If his brains were dynamite, he couldn’t blow his nose.

Pot licker

The ox is in the ditch.

Like trying to sneak daylight past a rooster

You’re about as grateful as a toothache.

She’s got more than one mule in her stable.

Watch him; he'll slip a baby copperhead in your pocket, then ask you for a light.

Strong as a new well rope

He ain't got no home trainin.

As scarce as hens teeth.

He gets Tuesday’s paper on Friday.

Looks like he’s been chewin’ tobacco and spittin’ in the wind.

Bring the door

I’m going to paint your back porch red if you keep talkin like that!

It’s raining so hard the animals are starting to pair up.

I've had an apple out of that bag.

Rough as a cob

Now that’ll throw yer hat in the creek.

If you can't hang with the big dawgs, get off the porch!

He fell ass over teakettle.

It’s raining cats and dogs.
