Are you familiar with the phrase ‘hit a lick of the snake’?

Usually meaning not working, having to work or applying effort.
Ex: It was so hot today we didn’t hit a lick of the snake.

Could be. Here it is pronounced ‘hit eh lick uh duh snake’, roughly.
I have never seen it in print.

Means you're too lazy to fend off a snake. Congratulations on being fat.

“Hit a lick” means get some money, quickly.

It is "hit a lick at a snake".
It is not stupid or yankee.
The lick being the "lick" inflicted by a stick or a hoe or shovel on a snake.
There was a day not too long ago that no snake was spared and the sight of one sent most people looking for a weapon to kill the snake. You were particularly lazy if you let a snake pass.

I've heard "hit a lick", but never heard the snake part.

Hadn’t heard it in a long time. Used to hear it all the time in the 70’s oilfield.
