My personal favorite is to stand near the line of kids and parents waiting to get their picture taken with the Easter Bunny ... "Wow, look at the load of Christian kids waiting to sit on the lap of the Pagan Fertility Symbol!"

"I feel like someone beat my ass with a sack of catfish" |
Quote:
My friends - sadly - didn't believe me, although they admitted I went white then bright red. I do wonder if he had a thing about skinny girls in baggy jumpers & ankle length skirts, or whether it was just a power trip because I was such an unlikely candidate. |
Busier than a two tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs
Busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest Busier than a one armed paper hanger |
Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs
(though I've never heard that one, just read it - does it count?) |
Nervous as a pregnant nun
|
scared as a 10 year old on report card day
|
too broke to pay attention
like a cat on a hot tin roof up the creek without a paddle weak as water |
Fine as paint
|
fine as frog hair
|
fine as a red cunt hair
|
scarce as hen's teeth
|
One for the festive season (if you know what I mean):
'Eyes like pissholes in the snow' |
fine as frogs hair
|
(on a fine booty, while walking): like two hound dogs wrasslin in a sack
(on a less toned female form): looks like a bag of cats headed for the river |
|
Useless as tits on a boar.
|
As busy as a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest.
|
"slicker that owl shit"
|
"Barking Spiders"
My hubby says that everytime he farts. Obviously I married him for his humour. |
LOL - my kids use that term! They got it from my brothers... also known for their humor!!

Rusty on Rin Tin Tin
Sorry but Rusty was not played by Robert Blake, although Blake was one of the Little Rascals. Rusty was played by Lee Aaker.

Wierd sayings
"Nervous as a whore in church"
When you have to clean that up a little it becomes..... "Nervous as a lady of the evening in a house of worship" |
Fit as a butcher's dog.
Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs (expression of surprise). |

Only heard about it. And Fulghum... he caught one.
Of course this story would appear in a book called It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It. |
I think the phrase "Kick yer ass" is pretty weird. It has nothing to do with an actual kicking of the buttockal area.
|
It does sometimes...I've seen it happen once or twice.

"In the rare cases where this does succeed, the subject becomes freaked out by the experience and runs away." So - is "freaked out" the scientific term for it? I heart squirrels. |
How about 'stick your oar in' - meaning to put your point of view across without being asked, or to meddle when not invited - as in 'trust you to stick your oar in'

'I could eat the guts of low flying duck' - meaning if the duck flies to low, I'll reach up and bite it as it flies over...at least, that's what I've always thought it means.

wait? what? I thought the carrot was representative of positive reinforcement and the stick negative???
Unless the carrot is tied to the stick just out of reach in which case I agree as the "beast of burden" moves toward the carrot it remains out of reach. Those are two different things though. |
It can refer to two different things.
|
just not at the same time as they are completely unrelated
