Purtier than a peach.

Crooked as a snake's back.

Well, ain’t that just tits on a duck!

You can’t measure a snake till ti’t stretched out dead.

No, it’s liquid sunshine.

Ready with his hat and slow with his money

He acts like he is 10 feet tall and bullet proof.

Uglier than a burnt stump

Hotter than Satan’s housecat.

Her apron’s ridin’ high.

Ain’t got both oars in the water

Planted corn before the fence was built

If [such and such happens] then it’s Katie bar the door.

You’re like the dog that caught the car.

Rough as a cob

I swaney, Mama shoulda named me Grace.

He’s gone to hell in a hand basket.

Green as a gourd

Well, knock me down and call me 'Shorty'!

As tired as a whore on nickel night.

He bought a pig in a poke.
