Devil's beating his wife with a frying pan

Bumpin’ yer gums!

You need to count your fingers after shaking hands with him.

I was as surprised as if a sheep had bit me.

She has a butt like a forty-dollar mule.

To think hard of

Don’t insult the alligator till you’ve crossed the stream.

I've had an apple out of that bag.

You had better go lick that calf over.

Don't let the bear get'cha.

Ready with his hat and slow with his money.

Nervous as a cow with a bucktooth calf.

Better an empty house than an unwelcomed guest.

Oh for crying in the bucket.

You're a dime holdin’ up a dollar.

As tired as a whore on nickel night.

Like trying to sneak daylight past a rooster

Let a man skin his own skunk.

Well, hush my mouth.

A face like a well slapped ass.

Like a peach-orchard bull
