Shut the light.

As tall as a Georgia pine

A near man with a dollar.

I didn’t just fall off a turnip truck.

Bank walker

I was as surprised as if a sheep had bit me.

Faster than a scalded dog

Her tongue was tied in the middle and loose at both ends.

Marryin’ an’ buryin’ hat

Thirty years one summer

He wouldn’t know his name if it won’t written in his shorts.

Another horse been in his barn

My boss rides me like a sway back mule.

Her butt is as wide as a corn picker.

To get clear water, go to the head of the branch.

Creaking doors hang the longest.

Spread the table.

I’m on it like cheese on grits!

It’s as hot as blue blazes.

What a bunch of potlickers

Now that’ll throw yer hat in the creek.
