Like a rooster in an empty henhouse

He’s gettin’ above his raisin.'

Going to hell in a handbasket

Born short and slapped down flat

Her tongue is so long she could lick a skillet from the front porch.

Busier than a moth in a mitten!

I’m fair to middlin’.

Like a peach-orchard bull

Have no axe to grind

Busier than a cross eyed cranberry picker.

Dumber than a road lizard

I'll walk to town on that lip!

Looks like he’s been chewin’ tobacco and spittin’ in the wind.

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

She looks like she was rode hard and put up wet.

Madder than spit on a griddle

As tired as a whore on nickel night.

She's so mad she's gonna raise sand.

like trying to herd cats

Pass some words

Smart as a tree full of owls.
