To have treed the coon

Talk the legs off a dead mule – or – talk the hind leg off a donkey

Boy howdy!

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

I swaney, Mama shoulda named me Grace.

Like a sow needs a sidesaddle

I’m gonna tan yer hide!

Toad choker/frog strangler

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

He’d make a cat laugh.

Sittin’ on the amen corner

He thinks the sun comes up just to hear him crow.

Well, ain’t he just the tom-cat’s kitten?

As long as Pat stayed in the army

I’ll snatch you bald headed.

A face like a welder’s bench

As welcome as a skunk at a lawn party

Does a snake have hips?

Chew the bark off

Fix your plate.

The water was higher than a cat’s back.
