Big hat, no cattle

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

Don’t pay it no never mind.

Bless your pea-pickin' heart.

Put on the dog

A face like a well slapped ass.

Like a two-forty trot

His front porch light is burnt out.

Knee high to a grasshopper

He is purse proud.

He’s so mean a rattlesnake bit him five times and died.

He won’t hit a lick at a snake.

… as clumsy as a blind dog in a meat house.

Good Heavenly Days!

As full of wind as a corn-eating horse

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

I’m goin’ to be on you quicker than a duck on a June bug.

Short as a gnat's tail

He traveled a minute in thirty seconds.

You look the south end of a north bound cow.

Like a spring lizard in a henhouse
