As full of wind as a corn-eating horse

Crooked as a dog's hind leg.

like trying to herd cats

You look like something the cat drug in and the dog won’t eat.

Going to hell in a handbasket

Held his hind leg.

It’s comin’ down a toad-floater.

Sharp as a ball peen hammer.

Her butt is two axe handles wide.

I’m gonna tan your hide.

Nervous as a cow with a bucktooth calf.

In high cotton

You couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle.

Cooler than a flip side of a down pillow.

Glad eye

If promises were persimmons, possums could eat good at her place.

Who's pluckin' this chicken, me or you?

Slow as an iron toad

He was grinnin' like a possum eatin' briars.

This is gooder'n grits.

It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
