How many of you heard that old saying? My dad use to say that all the time when something was too tight.

And "It's raining cats and dogs" when the rain was real heavy.

How about some other old sayings y'all know.

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

That makes my ass want to dip snuff.

One can short of a six pack.

Don't put the cart before the horse.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

"slicker (or cleaner) than a hounds tooth."

"Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets filled the fastest."

"Couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel."

My all-time favorite: "Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction."

Actually, my favorite derisive colloquialism comes from rural California, "Go s___ in your hat." Gotta be careful to say it only to wheelchair-bound dwarves, however, unless you know how to fight.

PS Cool link, Kevin. Thanks!
