Bowed up like a Halloween cat

The hair is in the butter.

A face like a bee keepers apprentice

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

Slow as pond water.

His mouth ain’t no prayerbook.

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

I’m goin’ to be on you quicker than a duck on a June bug.

He’s as poor as Job’s turkey.

It's so hot that it makes me want to take off my skin and sit in my bones.

Like a bump on a log

Crooked as a cork screw.

That size don't get no bigger.

He's as country as a bowl of grits.

If you lie down with dogs, you’ll get up with fleas.

I’ve been to two goat ropin’s and a county fair and I ain’t seen nothin’ like this.

Too poor to paint, too proud to whitewash.

Useless as tits on a boar hog

I didn’t just fall off a turnip truck.

Well, slap my head and call me silly.

Can you carry me up to the picture show?
