I wouldn't speak to her if I met her in hell and she was carrying a big lump of ice.

So dry he had the rattles

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

Gooder than grits

That's so good it would make a puppy pull a freight train.

He’s livin' in high cotton.

Happiness walks on busy feet.

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

Like a buzzard in a tree waiting for a mule to die

"shootin" horseshoes

His head is full of stump water.

You can hear her three fields off.

Madder than’ a wampus cat

Let a man skin his own skunk.

When a dog is tight-mouthed

He’s gone to hell in a hand basket.

Broke as a whore during lent.

That's like putting a side saddle on a boar hog!

I’ll wear you out till your hide won’t hold shucks.

We didn't plan to take 'em to raise.

You’re trying to push a rope.
