Well, slap my head and call me silly!

Meaner than a snake

In the marble orchard.

So tight you can hear him squeak when he walks

Don't gobble in the woods during hunting season.

Tall hog at the trough

A close chewer and a tight spitter.

Stomping grounds

A face like a welder’s bench

Wouldn’t say soo-ee if the pigs were eating him

He’s playing possum.

That cat is wilder than an acre of snakes.

Born short and slapped down flat

It's been hotter'n a goat's butt in a pepper patch.

Girl, you look so good I could take you home and sop you up with a biscuit.

It's so hot that it makes me want to take off my skin and sit in my bones.

That coffee's strong enough to float an iron spoon.

Dark as three feet up a bull’s ass

He’d argue with a wall as long as it’d stand there and take it.

If you want to fight me you better pack a lunch and bring a flashlight.

A shallow brook is noisiest.
