Don't let the bear get'cha.

Pull in your horns.

I don’t know her from Adam’s house cat.

Bank walker

He’d skin a flea for the hide and tallow.

Mites don’t fly this time of the year.

Long as a month of Sundays.

Happy as a pig in Palestine.

We don’t air our dirty laundry out in public.

Got a face like a mile of unpaved road.

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

I’ll snatch you bald headed.

He's as happy as if he had good sense.

If [such and such happens] then it’s gonna be too wet to plow.

Hotter than two rabbits screwin’ in a wool sock!

You didn’t pick up a crooked stick.

You could grow potatoes in those dirty ears.

If you told her to haul butt, she would have to make two trips.

He's as country as a bowl of grits.

Proud as a dog with a hemstitched tail

Skinny as a bean pole.
