Bowed up like a Halloween cat

I don’t know her from Adam’s house cat.

You're a dime holdin’ up a dollar.

Busier than a one-legged man in a butt kickin' contest.

Rough as a cob

Throw the hatchet

I'm out like a fat girl stealing second.

Rain goes over her back to avoid her face.

That man ain't got the decency to die.

About as useful as buttons on a dishrag

He can get glad the same way he got mad, or else he's gon' die unhappy.

He’s like a mule halfway home after plowin’ all day.

He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

I’d rather have a broke back in hell.

When Satan goes ice skatin’ in Hell.

Cooler than a flip side of a down pillow.

Happy as a clam at high tide

I don’t pay him no nevermind.

Sleepier than a river coon

He won’t hit a lick at a snake.

Green as a gourd
