If I Had My Druthers

Fun fact: this is a phrase from a Broadway musical from the 1950s that demonstrates life in the South: Li’l Abner. The musical makes the lifestyle of the people who live in the rural South fun. During these moments, “If I had my druthers… “ which means “If I had my way…” or something to that effect! An example of it would be, “If I had my druthers, this party would be over by nine, and I’d be in bed by 10.”

All Get Out

It’s a lot of fun to say this, just so you know. In describing something very extreme, “All get out” is used. This is a sentence that you can use throughout the day in various situations. Adopting the phrase might be a good idea. When you’re dying of hunger, you can simply say, “I’m hungry as all get out.” If you are happy with the concert, you can also exclaim, “That concert was as good as all get out.”
