In this neck of the woods, we use many ANALOGIES to describe people and happenings. What phrases do you use to describe people or their behavior, or other things. (2 cans short of a six pack---tain't over till the fat lady sings---born with batts in his/her belfry---like shoveling sh## against the tide--- plowed uphill all his life--born with golden spoon) Wow this could be a test in college Psychology course! Did I spell everything wite?? Had to look up a couple words in the dictionary but didn't know how to spell um!!! to check.
 
Instead of saying something you will regret later, it's best to remember "don't pee in the well...you might have to drink it later"...:) Mike
 
A couple of my favorites. I would like to know how big of a bowl of stupid he had for breakfast, or He is so dumb he couldn't pour P** out of a boot with the directions on the heel.

His elevator don't go all the way up.
Coupla blips out of plumb.
The lights are on, but there's nobody home.
Coupla fries short of a happy meal.
 
I heard a southern lady author say that you could say anything about a person as long as you said 'bless his heart' afterward. The example she gave was "if you was to put his brains on the head of a pin they would rattle around like a BB on a six-lane highway, bless his heart."

I started out with nothing and still have most of it left! "Hambone says "if you"re down on something, then you"re not on top of it! My wife"s late uncle , who was a retired N.C. Farm Bureau insurance rep for 35+ years had a ton of sayings and these two are the only ones I can remember at this moment in time.
 
There's one that I've only ever heard here at work. When all the technical and procedural details of something have been worked out we say "It's all been saucered and blowed", which I guess is referring to the way a proper person cools off their tea if it's too hot to drink.
 
Here are my favorites:

A girl------A dreamboat body with a shipwrecked face.

Now don't go p**sing down the back of my neck and try and tell me it's raining. She was on that like a Duck on a Junebug. You can call me whatever but don't call me late for dinner.
 
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. When a little tongue tied - Got my tongue in front of my eyetooth and couldn't see what I was saying. Dumb as a stump. Certifiable. They could let just anyone out of the nuthouse just to make room for you (or him).
 
Dumber than a box of rocks, lazier than a pet coon. Best one "post turtle", you know turtle stuck on top of a fence post, no clue how he got there or what to do to get down.

Was talking to a friend, about 70 years old. He allowed he was going to marry a nice looking lady, about age 50. Said his hands were tired! I told him to not get his hopes up--just remember, ya can't push a wagon up-hill with a rope! Don't know how long he lasted---
 
If someone tells me to have a good one(meaning a good day). I usually tell them I got a good one now I want a longer one!
 
When asked if I got a raise, I say "Yeah, Leather goods - a belt to the mouth and a boot to the azz"

"He talks out his azz because his mouth know better"

"Ain't got the sense God gave a squirrel."

"He works so slow, you gotta set stakes to see if he's moving."

"I'd call you a jackazz, but I don't wanna insult the animal."

"It's enough to make a preacher cuss." My Dad always told me, "You would argue with a signpost." I disagreed heartily. Also "Use your head for somethin' besides a hat rack." If my Irish mom got mad at somebody, "You can just lick my behind." THE END
 
Dad died about a month ago at the age of 91, but here are a few that I remember that he repeated:

Don't pee before the water comes.

Be careful you don't get the wrong wrinkle. (when he saw you taking a leak around the corner of the barn on a cold day)

Scarce as hens teeth.

He who waits on a dead man's shoes goes barefoot.

Corn had ears like mule pricks, long as your arm and thick as your fist.

If it's worth doin, it's worth doin right.
