Left the road at 90
I heard this one today. I had forgotten about it. It describes reckless driving. I used to think it had something to do with Highway 90. Then I connected Highway 98 with it since a stretch of that road is called Dead Man's Highway (or something similar). But I think the 90 refers to 90 mphs.
And speaking of speed. What's up with the AL State Troopers everywhere? Geeesh.

All I know is that when I was 20, I left the road at 48 and hit a tree, totaled my car, lost some teeth, scarre3d my face and dang near lost a radio job 'cause I couldn't talk right for a month.
That was one of them days when the Lord's repetitive stress disorder was actin' up, from keepin' me alive.
For what, I'm not yet sure.
Hey, I am fixin' to start that Rick Warren "Who am I and Why the Hell I am I Here?" book. You got any thoughts on it? (Wrong blog! Sorry!)

Here are a few more southernisms for reckless driving:
1. "Hittin' the high spots."
2.Huntin' the other end of the highway.'
3."Totin' the mail."
4."Haulin' buggy."
5."Hangin' it's toungue out."
I hope you like these...
I am going to add you to my blogroll if that's alright.
Your blog makes me happy. =)
