Till The Cows Come Home
This another commonly used phrase in the English language that also has a Southern origin. Impatience is a universal feeling, but how many people could appropriately liken it to the lengthy period that it takes for cows without a herder to return to the fold? Certainly, cows will roam aimlessly for an indefinite period of time if left to their own devices, and many people will take a long time to complete a task, which will be finished “when the cows come home”.
