Lots of Freepers Are Dumber Than a Box of Hair (can you folks help me on this?)

Fat chicks with big hair stand out like an elephant at a flamingo farm.

I didn't know that till I read it here. I read this here, too, in response to someone who was making too fine a point on something: My, my, picking pepper out of flyshit, aren't we?

What are the coolest expressions you know? The greatest folksy putdowns? The wish-I'd'a-said-that comebacks. The most colorful damned American ways of saying things?

Care to share? I would very much like to liven up my smartmouth. Thank you, folks.

And for those of you who got nothin'...please refer back to the title. Just kidding: I heard that on FR too.

From Our First Sergeant:

"Dammit Boy, you uniform looks like a windshield on a hot Georgia night!"

[mother22wife21]

Nothing to offer, but will check back. Should be some great taglines out of this.

[John Robertson]

Good one, Sarge.

As my daddy always says, you can cut bait or fish...

[JarheadFromFlorida]

My old First Sergeant used to say..."Boy, if you had brains, your whole family would be down here fightin for 'em" :)

Speaking of put-downs and hair, when I was a teenager, my dad used to say to me "You look like you combed your hair with a wagon wheel."

Never understood that one, nor have I ever heard it anywhere else. Ah, dadisms... :)

[AZ_Cowboy]

Quite a headline. You've got to watch that kind of thing, but I can handle it just fine.

Heard at the shooting range locally:
"Liberals around here are rarer than an Evangelical in a Gay bar!"

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

When one is faced with a nearly impossible situation:

"Like trying to eat a soup sandwich."

or

"Just like nailing jello to a tree."

[Erasmus]

"Listen. I don't have time to wait around for your brainstem to bud."

[hole_n_one]

The deepest cut of all....

Todd, is that you?

Porch lights on but no one's home.
Few fries short of a Happy Meal.
The elevator doesn't go to the top floor.

My dad told me "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken $hit!"

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

I've heard some funny ones.

1. Are you stuck on stupid?
2. Don't let your alligator mouth override you butterfly a$$.
3. 2Sheets-Teddy sounds like an a$$ whistle. (I love this one)

[Bombardier]

I'd say that finding an excuse to use this expression would make me clumsier than a hippo in heat on roller skates with a trick knee.....and I'd be dumber than a footlocker full of rocks to try to use it! And you know my boots would look like I shined them with a brick and a Hershey bar if I did....

And you know that if I use these expressions I've probably been around since Julius Caesar was a road guard!

[Blood of Tyrants]

When someone tells me to kiss their @$$ I say, "Pick a spot. You're all @$$ except your eyes and they are two pi$$ bubbles."

[Sloth]

I don't mean to be condescending (that means talking down to you)...

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

""Listen. I don't have time to wait around for your brainstem to bud.""

OMG, now that's funny!
