Short as a gnat's tail

He didn't get there on a paved road.

I’m on it like cheese on grits!

I didn’t just fall off a turnip truck.

He looks like he stepped out of a bandbox.

He looks like the dog's been keepin' him under the porch.

… took a long dip in the ugly pond

When poverty comes in the front door, love goes out the back.

It's cold enough to hang meat in here.

To think hard of

He’d skin a flea for the hide and tallow.

Smart as a tree full of owls.

Colder than a well digger's ass

It come up a bad cloud.

I feel like I was et by a coyote and shit over a cliff.

They ate supper before they said grace.

It’s got tits or tires, you’re gonna have trouble with it.

Uglier than a mud fence

More than plenty

I’m fixin' to run over to the bank.

Had to tie a pork chop around his neck so the dog would play with him.
