Raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock.

Slick as hot snot on a doorknob.

Fits like socks on a chicken.

I live by the old saying "What is, is" unless you can change it, live with it.

He doesn't know his a** from his elbow

Let sleeping dogs lie

And if horses could pray it would rain carrots

Mad as a wet hen

Hot as a tar road in Tennessee

Out of the frying pan into the fire
