Getting Blood from a Turnip, by Rene' McCracken, NTCC Agriculture Director
I think as a native Texan I have been privy to (and guilty of using) my fair share of ?old-timey sayings." In fact, my agriculture students at Northeast Texas Community College just love to ask for clarification of ones like ?86th†the noise? or†?gobbldygook? or ?hottsy tottsy?or ?flapping your gums?.
One such colloquialism that I heard quite a bit growing up was ?You just can?t get blood from a turnip!?
