SpringfieldFan Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I am sure we all have heard those similes (I guess that's what you call them) people use to stress a point. For example, "finer than frog hair". I love these things so I thought it would be fun to share some. Some I have heard: "funnier than a on-legged man in an a**-kicking contest" "drunker than a cowboy on saturday night" "wilder than eight monkeys with seven bananas" "hotter than a two dollar pistol" And some of my own: "sweeter than a blue-eyed prom queen" "hotter than channel 99 in a 30 dollar motel room" "hotter than Satan's kitchen" "richer than O.J's attorney" "busier than a rabbit on viagra" If you got anymore, I would love to hear 'em.

FlaSoxxJim Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 "Uglier than a sackful of elbows" - I busted a gut laughing so hard when I first heard this one. Elbows are pretty damn ugly, and the thought of a sackful of them makes me laugh "Smells worse than a bag of dead feet" - I like this one for the same reasons as the above. Then there's the not so politically correct: "So cheap, you couldn't get a better deal from a drunken Indian" And one a guy I knew always said that never made sense but he said it anyway: "Cool as a soup sandwich" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to tease my former boss, who is gay that they took all the cool stuff like rainbows, Barry Manilow and "gay", which should mean "fun".
