Bigger’n Dallas

Going to hell in a handbasket

So good it’ll make you smack yo mama.

Took the preachers seat

Going ninety to nothin'

Doesn’t have a pot to piss in

Throw the hatchet

That brush was so thick a dog couldn't bark in it.

Slower than a Sunday afternoon.

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

… took a long dip in the ugly pond

I love you a bushel and a peck.

Well look what the cat dragged in.

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

Don't sell your mule to buy a plow.

Got off like a fat rat with cheese.

It’s hotter than a fritter!

You plant a tater, you get a tater.

If promises were persimmons, possums could eat good at her place.

He’s gone to hell in a hand basket.

Boy, I will walk a mud hole in you and stomp it dry.
