    "Useless as tits on a cookstove"

    "Since Christ was a carpenter"

    And one I’ve used here, more than once:

    "...could fuck up a wet dream". (eg. On the new P210: "Sig could fuck up a wet dream")
    ”But in the end all of these ideas just manufacture new criminals when the problem isn't a lack of criminals.” -JRB

    "That's all she wrote" - It's done. It can mean completed correctly or FUBAR'd such that there's no point in continuing.

    My Dad used this, always in the FUBAR'd context. Being a kid, I thought "she wrote" was a one word description for FUBAR'd. I figure I'd have spelled it "shrote". My timing chain broke and now my engine is "all shrote". It wasn't until years later that I got it.

    Guy Fierri often uses this on his triple D food show....in the positive context. He'll take a bite of some food, swoon with culinary pleasure, and say "that's all she wrote". It always makes me chuckle, as I have dad's version stuck in my head. Ha! Guy is telling this chef that his soufflé is FUBAR.

    When I worked in an equipment rental yard, our grizzled old mechanic used to tell folks, as he was explaining how to operate a piece of equipment: "If you don't know what lever A does... Leave'er B!"

    Mother used to have one for when she was really surprised or shocked:

    “I nearly shit and fell back in it.”

    Great grandfather used to yell “Well shit fire!” when he was exasperated with something.

    Oh, I used that one pretty recently in the long version. "That son of a bitch would climb a tree to tell a lie when he could stand on the ground and tell the truth."

    "All assholes and elbows" - a group running in haste
    " xxx went asshole over appetite" - to take a bad fall
    "Shiny as a diamonds in a goat's ass"
    "Fine as frog's hair"
    "Rarer then hen's teeth"

    Oh, and a tack on that's sort of a call and response:

    Person 1: An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    Person 2: It'll keep anybody away if you huck'em hard enough (throw them hard enough)
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    Here's a few from cajun country, some funny to outsiders, some just interesting.

    Ya'll get down (from the car.) An invitation to get out of the car and stay a while. Get down is probably a hold over from horse and buggy days.
    He "took" the ditch. He ran off of the road in his car.
    He "caught" a heart attack. I "caught" a flat (tire). Being on the receiving end of a misfortune.
    I'm going to make groceries. Going grocery shopping.
    Did you save the groceries? Putting the groceries away when you return home.
