That's like putting a side saddle on a boar hog!

Sure as the vine twines 'round the stump, you are my darlin' sugar lump.

Faster than a knife fight in a phone booth.

A hangdog look

Pot licker

Every old crow thinks hers are the blackest.

It’s like swimming through peanut butter.

He acts like he’s ten feet tall and bullet-proof.

Slower than molasses in January

Stiff in the heels

If enough people tell you you’re dead, you ought to lay down.

If brains was grease, he couldn’t slick the head of a pin.

Drier than lizard spit on a hot rock

Fall in for vittles.

His brain rolls around in his head like a mustard seed in a five gallon bucket.

He wouldn’t holler sooey if the hogs was eatin’ em.

He looks like he stepped out of a bandbox.

Mean enough to charge hell with a quart of ice water.

Held his hind leg.

If promises were persimmons, possums could eat good at her place.

Sure as a cat's got climbing gear.
