Southern colloquialisms

I tried Google-ing this, and it just gave me recipes for pigs in a blanket.

I'm looking for how a Texan man would say wrap yourself in it like a blanket but with a Southern spin on it.

Does that make sense?

Thanks in advance

I spent much of my childhood and adolescence in Northwest Louisiana, which shares a lot of colloquilisms and accents with Northeast Texas. 'Bout the only phrase that comes to mind is to "snug as a bug in a rug." That's basically what my grandparents would say when they'd tuck us in at night when we visited them. So someone telling someone to wrap themselves up in a blanket might sound something like this "You go on and wrap yourself up snug as a bug in a rug now." Hope that helps a little.

You could always use "blanket burrito" .
