Crazy as a road Lizard

"Drunker than old Kooter Brown"

"Neck of the Woods"

Looks like he got hit with an ugly stick.

"We were so poor we didn't have a pot to pee in or a window to through it out of"

"He's tighter than a Texas hatband

If wishes were horses, then beggers would ride

When hell freezes over, me and the Lord is goin' ICE SKATING

Idle hands are the devils work shop

crazier than a hoot owl

meaner than a snake

he (she) will be late for his (her) own funeral

colder than a well digger's ass

hotter than hades

cuter than a bug on a rug

a stich in time saves nine

don't cry over spilt milk

raining cats and dogs

higher than a kite

a penny saved is a penny eraned

don't count your chickens before they are hatched;

"I'm poor as a church mouse"

"You ol' coot"

"She's talkin' up a blue streak"

"Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."

I just wanted to shake them till their teeth rattled"

"Where there's a will, there is a way"!

"I am going to kill him and tell God he dropped die".

"only the good die young".

"their hell on wheels" 

"Oh LORRRRDY my dogs is-a barkin!"

"I'll slap you naked and sell your clothes"

I’ll knock you into next week

"snatch you bawl headed"

"pecker head",

"Can't make a silk purse from a sows' ear."

"madder than a wet hen".

"Colder than a well-digger's ass

Colder than a witches T*Tie

"Don't let the door hit you in the behind when you leave."

If you lie with dogs, you're bound to get fleas

Don't ride a good horse to death

Let your vittles stop your mouth

What is good for the goose is good for the gander

the straw that broke the camel's back

Church isn't over until the singing is done

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Every old black crow thinks her baby is white as snow

It will all come out in the wash

Cleanliness is next to Godliness

Pride cometh before a fall

A rolling stone gathers no moss

A liar is worse than a thief.

You can lock the door on a thief but not a liar

Too late to lock the barn door after the horse is stolen

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

What can't be cured, must be endured

There is many a slip between the cup and the lip

The pot can't call the kettle black

If you burn your seat, you have to sit on the blister

Just as well eat the devil as drink his broth

Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.

Always darkest before the dawn.

If you want to be treated like a lady, you have to act like one

The bawling cow soon forgets the calf.

Don't jump out of the frying pan into the fire

You can't go far but what your tail will follow you.

Don't rob Peter to pay Paul

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face

A whistling girl and a crowing hen will always come to a bad end

Let the tail go with the hide

Always have on clean underwear. You never know when you might have an accident and have to go to the hospital....

He's as poor as Job's turkey

She talk's ever which way."

"This thang is plum whompered-jawed."

"I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea."

"Give him time and he'll come to his milk."

"I'll slap you to the back side o' no where."

 "Madder than an old wet hen."

"Ah, the Dickens and Tom Walker."

"He walks like his got ants in his britches."

 "There never was a hoss that couldn't be rode." How

"He's like a dog with a bone."

"Busy as a one-eyed man at a burlesque show."

 she looks like she's been rode hard and put up wet!!

"Lord willing and the creek don't rise

"Cain't never could do nuthin"

Useless as **** on a boar hog"

"Blind in one ear and can't see out of the other one

"gonna whup you like a step child"

"slicker'n snot"

"If you don't straighten up I'm gonna rip of your arm and beat you with the bloody stump."

My two cents worth

If you don't stop that, "I'm gonna to kick the tar outa ya." >

"We've about beat this horse to death"

"The kids are out of pocket"

"livin' above yur raisin'

"If wishes were horses we'd ALL take a ride."

Thanks for stopping by y'all
