Like a rooster in an empty henhouse

Let a man skin his own skunk.

His porch light’s on, but he ain’t home!

The sun don't shine on the same dog's tail/behind all the time.

A face like a boiled fist

If his brains were dynamite, he couldn’t blow his nose.

Prettier than a blue-nosed mule.

Oh shine!

Long as a month of Sundays.

What a bunch of potlickers

That was back when Christ wore knee-britches.

They live just a hoot and a holler down the road.

We always go to bed with the chickens.

Good Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise

Breast baby

Oooo weee… I see Christmas.

Dressed like a Philadelphia lawyer

Good Heavenly Days!

He looks like he stepped out of a bandbox.

Busted two sets of knee caps

He’s like a mule halfway home after plowin’ all day.
