I’m on it like cheese on grits!

That kid could break an anvil.

Her butt is two axe handles wide.

The engine's runnin' but ain't nobody driving.

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

Cathead biscuit

When poverty comes in the front door, love goes out the back.

Like a polecat at a camp meeting

Like what God gave a billy goat

That possum's on the stump.

He is one ass kicking away from being a pretty nice fellow.

He don’t use his kindlin’ to get a fire started.

Spread the table.

Sittin’ in the catbird seat

Greener than goose shit

Darn it, I tumped over my tea.

Quit bein’ ugly.

Come here and gimme a Yankee dime.

Who put a bee in her bonnet?

You couldn't hit sand if you fell off a camel.

Tough as a pine knot in a sawmill.
