That possum's on the stump.

So ugly no fly would land on ‘em

I’m gonna tan yer hide!

Skinny as a bean pole.

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

The water won’t clear till you get the hogs out of the creek.

My boss rides me like a sway back mule.

This ain’t the first time I’ve brought chicken to a fish fry.

It come up a bad cloud.

He’s in a foggery.

I’m so poor that if it cost a nickle to go around the world, I couldn’t get out of sight.

Nobody will ever notice it on a galloping horse.

He's steal the bridle off a nightmare.

He traveled a minute in thirty seconds.

Use your head for something besides a hat rack.

Let a man skin his own skunk.

He's three days older than Moses.

Finer than frog's hair

She’s got more than one mule in her stable.

… more than Carter’s got pills.

That land is so poor two red-headed women couldn’t raise a fuss on it.
