Two shakes of a lamb's tail

Happier than a two peckerd billy goat.

He’s too stingy to give you the time of day.

I’m gonna tan your hide.

Farmin’ in the woods

He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

Tight as Dick’s hatband

Boy howdy!

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

She came down the road like a Tennessee Walker.

He's tougher than a two dollar steak.

Will ya take on wood?

Barefooted as a yard dog.

His front porch light is burnt out.

Like a goose a-goin’ barefooted

She’s cuter than a bug’s ear.

Meaner than a sack full of rattlesnakes.

Doesn’t have a pot to piss in

Fix your plate.

Happy as a clam at high tide

She’s about a half a bubble off plumb.
