When you corner somebody in an argument they talk a lot defensively. Here's a saying that goes with it:

A stuck pig always hollers

Got any good ones?

I always heard it as "even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while". But my favorite is "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Don't argue with fools people may not know who is the sane one.
I use this one everytime I end up argueing with a liberal. Once I get into the arguement and they start trying to change the subject or go into attack mode... I tell my self this out loud of course and simply walk away.
"BRIAN, you know not to argue with fools other people watching will not tell who is who"

A friend of mine gave me a pearl of wisdom when I got out of school and went to work at a big company.......In response to several of the girls at work hitting on me........."Don't sh-- where you eat". that piece of advice has worked well over the years especiallly when I see others that have not followed that advice get in worlds of trouble.

That boy's IQ is lower than the octane rating of wet cement.
Ain't got the sense God give a goose.
Uglier than a mud fence.
Uglier than homemade soap.
If you took your brains and shoved them up a gnat's ___ they would rattle like a BB in a boxcar.
Wrong as two boys kissin.

'It is what it is'

used when little or nothing can be done about a situation.

'That don't confront me, long as I get my money next Friday.'

A line from the song One Bourbon, one scotch, one beer by George Thorogood. Used to express ones lack of compassion regarding an others personal problems.

'He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer' or 'He's not the sharpest tool in the shed'

'He's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.'

'If brains was dynamite he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose'

All commentaries on someones intellect (or lack there of).

'If wishes were horses beggars would ride'

'Your big enough that your wants wont hurt you'

used on children (or udults acting like children) who are constantly going around saying "I wish this, or I wish that" and "I want ____ , I want_____."

I had a boss that used to say
" if you put whipped cream on dog poop it still does not make it desert" Charlie Boland of Boland Marine
When refering to fixing up a peice of crap boat to make it something it was not.
I have used it a few times.
When Dee made his comment it reminded me of Charlie's saying.

It would not matter where we where or who was a fault my father would turn to me and say in his loud in his gruff smoking voice
“son, there is only one cure for stupidly...”
give the person that was at fault a good long stare then exhale like his was 50% fed up and 50% disappointed.

You gota love my old man, he was a people person.
