Flat as a fritter.

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

He don’t know daylight from dark.

I love you a bushel and a peck.

It’s raining like pouring piss out of a boot.

He’s just loudin’ off.

The ox is in the ditch.

… like a turd in the punchbowl

Like a spring lizard in a henhouse

If the Lord’s willing and the creeks don’t rise.

Well, butter my biscuit.

It's cold enough to hang meat in here.

Going ninety to nothin'

I love you like a fat kid loves cake.

They ate supper before they said grace.

Like a martin to his gourd

Just because a chicken has wings doesn't mean it can fly.

Lower than the belly of a snake in a wagon track

Took off like Moody's goose

He traveled a minute in thirty seconds.

That land is so poor two red-headed women couldn’t raise a fuss on it.
