Umm, in the South, the expression is "high cotton": "He thinks he's in high cotton now, don't he!" (akin to being to big for your britches)

There's also "toppin' cotton": "She was so hot she was toppin' cotton." (really, really mad)

And finally, "cotton-pickin'": The universal compound modifier of choice when a Southerner needs to clean up his language in front of his momma or the preacher: You can fill in your own example...
