"shootin" horseshoes

She has a butt like a forty-dollar mule.

You don’t have to have a long neck to be a goose.

Tight as Dick’s hatband

Sittin' on the bedpost.

Well, butter my biscuit.

His porch light’s on, but he ain’t home!

It's hotter than Georgia asphalt.

I'll hit you so hard your children will be born dizzy.

A rooster one day, a feather duster the next.

Not particularly handsome

Don't get your tit in a ringer!

It’s as hot as blue blazes.

Like a buzzard roosted in it

Natural enough to eat pie

Fell down cup over kettle.

Mean enough to charge hell with a quart of ice water.

Don't call him a cowboy, till you've seen him ride.

He’d complain if you hung him with a new rope.

The fool’s so lost he don’t know if he’s afoot or on horseback.

I wouldn't give you air if you were in a jug.
