I knew an older man that used to say someone was "madder than a pole cat". I never could get him to explain to me what a pole-cat is.

Pole cat is a skunk.

Now I had problems with pokesalat. Took me a while to realize Granny Eula May was talking about a salad made from Poke weed or Polk weed which had to be cooked a certain way or you'd be pawzined (poisoned).

If ifs' and buts' were candy and nuts, everyday would be Christmas
He looks like he's been rode hard and put up wet
That dog won't hunt
She's about as useful as buttons on a dishrag
He's nuttier than a squirrel turd

" .......that sure laid a craving on me"

Oh I almost forgot--"-That girl's so tough, she could suck start a Harley"

My grandmother use to say "or I'll knock the stuffin' outta your ears"

Like, get in this house or I'll knock the stuffin' outta your ears

And my grandfathers favorite was

"worthless as teats on a bore hawg"

 

[Yard full o' rocks]

....and if something is really good its

"gooder 'en grits"

(translation....better than grits)
