Livin’ high on the hawg.

So tight you can hear him squeak when he walks

The hair is in the butter.

Faster than a knife fight in a phone booth.

Lower than the belly of a snake in a wagon track

Who died and left the gate open?

It would be better to dress him than to feed him.

Pissin’ in the wind

She has a butt like a forty-dollar mule.

You had better go lick that calf over.

Were you raised in a barn?

Dumb as a sack of doorknobs

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

Well, shut my mouth.

You could throw her in a river and skim ugly for two days.

He’s shorter than a mouse hole.

We in the short rows.

Don’t insult the alligator till you’ve crossed the stream.

Looks like he’s been chewin’ tobacco and spittin’ in the wind.

He lives in your neck of the woods.

That gal is gonna drop him like a hot rock.
