I always assumed that Cootie Brown was a woman, until now. I visioned her as an “Aunt Jemima” looking lady, with a ton of kids; hence, the high grocery bill. Learn something new everyday.

I’m from Kentucky, and have heard the phrase, “Higher than Cootie Brown’s groceries,” many times.

I grew up in the Carolinas and have heard the name Cootie Brown all my life. Apparently He lived around here in the mountains cause everyone in the mountains of NC knows good ole Cootie. some probably have imitated cootie while in college.

Tish, I have never heard o’ Cootie Brown before. Sorry. As you pointed out, it’s pretty much a Southern thing I take it. Heck, the only Cooties I know of (besides the ones all the girls in elementary school had) is the game where you roll a die and put together your own little cooties figure.

Ok, how did I grow up in the South and spend my first 33 years there and never hear of “Cootie Brown?” This is a new one for me. Never heard of it before.

Graham – Apparently Thursdays are the only days I do any real thinking! Glad you liked the post! And please be sure to share your Cootie Brown findings with me.

Mush – If you believe the Farmer’s Almanac, he did.

Wow, you had two thoughts on Thursday? That would go down as overtime in my world… LOL! A great post, and I hope you realise that I too am going to have to reasearch Cootie Brown now The curiosity has got the better of me.
