A country mile is an informal term used to mean a great distance, significantly longer than a real mile. The term has a number of possible derivations:* People living in rural areas may considerably underestimate a distance ("Go that way for about a mile, then turn left...")* Country roads often meander, increasing the distance that must be travelled between two locations, compared to the distance measured in a straight line. ...

It's like you're walking down a road and it's hot and there's no wind and you have on your thick socks and the shirt with the tight neck that you keep trying to stretch b/c it's choking you to death and you look back while you wipe the sweat off your forehead for the 100th time ,and realize that you've only gone about 300 feet and that THIS is the LONGEST country mile you will EVER walk.

A country mile, is give or take a mile or two. Getting from here to there in a country mile, is a very pleasent journey weather you walk or drive.

It's just the same as a regular mile, but in the country.

I don't know that there is a formal definition, but basically it means a "slow" mile -- everything is longer and slower in the country.... if we were to walk a city mile, it'd be brisk and quick, but a country mile is slow, while taking it's time enjoying the scenery....

A country mile is a mile travelled off-road.

Well, in my opinion, a city mile is hectic, frustrating, people busy trying to get where they need to go.. so a country mile is the opposite.. peaceful, friendly, longer because you are not rushed.

Ever noticed how the rural roads are big, square blocks, each block is a mile.
