If a man has to ask for help it's too late to volunteer.
Careful, I heard that might be fatal to the death. She was so fat her butt looked like two hogs wrestlin' in a tow sack. That dog is so lazy he leans against the barn to bark. Believe you me... I sworny... That (food) was so good it made you wanna go home and slap yore granny. Pay attention, it's free. Don't tell me you were thinking again. We have books for that. Sorry I'm late, the Kentucky Highway Patrol stopped me at the state line to search my car for text books and other contraband. |

When cooking...
"if you can smell it, it's too late."
(this is especially relevant when broiling something like garlic bread) |

"Only whores and sick people are in bed after sunrise" was my dad's greeting in the morning if we slept too late.

Busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger.
Or, busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest. Pay attention, it's free from Pitar is a good one, but I've also heard I'm too poor to pay attention. He had a good idea, but it died of loneliness.

"Open the door, Ma! That's my hog!" (A proper rejoinder when somebody in the room eructs.)
"Shut your piehole!" (To end blathering.) "Katy bar the door!" (To announce wrecklessness.) Just a few I use. I'm sure I'll think of others. f-d

Another from my grandmother:
"If if's and but's were candy and nuts, We'd all have a very Merry Christmas". |

A sausage short of a Barbie is common down here.
My Grandfather used to tell me not to get my feet wet if I were going Swimming What colour you drink? Was a common question in the Territory, meaning what brand of beer did you drink. (Related to the colour of the cans it came in.)

In the UK, and in Australia, New Zealand, and most of the British Empire, the word "bugger" or "buggar" is part of many terms which basically means messed up or useless.
(It has nothing to do with anything sexual), but may come from the Anglo-Norman bougre, bowgard, bouguer - something to do with Heretics in the 11th C. Children are commonly and mostly affectionately called "little buggers, Doing something ineffectually is "buggering about". Nothing, or nothing you can do is "bugger all" Bugger me - means "Oh my!" Bugger's muddle means a mess or group of disorderly people. My father used it all the time as a greeting "How are you, you old bugger!" - only used to close friends.

Two bricks shy of a load/your bread ain't done/a little light in the loafers/bats in the belfrey
"Crap in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up the fastest". When we angered her my mom was wont to say, "You kids would make a preacher cuss" ( I never got the full grasp of that one until I became one). This was usually followed by a threat to "slap the pee-water" out of us... "How they hangin'?" Probably a boatload more... |

Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Bless her heart but she's dumb as a box of rocks. He's got three working brain cells and two of them are breathe in and breathe out.

I like one Lincoln used to refer to another politician. "Only thing he wouldn't steal is a red hot stove"
Another I used to hear "If my dog was that ugly I'd shave his butt and teach him to walk backwards" To remark on someone's gas expulsion "Something crawled up inside of you and died" |
