She could ruin a two-car funeral.

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

He’s screw a snake in a sandstorm if someone’d hold it out straight for him.

Two shakes of a lamb's tail

Like getting an ox out of the ditch

It would be better to dress him than to feed him.

He lost his hat, ass, and spats!

I’m gonna have a ‘Come to Jesus’ meeting with him.

Watch him; he'll slip a baby copperhead in your pocket, then ask you for a light.

Like two peas in a pod.

Pass some words

Don’t let yer eyes overload yer belly.

Air up your car

He’s as tough as a boot.

Empty as a winter rain barrel.

Better an empty house than an unwelcomed guest.

He's tighter than a fiddle string

It's gonna be a gully washer.

He’s like a mule halfway home after plowin’ all day.

He is ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag.

Rest your coat.
