My son put his rain boots on this morning. I said you know on the farm those are call **** kickers. Did any one else call them that?

It's too dry.
It's too wet.
We need rain.
That rain didn't do anything.

I was often told "you smell like money," in town, at the local tavern for lunch. : )
Whenever someone from my family complained about the smell of manure as a kid my grandpa would say “that’s the smell of money.”
My bad. Obviously I meant dinner. And in the evening we had supper.
The ankle length neoprene boots you put over your work boots were called rubbers (also referred to as tingleys by many)
Between that and my parents calling hard candy "sucking pieces" it's really no surprise I turned out the way I did.

6am - breakfast
9:30 - lunch
noon - dinner
3pm - lunch
6pm - supper
And lunch would often consist of half a sandwich and some baked good. I'm amazed I wasn't 800 lbs.
Lol yep. Breakfast, dinner, supper. Got some grief for that occasionally after going to college.
Breakfast
Lunch
Supper
Dinner is when family comes over.

To me, **** kickers were regular leather work boots. Or say insulated rubber boots worn in the cold and snow and when things were deep (standalone, not worn over leather boots).
I don't recall calling regular buckle-up rain boots **** kickers. They are pert near that, so I am less certain about that.
Rubbers, with the soft rubber button fastener, might have been called rubbers or rain boots or boots. By brand name they were Tingleys, which I believe we called them some, but probably not a lot. I recall that the veterinarians wore them more than we did.
Probably most people still know what "it is getting pretty deep in here" means.

Its Breakfast, Lunch and DInner. Supper is for Commies.
Yep. I could have added lunches in there, which varied somewhat, depending on the farmer.
I'm so hungry I could eat the #ss end out of a skunk
That snow is as high as a tall Indians #ss.
It is raining so hard it is like a cow pissing on a flat rock
supplies are tighter than a ticks #ss

Very perceptive on your part. One of the advantages of raising and being around many kinds of livestock is the ability to make fine distinctions, and to be precise when around different kinds of nonsense or untruths.
Such as, "Bull **** . . . . .," or "I'm not going to put up with your horse **** . . . . ."
It is more of an innate ability. I'm not going to try to explain it.
When we went to town for dinner, the money was more of the porcine kind.
"If you had to buy your own health insurance" "My income went down so should my taxes" "I didnt get a raise last year"
