The full phrase is “Lord willing and the Creek don’t rise “. Creek is not a reference to a stream. It refers to the Creek Indians and comes from the time when Indians would occasionally rise up. Also known as going on the warpath. Now you know.

Ok, here’s the real deal Lucile. Southerners have been here a long damn time. Call it 300 years. So, we have long since developed a love for our food, music, history, way of life, humor and LANGUAGE. We LOVE our sayings and the list is infinite. 😊👍

Those aren’t completely southern expressions. I’m 69 and lived in Ohio most of my life and my mom and dad said a lot of those

that dog won't hunt refers to anything that rings untrue, ie, you tell a story that's a lie, that dog won't hunt, you give advice that's wrong, that dog won't hunt, you try to do something in a weird way that doesn't work, that dog won't hunt
