Like a spring lizard in a henhouse

Air up your car

Don't go back on your raisin'

Don’t insult the alligator till you’ve crossed the stream.

He’s like a bad penny.

She’s about a half a bubble off plumb.

Felt like a rabbit ran over my grave

People in hell want ice water, but that don’t mean they get it.

Out of soap

Tougher than a one-eared alley cat.

If you can't hang with the big dawgs, get off the porch!

Too poor to paint, too proud to whitewash.

Hotter than the hinges of Hell.

I feel lower than a snake in snowshoes.

Georgia buggy

If you are in trouble and told to go out and cut your own switch…don’t come back with a little one…that ain’t going to work for ya.

If enough people tell you you’re dead, you ought to lay down.

So ugly he could snag lightning

I’m fixin' to run over to the bank.

Don't sneeze behind a skittish horse.

Like getting an ox out of the ditch
