During my time here in Tennesee I have heard many sayings that I didn't quite understand (and some I still don't fully understand) but that are quite humorous.... so I thought I would share some of the most common ones. Thanks to my coworkers (John, Tracey, and Pat) I have compiled quite a list:
- Smells so bad it could knock a maggot off a gut wagon.
- As useless as tits on a boar hog.
- That boy’s two bricks shy of a full load.
- Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then.
- They’re as bright as a burned out light bulb.
- I think he’s one fry short of a Happy Meal
- Slower than molasses in January
- Grandma’s slow so what’s your excuse?
- He ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, so we call him spoon
- He just made himself look like the north-end of a south-bound donkey
- Don’t mind the mule being blind, just load the wagon
- Blind man runnin’ for his life will never see it
- Ain’t seen hide nor hair of 'em
- As many as Carter’s got liver pills
- If you run with turkeys you’ll never fly with the eagles.
- If you lay with dogs you’re gonna get fleas
- As busy as a one arm paper hanger
- You’re the cats pajamas
- As fine as frog hair
- Goin’ to hell in a handbasket
- Happy as a coon in a rock house
- As easy as catchin’ fish in a barrel
- Happy as a cat in the scratchin’s
- Don’t want to hear the labor pains, just show me the baby
- I’m ready, if I don’t get to go
- Full as a tick

Two of my favorites are 'she could talk a dog off a meat wagon' and 'he could get Sherman's march reduced to trespassing'.
I guess those types of things are regional...I never thought about it much! Thanks for sharing these. I knew a few from living in the Northeast...#7, 13, and 20.
