TimH said:I'm a fan of local or regional sayings. I'm not sure if metaphore or simile is the right word for it(perhaps a cunning linguist, such as reader(the second) could enlighten a 'tard like me on it)....
Here is what I mean....
Nervous... As a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs.
Busy....... As a set of jumper cables at a (insert your favorite racial slur here) funeral.
Ugly...... She looked like someone had taken a logging chain and sewed a dog's a$$ shut with it.
Smooth..... As a Nun's tit.
Slippery... As 2 slugs f'ing in a pail of snot.
I'm sorry if some find these sayings offensive but I'd be interested to hear some more..... I get a kick out of them.
Busy as a cat on a hot tin roof

Eat it and beat it.
Feed and flee. (Both these were told to us by our Banker,
believe it or not). :shock:
Can't carry a tune in a bucket. (me)
One boy is a boy, two boys is half a boy,
and three boys are no boys at all.
You made your bed, now lay in it.
And my favorite: "Sulled up like bullfrog full of blowflies."
Two axe-handles wide.
Built like a brick outhouse.

It's pretty easy to cut a wide strap with someone else's leather.
Glamour tends to dissolve in sweat.
All show and no go.
A miss is as good as a mile (after surviving a close call).
Footloose and fancy-free.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Saved by the bell.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Never trust a skinny cook.
Time heals all wounds.
Time wounds all heels.
Little pitchers have big ears.
He's as handy as a flood in a fizzy factory.
All hat and no cattle.
Haste makes waste.

Aaaah, FH, you are refering to the "hog and jog", or the "dine and dash".
Well, some of us might know that teats on a boar actually have some use, it allows us to see if their daughters will have lots of teats or a few, so, as my friend said "Worthless as teats on a fish."
Makes about as much sense as a windshield wiper on a duck's butt, huh?
Sometimes, the wind "blows off an iceberg" around here.
Since I have some academic training, sometimes I get caught up in the "paralysis of analysis".

Here are a few more that I thought of.......
Tight------ as a hawk's a$$ in a power dive.
as a bull's a$$ in fly time.
Old------- been around since Christ was a cowboy.
Fat---------- big enough to burn diesel and carry her own saddle tanks.
if she was 2 inches taller she'd be square.
I've got another one for "poor" but it might be a little too raunchy to post here. I'll PM it to anyone who is interested.

She is so wild she doesn't come in to water until after dark.
He couldn't ride a sheep wagon with the door nailed shut.
He couldn't find his hind end with both hands.
Bald as a billiard ball.
Wise as a tree full of owls.
He's just like a bad dog; he can only see one cow at a time.
The older the violin, the sweeter the music.

Just because there is frost on the roof, doesn't mean there is no fire
in the furnace. :wink:
Whatever pleases you, tickles me plumb to death.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I will add to Red Robin's..... She is as ugly as a mud fence in a rain storm
Busy as a one armed man in a booger flicking contest
I was born at night but it wasn't last night
What do you think, I fell off the turnip truck yesterday
have a cold one

Funny as a rubber crutch.
Got one wheel in the sand.
Got one oar in the water.
Colder than a polar bear's pajamas.
Runnin around like a fart in a mitt.
If he went any slower he'd be going backwards.
This is the prime rule of cattle sorting .... The more you hurry the slower you go!
