Quick Posting; American English Idioms/Slang/Jargon/Phrase/Colloquial_Expressions

I just cannot work on a polished product for some time. Just very busy, and too many doctor visits.

NOTE: This list was generated with, whatever phrase/idiom/slang I heard, or read. I would write them on a small note pad. After I collected many I would then add too my list. "Throw In My 2-Cents Worth", was the first. "No Sweat" was the second... on and on....

NOTE: This is just a small portion of what I have collected.

NOTE: I am exposed to living in a somewhat Southern culture, and pretty much "blue collar" city.

To show what I have, I added a "tad-bit" more to the list. I have read everyones ideas, and will attempt a more "polished product" later.
