Held his hind leg

Cathead biscuit

A shallow brook is noisiest.

Smart as a tree full of owls.

Longer than a visit from my mother in law.

A face like a robber’s dog!

What a bunch of potlickers

About as useful as buttons on a dishrag

I would like to buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth.

His front porch light is burnt out.

She’d make a freight train take a dirt road.

I spoke to her and she didn't say pea turkey squat.

You need to count your fingers after shaking hands with him.

I’m as anxious as a one-eyed cat watching two rat holes.

Crazy as a sack of bees.
