May 24, 200818 yr Tighter than Dick's hat band. I brought you into this world, and I can take you out. He ain't got the brains God gave a turnip. I'll slap the taste right out of your mouth. Meaner than a striped snake.
May 24, 200818 yr ....he's tougher than a pine knot! I brought you into this world, and I can take you out. He ain't got the brains God gave a turnip. I'll slap the taste right out of your mouth. Meaner than a striped snake. Fig and 97, I can tell that we all grew up in the same general area, I have heard every one of those, don't see how I forgot them.... I guess it was beacause I was "dumber than a coal bucket".
May 24, 200818 yr Did your parents have any kids that weren't born braindead? If anyone needs this explained to them, well the answer would be no.
May 24, 200818 yr I had a country grandmother..... Son, your butt is going to be grass and I am going to be the lawnmower. I am sweating like a prostitute in church. You're candidating and you're going to get elected. Never heard this one.
May 24, 200818 yr Here's a few: He's meaner than a copperhead. He'd steal the nickles off a dead man's eyes. My belly's tighter than a banjer head. That's like trying to get blood from a turnip. She's poorer than a whippoorwill. He's not worth the powder and lead to blow his brains out. They're like two peas in a pod. He's higher than a Kentucky (sometimes Georgia) pine. It's hotter than blue blazes. He's as crooked as a dog's hind leg. You couldn't boil water without scorching it. If you get burnt you have to sit on the blister. (About a bad trade) One bad apple spoils the whole bushel. I'll whip you till you poop, then whip ya for pooping. He's driving his ducks to a bad market. He'll fight at the drop of a hat, and he'll drop the hat himself. He's as dangerous as a cocked cannon. Hiring that man is like getting the fox to guard the hen house. I wouldn't take a Bluegrass farm for that dog. She's purty as a speckled pup. He was as necked as a jay bird. I'm madder than a wet hen. He's weaker than wash water. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I'll just kill two birds with one stone. I'm so hungery my stomach thinks my mouth went on strike.
May 24, 200818 yr Here's a few I just thought of, dealing with money: He's tighter than the bark on a beech tree. He's so tight he squeaks when he walks. He's so stingy that he squeezes a penny so hard than ol' Abe himself squals. (Or, he squeezes a nickle till the buffalo poops).

May 25, 200818 yr If you're waiting on me you're a backing up. Truer words were never spoken through falser teeth.
May 25, 200818 yr Here's one that many around my area says when asked this type of question. You have to realize that Owsley County is a small populated 4,600, 119th in the state) and fairly isolated county. So everything to locals seems the way of this example: "Where's that guy from?" "I'm not rightly sure, but I think he's from away from here."
May 25, 200818 yr My dad's got a few that I've adopted over the years: "That's one of those places you can't get to from here." "He was drunker than seven hundred dollars." "That guy's dumber than a box of bricks."
