Bless your pea-pickin' heart.

I love you like a fat kid loves cake.

She’s so stubborn she’d argue with a stop sign.

She’d scare a haint up a thorn tree.

Hangin’ in there like a hair in a biscuit.

Like a buzzard roosted in it

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

Like a spring lizard in a henhouse

No, it’s liquid sunshine.

He wants the earth and the moon with two strands of bob wire around it – and it white washed.

Sure as the vine twines 'round the stump, you are my darlin' sugar lump.

The dinner bell is always in tune.

I feel like I've been chewed up and spit out.

This ain’t the first time I’ve brought chicken to a fish fry.

As easy as herding chickens/cats

It’s cold enough to freeze a turkey off the roost.

Where you stay?

Dressed like a Philadelphia lawyer

The engine's runnin' but ain't nobody driving.

Living high on the hog

He could fall down walkin’ from the house to the barn.
