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

He’s livin' in high cotton.

Living high on the hog

He's as mad as a wet hen.

He’s as tough as a boot.

I feel like a lost ball in a high weed.

He ain't sawing logs, he's clearing brush.

We don’t air our dirty laundry out in public.

Give me some sugar.

They from off.

Well look what the cat dragged in.

The water was higher than a cat’s back.

Planted corn before the fence was built

He’s gettin’ above his raisin.'

Chester drawers

He couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

Slicker than a greased eel.

Sweating like a whore in church.

Turn of the sun

Lost as a goose in a snowstorm

To put the spit on the apple.
