: "if that don't beat all!

Bill, we need to start a discussion of oddball Southern expressions. My grandmother (Northern Florida) used to say, "I swan!" and "Gee monetti!" She had another pet saying like those that I can't remember at the moment.

He brother had a goofy one; he'd say, "By grabs!"

So, with your grandmother's saying, we have documented four of these weird expressions.
