Dark as three feet up a bull’s ass

If a cow had wheels, it would be a milk truck.

She’s so poor she ain’t got two nickels to rub together.

Those wise decisions you make when you’re young are those foolish ones you’ll live with when your old.

Get a hump on

Like a live oak limb

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, what a Merry Christmas we’d have.

So good it’ll make you smack yo mama.

Colder than a well digger's ass

As full of wind as a corn-eating horse

You might as well play Hob with the hoe-handle!

So ugly he could snag lightning

He wouldn’t know his name if it won’t written in his shorts.

Within a lash

So hungry my belly thinks my throat's been cut.

Where do you fall?

Louder than two skeletons fighting on a tin roof.

I'm gonna put knots on yor head faster than you can rub them.

This likker is just right; if it’d been any worse, I couldn’t have drunk it; if it’d been any better, you wouldn’t have give it to me.

The apple never falls too far from the tree.

If enough people tell you you’re dead, you ought to lay down.
