cotton to

southern/redneck slang : take kindly to, appreciate; usually used in the negative form, however

Redneck 1 : I didn't cotton to the way you looked at my daughter.

Redneck 2 : I don't rightly care, I love her whether she's my mom or not.

the like

A cannibalization of the phrase the lick. Both mean something that is really great, or the pinnacle of something.

Poser 1 : Dood, that guy is ridin' spinners!
Poser 2 : Yeah, those are the like!
Poser 1 : What did you say? You mean the lick?
Poser 2 : Same thing, moron. Let's go get a taco.
