That'll go over like a turd in the punch bowl.

That'll go over like a pregnant pole vaulter.

You can call a cow's tail a leg but it doesn't make it one. (originated with A. Lincoln I believe)

A lazy wind
Describing an incessant wind that never stops and doesn't go round things but straight through (hence lazy and too tired to go round), as in flattens anything in its path

As useful as a hat full of a...holes

He's only ninepence in the shilling (not very bright)

Many a good tune played on an old fiddle (has various applications)

Funny as a fart in a space suit...

I'd rather drink turpentine and piss on a brushfire

if you're ever down by the river... drop in

If i don't see ya before it rains.... piss on ya

If i don't see ya before Easter.... paint your own damn eggs

If I don't see ya before halloween.... jack your own lantern

If I don't see ya before mating season.... f@#$ ya

A few off the top of my head.
- The porch lights on but no ones home.
-He doesn't know whether to check his a** or scratch his watch.
-She fell outta the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
-If a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's butt on the ground
-Throwing a hissy fit
-Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining
-He's slicker than owl sh**.

Boudreaux: "That women is so ugly she has pole marks:"
Thiboduaux ask : "Boudreaux what are pole marks. "
Boudreaux says "It's those marks left over after guys touch her with a 10' pole."

One from northern England: "I enjoyed the crack with you."

Means: I enjoyed our mutual banter.

Reminds me of the one probably everyone knows. "Sh** in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up the fastest"

In light of some recent events this one comes to mind, "the dog caught the car".

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
