Held his hind leg.

I’ll tie a knot in yer tail

About as useful as gooseshit on a pumphandle

He’s steal a chaw of tobacco out of your mouth if you yawned.

Warmin’ over old soup

As stubborn as a blue-nose mule and as busy as a cranberry merchant.

Y’all have chairs.

Pass some words

He/She’s got teeth like a rake.

Do you want your dinner now or when you get it.

Like a two-forty trot

She's so mad she's gonna raise sand.

Green as a gourd

She is pretty as a pumpkin and about half as smart.

Treated him like a red-headed stepchild.

Spread the table.

He’s three sheets in the wind.

He could sell ice to an Eskimo.

You ain’t worth a plug nickel.

So ugly he could snag lightning

It would be better to dress him than to feed him.
