I wouldn’t piss in his ear if his brain was on fire.

Jackin yer jaw

That girl’s meaner than cuss!

Nobody will ever notice it on a galloping horse.

Well, shut my mouth.

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

Don't get your knickers in a knot.

As full of wind as a corn-eating horse

I'd rather pay his board than board him.

My hind foot!

Hornier than a two pecker'd billy goat on a hill full of ninnies.

I'll knock you into the middle of next week lookin' both ways for Sunday.

Stand pappy

Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.

As stubborn as a blue-nose mule and as busy as a cranberry merchant.

When poverty comes in the front door, love goes out the back.

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

A rooster one day, a feather duster the next.

He’s as tough as a boot.

To put the spit on the apple.

Long as a month of Sundays.
