In high cotton

The apple never falls too far from the tree.

He could sell firewood in hell.

Y'all stay the night. We don’t have extra beds, but I’m sure we can find a nail to hang you on.

I’ll snatch you bald headed.

Would you raise that winder down! I'm freezin' my tail off!

You look like you were pulled through a knothole backwards.

Well, shut my mouth.

Panting like a lizard on a hot rock

Well when you go through a briar patch you don’t know which briar scratched you.

Ain't I God's own fool?

His face was all plowed up

Two ax handles acrost

Like a polecat at a camp meeting

Well look what the cat dragged in.

I wouldn't speak to her if I met her in hell and she was carrying a big lump of ice.

Can’t hear thunder

He's gotta whole head full of simple.

It's your little red wagon, you can push it or pull it.

Stand pappy

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