A most unusual "Southern Saying" is "Big ears in the cornfield"
I have to admit , I had never heard this saying until after our children were born. On one of our visits to my wife's family in Arkansas, we were talking about some issue (cannot remember that issue now) and Cindy's mom (Winnie Baggett) would remind us to be quiet because there were "big ears in the cornfield".
Meaning that our kids were around and be careful what you say (and what they hear)! I have used this expression over and over since then.
