“THIS DOG’LL HUNT: An Entertaining Texas Dictionary” by Wallace O. Chariton (1989, Wordware Publishing, Inc., 1506 Capital Ave., Plano, TX 75074) is a collection of “Texasisms” -- metaphors, similes, and figures of speech that come from the mouths of citizens of our state. Most of these originated from people who didn’t even know what a “simile” was.
