She doesn’t have enough fat on her arse to fry her ears

"Hokey Butchermesser". My grandfather used that expression. One example of how he used it was when I caught my first mink and I showed it to him. He said, "hokey butchermesser".

Roy Garber on Shipping Wars: "Nickel holding up a dollar!"

A penny for your thoughts

I have seen were a penny for your thoughts was price gouging

Your always putting in your 2 cent worth.

if you cant fix it with a hammer its got to be an electrical problem

sometime your the windshield sometimes your the bug

Barking up the wrong tree

Stands out like a sheep turd in a pan of milk.
Butt deep to a tall indian.

My Granny, " That woman is as nice as she can be, but she's ugly as homemade soap."
My Grandpa, "Do you live close by, or did you ride your bike?" and,
"You stepped in what?" when he knew that you were trying to pull his leg.

it's always something

It's a horse a piece.

Uglier than a mud fence.

If brains were dynamite you couldn't blow your nose.

Crazy as an outhouse rat
Naked as a handsaw
Shaking like a puppy passing a peach seed

One of my grand fathers favorite phrases that you just don't hear anymore was
Don't take any wooden nickels.

One of the few phrases from construction that I can post on here is

He’s so lazy he “wouldn’t hit a lick at a snake.”

He’s crooked as a barrel of snakes.
Harder than a coke bottle.
Busier than a one-armed paper hanger.
He wouldn’t pay $5.00 to watch Jumbo walk a high wire.
Rich as a foot up a bull’s a##.

Don’t know the origins of any of these old sayings but I’ve heard them “ever since Hector was a pup.”

A guy I know from Canada would tell a long story about what he had to do to fix his old truck on the side of the road.
He ended the story of success with, "and Bob's-your-uncle." Not sure what that means, but its kind of catchy so I use it all the time now.

That's a doozie.
Referring to Duzenburg, a luxury car that soon went out of bidness

My son bought me a huge book that covers the origin and usage of thousands of sayings. I find the book very interesting indeed.
