He looked like all the cheese slid off his cracker.

She's finer than frog's hair

You look like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound sack

 

 

His elevator doesn't go all the way to the top

Few bricks shy of a load

As nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs

Sweatin' like a guy from Indiana tryin' to read. 

I'm so angry I could back up to a doorknob and bite it off.

I prefer might could 

It might look stupid, but if it works, then it ain't stupid.

Used to could for past tense 

Two from my grandmother:

well I’ll swanny (a general purpose exclamation denoting surprise, especially for kids stuff). “Hey grandma, I win the spelling bee!”  Well I’ll swanny!  No idea what that means. 
 

What the Sam Hill is going on here?  No idea the origin of this phrase. 
 

anything that we’re “fixin” to do.

Pronounced "fittin-duh". "I'm fittin-duh go to HEB...if they are open."

actually, the really shorthand version is finna:  "I'm finna go get some beer, want a couple cases?"

I like it when the past tense of throw is “thowed”, such as “I thowed that old tire over the fence.”

My uncle would tell his Mexican ranch hands, "No lunchee my beans!"

Momma's biscuits taste so good if you put one on top of your head your tongue would beat your brains out trying to get to it.

I was shaking like a dog shittin peach seeds.

We were so broke we couldn't pay attention.

We didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.

He was richer than 3 feet up a bull's ass.

That boy couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

You got zach-lees breath - your breath smell zachlees like your asshole.

The sun don't shine on the same dog's ass 24 hours a day

 

is the way I've heard it.

Smells like a bag full of assholes in here. (I still use this one on my boys from time to time)

Harder than woodpecker lips.

Came to post Devil Beating his Wife but see that's covered. I thought it sounded cool as a kid but now I'm thinking WTF?  Who comes up with something like that.  And what is it supposed to mean, the sunny raindrops are the wife's tears?

My mee maw would always say "You don't mean it!"  in hard Texas drawl whenever I told her some dumb kid story.  It was meant kind of like, "That's fantastic!"   She'd say it over and over and I'd just nod my head and smile.

Grandpa told me I was "grinning like a dog eating shit" when he bought me a Chunky one time.

I'll put a knot on your head, so big, a calf could suck it.

If I could buy you for what you think you're worth and sell you for what you're really worth, I would be a rich man.

Having you help me, is like losing three good men.

She/he is so ugly they have to drink curdled milk.

It was cut out right, but sewed up wrong. (poor design)

His/her teeth are so crocked, they could eat corn on the cob through a tennis racket.

She should sue the city for building the sidewalk too close to her ass. (short)

The Good Lord split her a long way before he decided to punch a hole. (My granddad used to say this when he saw a long legged woman)

One of my own:

My town was so small, that the city limit signs entering and leaving town were on the same post.

Swanny or swan was discussed on a Way With Words on NPR.  It is a contraction of the phrase "I shall warrant," as in I do declare, or I swear.

Strangely enough, to "swear" (as in a solemn oath) was thought, like more conventional cuss or swear words, to be sacrilegious.  So there were a number of ways of saying basically "I swear" that danced around the swearing part.

Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you.

That's uglier than a bull's nuts tied up with a log chain.

If that kid's brains were gas, it wouldn't get a piss-ant's motorcycle around a BB.

My 93yo Grandma still says warsh instead of wash.

I'm so broke that if it cost a dollar to go around the world, I couldn't afford to get outta sight.

Screwed up like bubblegum

Dumber than a day-old aggie

I wouldn't piss on him if he was burnin'.  

He's so small-brained that if you put it in a bug, it'd roll around like a BB in a boxcar.

He's only good for 2 things... fuckin and fryin meat.

If you're waiting on me, you're backing up.

I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.

Some good ones on this page, I'm going to try to remember this'un - "It was cut out right, but sewed up wrong." thanks @CHIEF

If it were a snake, it woulda bit me.

He's too old to cut the mustard. (from a song or a song was written about the countryism)

Were you raised in a barn?  (If you didn't close a door behind you.)

A day late and a dollar short.

Little pitchers have big ears.

He's messed up like a snake in a lawnmower

That boy could screw up a wet dream

I'd bang her like a screen door on a shrimp boat in a hurricane

RIP JLG, and fuck cancer

My grandmother (from Robstown) would say: "I feel like I been shot at and missed and shit at and hit."

More country than a fried okra sandwich

a shop keeper out in Leakey used this to describe the hunting guide my brother was looking to meet up with.
