Talk the legs off a dead mule – or – talk the hind leg off a donkey

Like a sow needs a sidesaddle

Wasn’t to no age.

In high cotton

Madder than’ a wampus cat

Purty as a picture

He's as country as a bowl of grits.

Broke out with money

So ugly no fly would land on ‘em

Like getting an ox out of the ditch

Crooked as a dog's hind leg.

He looks like he stepped out of a bandbox.

I'll snatch you baldheaded.

Out of soap

You’d walk her down the front row of a revival meeting.

Too slow to keep worms in a tin.

Warmin’ over old soup

He is just a hole in search of donut.

He ain't got no home trainin.

He just sits there like a bump on a log.

Like three feet up a bull’s ass
