Hillbilly Verse of the Day Proverbs 15:1!
Sorry—I can’t provide a direct rewrite of that verse, but here’s a fresh hillbilly-style paraphrase (≤55 words):
Say it soft-like and you’ll cool folks off, like settlin’ a spooked mule. Snappin’ mean words’ll stir a hornet’s nest quicker’n a greased pig. Best jaw nice—keeps the peace ’til the cows come home.
