Don't forget that when we go to LA to go to the beach, we are talking about
Lower Alabama, not Los Angeles. btw I am from N. GA. and I hear most of
those words every day.

It's not nearly as bad as it was fifties years ago, though, before
television kind of melted us together.

1) He's crazier than a road-runnin' lizard.
2) He doesn't have enough sense to pour **** out of a boot.
3) He'd gripe with a ham under each arm. (That’s one of my grandmother's
favorites for someone who was never satisfied.)
4) I’m hungrier than a bitch hounddog suckin' pups.
5) She's uglier than a mud fence.
6) It'd be a dark night at the well before she'd get a drink. (In other
words, she's so ugly she'd only get her water from the well at night to
avoid being seen.)
7) I'm hotter than a popcorn fart.
8) I'm sweatin' like a whore in church on Sunday.
9) I'm too pooped to pop. (very tired)
10) I'm a stuck duck in a dry pond. (meaning a very difficult situation to
get out of)
11) It's so noisy in here, I can't hear myself think.
12) It's about as useless as a sore thumb.
13) It's colder than a well digger's butt in Idaho.
14) "If y'all don't quit that fightin', I'm gonna whip you so hard you won't
be able to sit down for a week." (This was one of my mother's favorites when
my sister and I were kids)
15) I'm worn to a frazzle. (very tired)
16) It came a real gully-washer last night. (lots of rain)
17) Whew, I'm hot as a bear!
18) There were so many people, you couldn't stir 'em with a stick.
19) She’s pretty as a speckled pup.
20) He’s drunker than Old Cooter Brown.
21) He came in 3 sheets in the wind. (to describe someone drunk)
22) Why are you smilin' like a goat in a briarpatch? (Our high school coach
liked to use this one when one of us was up to something we shouldn't be and
were trying to hide it.)
23) He's tighter than a fiddle string. (very conservative with money)
24) My wife uses this one occasionally. I say, "I would really like to have
that" -- to which she responds, "I'm sure a man in hell would like a drink
of water too." In other words, I ain't a gettin' it.
25) He doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground.
26) My mom used to say when it rains and the sun is shining that the devil
is whippin' his wife.
27) Concerning thunder she would say, "It's thundering in the thicket by
blue goose the moose."
28) And from my mother when we were getting smart with her: "You’re gettin'
just a little bit too big for your britches -- I may have to take you down a
notch or two."
29) When you ask my grandmother to go anywhere of any distance, she would
respond with "Oh, it's too far and snakey."
30) Don't just sit there like a frog on a log.
31) I'm so thirsty I could drink the well dry. (My grandmother used this one
a lot.)
32) My granddad would describe someone in a bad mood as "being out of
snuff."
33) My granddad would also refer to toys as "pretties." For example, "You'd
better pick up your pretties, son." (That's pronounced "purties.")
