That brush was so thick a dog couldn't bark in it.

Couldn't hit a barn if you were on the inside.

I feel fatter than a possum stuck in a fence hole.

I'm out like a fat girl stealing second.

If he had a brain and was a bird, he’d fly backwards.

Slow as an iron toad

Poor as gully dirt

You kin put your boots in the oven – but that don’t make ‘em biscuits.

He’s got molasses in his britches.

Don’t let yer eyes overload yer belly.

Watermelon talk

He was as mad as a mule chewin' on bumblebees.

Hotter than a two dollar pistol.

Don't get your cows runnin.

A trace of the uppity

If a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass a-hoppin.’

Just because there is a rat in the barn doesn’t mean you need to burn it down.

He couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.

He's busier than a cat with two tails.

Looks like you came to a goat’s house for wool!

Sober as a judge
