If The Creek Don’t Rise
It is not easy to maintain a good social life when you have a lot on your plate. Sometimes, you might have to turn down invitations because of prior commitments. There is a good southern phrase that you can start using in these situations. The picture shows a bunch of older gentlemen. Let us say that they meet on Tuesdays at the same time. However, one of them wants to do something else next Thursday. He might have cooked up plans with his nephew, but it has yet to be verified. He might say something like, Well, Jim, if the creek don’t rise, I’ll be there.” That means that he will see but no promises!

You are probably not from the south if someone refers to you by this term. This has nothing to do with baseball in case you were confused. In the south, this is simply a word used to describe someone who is from the north. If not that, it might be someone who acts like it. This term spread in the south back in the Civil War. In those days, it was a word used to describe a Union soldier.
