  Saw a few there that i haven't heard since my father died.  I think his two favorites were. He doesn't know s--t from shineola and he couldn't pour p--s out of a boot with the directions on the bottom.  He was always telling me i talked like a man with a paper A-- hole.

In baseball, batter hits safely to first, gets thrown out stealing second: "Can't get 'em in the wash, get 'em in the rinse".

My mother-in-law, on deliberately ignoring someone; "I ain't studyin' you".

Super old thread... but I enjoyed reading it and had to post.

1.  "he's so stupid, he couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel"
2.  "he's so stupid, he'd fall in a bucket of tits and come up sucking his thumb"
3.  "he's so stupid, he could !@#$ up an anvil with a rubber mallet"

I'm thinking of a few examples from my favorite TV series, Deadwood, but they're probably not allowed here. Besides... the writer said he didn't duplicate period language used then, because it wouldn't have the effect on a modern audience it had back in the 1870s.


great show, that was....

Your A** sucks buttermilk,

Ya know, I've often heard that...  :-\   Not lately though.  Never could figger out what it meant.   :(   It's not a clear insult like a cowboy telling someone "you smell like a sheep."   ;D

A friend seemed shocked when I used the term "cockeyed". No it means nothing dirty. It refers to something being off kilter or crooked. :)
