He is purse proud.

You’re trying to push a rope.

Devil's beating his wife with a frying pan

Long as a month of Sundays.

If I had two wheels, I would be a bicycle.

Let’s put the chairs in the wagon.

Lost as a goose in a snowstorm

You might as well play Hob with the hoe-handle!

Uglier than the southbound end of a northbound donkey.

Can you carry me up to the picture show?

That's as scarce as hen's teeth.

He's as country as a bowl of grits.

Well, knock me down and call me 'Shorty'!

… took a long dip in the ugly pond

Faster than a scalded dog

He lives in your neck of the woods.

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

I'm fixin' to go down the road a piece.
