He’s so mean a rattlesnake bit him five times and died.

I’m so confused I don’t know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt.

Watermelon talk

Don't sell your mule to buy a plow.

Ain’t got both oars in the water

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

Them that don’t work, don’t eat.

He looks like the dog's been keepin' him under the porch.

You don't have the sense God gave a chigger.

You’re trying to push a rope.

She can’t help that she’s ugly, but she could’ve stayed home!

Poor as gully dirt

That brush was so thick a dog couldn't bark in it.

Turn of the sun

Like a buzzard in a tree waiting for a mule to die

Don’t let yer eyes overload yer belly.

He is ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.

He looks like something the cat drug in and the dog wouldn't eat.

That’s how the cow ate the cabbage.

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

… more than Carter’s got pills.
