Cuttin’ A Rug
If you think that Southerners enjoy chopping up their carpets on weekends, you might need a bit of clarification on what “cuttin’ a rug” means. Southerners love to dance, and greatly appreciate it when someone can move gracefully or skillfully. Someone that has “moves like Mick Jagger” might also be described as cuttin’ a rug. This refers to the dazzling footwork that a person would perform on, potentially, a rug. Perhaps if someone had to wear a particularly sharp pair of heels when dancing they could actually cut a rug.
