I&#39;m still stuck visualizing a woman in a fur coat without any knickers. Dayum![/b]

Me too.. I was hoping this was a "give me a creative new way to surprise him at the door" thread. Left entertained, but disappointed.

A few from a country boy that has never seen the city....

Finer than a frog hair split five ways.

Hotter than a burnin mesquite stump.

Slicker than greased owl shit.

You talk more shit than a chinese radio on a Saturday.

I&#39;ll be on you like white on rice on a paper plate in a snow storm.

You feelin froggy, then leap

You feelin froggy, then leap, but I guarantee I&#39;ll f**k up you landing.

It&#39;s on like Donkey Kong.

Starvin like a bitch wolf packin 10 pups.

Rainin like a cow pissin on a flat rock.

Hotter than two coons in a burlap sack in a hayfield on a summer day.

Sweatin like a french ***** in church on the front row in a red dress.

I gotta piss so bad I&#39;m left handed.

Ya study for a test, you know whats on it, therefore you&#39;re cheatin, but at the same time if you&#39;re not cheatin, you&#39;re not tryin.

Just some thing that I heard from my grandpa, not to be meant as racial at all.

Got them last week, cool huh?

My favorite is: Hotter than two coons in a burlap sack in a hayfield on a summer day. (not to be mislead as racial either, we are talking two raccoons here).

I wasn&#39;t implying anything racist with the Chinese Radio thing, I just didn&#39;t catch the analogy.

Not the brightest crayon in the box

Those are two of my favorites.

In England, we have a saying "Fur coat and no knickers."
In general, it relates to someone talking the talk but not walking the walk, though this is more directly related to material issues.[/b]

I was a little surprised to hear the meaning of the expression. I would have expected it to refer to one who has everything in order when it comes to the superficial but is a complete mess underneath...

In the States, we would say such a person is, "keeping up with the Jones&#39;s" is "all bark but no bite" or is "fiddling while Rome burns" (a la Nero)

Soooo...when I was in Dallas last week, I hear they use the phrase "All hat and no cattle."
I love it!!! :P
I want more!!!![/b]

Rats! Forgot the other part of the original post.

Not being from here myself, I always chuckle at:

"All bolo, no chaps..."

As well. Bolo as in bolo tie... the ridiculous looking thing that passes for a tie in these parts...

That dog will hunt! (that works, or I agree) If you are speaking with a southern drawl, will would be pronounced ull.
:)[/b]

I always thought it was WON&#39;T hunt... as in that excuse won&#39;t work...

When pronounced southern... wun&#39;t huunntt... :P

"million $ body and 10 cent face"
"Million $ body & 10 cent brain"
or several other variations thereof...

We have many of those in England too.
We also say "A sandwich short of a picnic." ;)

That was my Dad&#39;s favorite. Perhaps he picked it up hanging around the SAS boyz during WW2.

In addition to the others...

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Too poor to pay attention.
