New Game

Basil just posted this:

Well strap me to the side of a pig and roll me in the mud!

Which made me think of a new thread:

What are some of your favorite colloquialisms?

Here's mine: Well strip my gears and call me "Shiftless".

"Don't shoot your mouth off until you know your brains are loaded."

 

[Lukens]

Colloquialism: An informal expression that is more often used in casual conversation than in formal speech or writing.

I figured that out.

That one about the Pig I heard George Lindsey use, I think on Hee Haw.

 

[Basil]

He watched the professor's demonstration like a Chicken looking at a card trick.

[Gliderman8]

He has more degrees than a thermometer

 

[Basil]

Busier than a one-armed paper hanger. OR Busier than a one-legged man at a bum-kicking contest.

When people ask me things like "Is that all?" I'll reply "As far as you know."

 

[Boink]

His elevator doesn't go all the way to the top.
One twinkie shy of a full load.
Pissin' into the wind.

S*** and shoved in it.

dumber than a box of rocks

My favorites at the end of the workday...

Make like a shepherd and get the flock out of here.
Make like a tree and leaf
Make like a baby and head out.

 

[DougF]

Scratch my back with a hacksaw!

 

[DougF]

Least favorite....If it were a snake, it would have bit me.

 

[coldplugs]

"He's a bubble and a half off plumb"

"If his IQ was any lower, we'd have to water him"

 

[DrEntropy]

"A little light in his loafers"
"Bovine excrement"
"he doesn't know whether to defecate or change the power source in his chronometer"
"She's built like a force-field latrine!"

 

[Mickey Richaud]

"Hotter than a....."

"Colder than a....."

Never mind.

 

[sail]

Hotter than rat pee.

As dodgy as a fart in a skillet.

 

[Mickey Richaud]

"Well I'll be a suck-egg mule!"

Never did understand THAT one!
