All hat, no cattle

Happy as a clam at high tide

Sweatin’ like a sinner in church

Madder than a mosquito in a mannequin factory

Busier than a one-legged cat in a sandbox

As useful as a screen door on a submarine

Nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs

Colder than a witch’s titty in a brass bra

As cute as a bug’s ear

Busy as a cat covering shit on a marble floor

Sweeter than a Tennessee peach

Happier than a pig in mud

Slower than molasses in January

Singing like a hillbilly at a hoedown

Dumber than a box of rocks

Fine as Tennessee whiskey

Sweet as southern hospitality

Like a bull in a china shop

Crazy as a junebug in July

Kick the bucket

Hotter than a two-dollar pistol

Tighter than bark on a tree

Tougher than a pine knot

Lord willing and the creek don’t rise

Ain’t got a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of

Up shit creek without a paddle

Drownin’ in sorrow

Happy as a pig in mud

Fit as a fiddle

Rough as a cob

Happy as a clam
