He took in a lot of mules.

He's as happy as if he had good sense.

I do all I can… and the easy ones twice.

He can get glad the same way he got mad, or else he's gon' die unhappy.

I’m fixin' to run over to the bank.

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

He's tighter than a fiddle string

Lay out of work or school

Them dumplin's are so good, they'll make you want to slap your momma!

Within a lash

Sittin' on the bedpost.

She looked like death eating a cracker.

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

That dog won't hunt.

It’s hotter than the hinges of Hell.

I'm out like a fat girl stealing second.

Fell down cup over kettle.

Everybody’s in the same pew

Dressed like a Philadelphia lawyer

Just because a chicken has wings doesn't mean it can fly.

Like a polecat at a camp meeting
