MY Grandson is so confused by my sayings, most learned from my Dad or other old timers, lol. I have to explain them to him.
Six of one half dozen of the other.
Some people just talk to hear their jaws rattle.
Better chances than a one-legged man in a## or butt kicking contest.
Acting like a cat on hot tin roof
Whats good for the good is good for the gander

Worthless as a dog that won't hunt.
Knee high to a grasshopper
Slower than molasses in January
Slicker than snot on a hoe handle
"chuckling" She looks like she got ten pounds of potatoes in a five pound sack.

We also used to say "leaning to Hazelbakers" when the wind would blow.
The farm down the road from my uncles was called the Hazelbaker Farm. So when the wind would blow he'd look out the window and go "The trees are leaning to Hazelbakers."
So now any time the wind blows we'll say it, even though none of us live near them. My Grandpa lived in Bradford, PA. He always said "Leaning towards Sooner." Never knew where Sooner was.

I gave him the whole 9 yards. (Back in world war 2 the machine gunner's ammo belt was 9 yards long)
Balls to the wall ( Again back in world war 2 the bomber would dive down close to the target dropping the bomb and would pull the controls which was mounted on a flat metal panel back tight to his who know what to get up out of there before being shot down)
I remember when I use to forget also back in the day.
