That kid could break an anvil.

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

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

Well look what the cat dragged in.

It's raining harder than a cow pissing on a flat rock.

As welcome as a skunk at a lawn party

I'll snatch you baldheaded.

He’s got a tough row to hoe

In high cotton

Fall in for vittles.

Sharp as a ball peen hammer.

Go off half-cocked

Slicker than a greased eel.

I’ll knock you in the head and tell God you died.

She’s got tongue enough for 10 rows of teeth.

You might as well play Hob with the hoe-handle!

Girl, you look so good I could take you home and sop you up with a biscuit.

As long as Pat stayed in the army

Sittin’ in the catbird seat

He lost his hat, ass, and spats!

She’s so ugly her feet wouldn’t go to bed with her!
