Local Sayings: "I'm all over it like..."
In another thread, I used a couple phrases that I've used over the years, referring to how I give attention to something, by saying:
"I'm all over it like a duck on a june bug", Or, "I'm all over it like mayonaise on a bologna sandwich.", or "I'm all over it like stink on (feces)" :eek:
Keeping this clean (please), what phrases have you used or have you heard to portray this same emphasis, starting out with "I'm all over it like..."?
I think we'll get some fun responses. Todd :)

I grew up mostly in Houston, but spent 7 years of my life in deep East Texas, going to forestry school. In ET, when people are getting ready to do something, they are "fixin to" do it. Example: "I'm fixin to go to the store, do ya'll need anything?"
I've got the greatest mother-in-law in the world, and she lives in Borger, Texas which is northeast of Amarillo, in the Texas panhandle. If you ask her what she did all day, she will say something like "I've just been ginnin' around the house, trying to get ready for company this weekend." I once asked her where the term "ginnin" came from, and she was not sure. My wife uses it all the time, and now I do too. Has anyone else heard of this before?
