cottonism

Something the character "Cotton" from "King of the Hill" might say. Or really anyone who hails from the tornado states. A bit of wisdom said with a Texan drawl, but really coming from Oklahoma.

My favorite Cottonism is as follows. Melanie: "I think I ate too much for lunch. I don't know if I should make myself throw up or have an epidural!"

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.

Cotton on

To realize or catch on to something - usually something in the past which you should have figured out at the time but didn't; Scottish slang.

She was giving all kinds of hints that she was interested in me, but I just didn't cotton on until I got home.

cotton

Latin for bacon (see Natalie Tran's YouTube channel to understand)

"Now I suggest you turn off the steam on the iron and have it on cotton setting to cook the bacon, because we all know that cotton is Latin for bacon."
