Had worse on my lip and kept whistling.

My dad used to say,"Oh, your nose in my butt."

Them two are thicker than s--t on a stick.

If so and so turned a corner (the other so n so)s nose would break off.

I don't make me no never mind.

Stand hitched. (for stand still)

Shaking like a dog s---ing bones.

He's a hard dog to keep under the porch.

Dog in the manger.

Just like a dog chewing on a bone.

Digging up bones.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Why buy the cow when you're getting the milk for free.

My mom used to say," Oh you don't know from adams all fox."
I think she meant adams off ox.

It has been fun reading a lot of the sayings I had forgotten. Why don't we use phrases today?

When things didn't go right for me I would say, Oh Good Gravy.

Reap what you sow.
My grandfather used the phrase. She acts like she has a cob up her butt.
Someone was uppity meant they thought they were better than you.
He's so narrow minded he can't see the fly on the tip of his nose.

I have heard almost all of these. Here are a couple more:

"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free."

"He is older than dirt."

Knew an old lady who was as old as her eyes and a little older than her teeth.

How about: "Hop to it and get a red nose" and "Use a little elbow grease".

Riding shotgun (riding in the front passenger seat)
Too dumb to pour pee out of a boot with the directions written on the heel.
