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.

my mom would call us kids "grace" if we broke anything. Were you born in a barn

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.

Oh, for Pete's sake! (Who was Pete?)
Colder than a well digger's ass
Time to get the hell out of Dodge!
Let's blow this place (leave)
