Georgia peaches
Dixie's fuzzy crop
Georgia peaches are peaches grown in the U.S. state of Georgia, which has branded itself "the Peach State" despite not leading in peach production.
The phrase suggests superior quality through regional association: Nothing beats Georgia peaches in summer.
Informally, Georgia peaches can refer to attractive women from Georgia, playing on peach as slang for an appealing person.
