Whatcha ssay when somebudy aske ya "Hidy, hi, you"
"If things was any better, I'd think they was lyin' to me"
"Fine as frog's hair"
"Cookin' on the front burner."
"Fat and sassy"
"Tol'able"
"Fair to middlin'"
"I'd have to get better to die."
Of course you can say an of 'em depindin on how ya feeling.
I would add that I have heard most of these with small variations. I've heard these:
"Fine as frogs' hair split both ways"
"Cookin' with gas"
