Put it on the front door.

I’m gonna tan your hide.

Tougher than a one-eared alley cat.

Don’t care if I do.

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

Once bread is toast, it can't be bread again.

I'm fixin' to go down the road a piece.

No fly ever lit on her.

Happy as a hog in slop.

Sunday face

I'm gonna put knots on yor head faster than you can rub them.

If that boy was any smarter we’d have to water him every week.

Like a polecat at a camp meeting

Who's pluckin' this chicken, me or you?

As full of wind as a corn-eating horse

Forty eleven

Just because there is a rat in the barn doesn’t mean you need to burn it down.

Braggin’ dog

Useful as a broken leg.
