Cute as a sack full of puppies.

Like a spring lizard in a henhouse

He wants the earth and the moon with two strands of bob wire around it – and it white washed.

It's like trying to nail Jell-O® to a wall.

He’d skin a flea for the hide and tallow.

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

Like a bump on a log

I’m gonna tan your hide.

Once bread is toast, it can't be bread again.

Sharp as a ball peen hammer.

Like a two-forty trot

To get clear water, go to the head of the branch.

It’s so good, it makes you want to slap your momma!

She’s so ugly she has to sneak up on a glass of water to get a drink.

He’s so dumb, he could throw himself on the ground and miss.

A face like a welder’s bench

Ready with his hat and slow with his money

Ain't that the berries!

Like a polecat at a camp meeting

I do all I can… and the easy ones twice.

You are about as grateful as a toothache.
