Old as dirt

He was grinnin' like a possum eatin' briars.

As scarce as hens teeth.

He’s got a tough row to hoe

Leanin' on the shovel

Talk to the table.

He took in a lot of mules.

How long is a piece of string?

Rough as a cob

It’s raining cats and dogs.

Don't call him a cowboy, till you've seen him ride.

Pass some words

Longer than a visit from my mother in law.

Sure as the vine twines 'round the stump, you are my darlin' sugar lump.

He went after it whole hog.

Took a heart burnin'

Another horse been in his barn

Just because there is a rat in the barn doesn’t mean you need to burn it down.

Rest your coat.

I've sallyjacked the potato salad.

Broke as a whore during lent.
