It's raining like who tied a pup
stay the course
slam dunk
pay the man, shirley
how 'bout dem Cowboys
bees knees
doo whop
hows tricks
the best and brightest
smoke and mirrors
shock and awe

when someone's got a sour face:
like a pitbull chewing a wasp
or
like a pitbull lickin piss off a nettle
as sick as a small hospital
when someone's mean with money:
as tight as a nuns knickers
or
long pockets, short arms
as full as a coot
as nice as pie
hotter than hell
as sweet as a nut
as cool as a cucumber
as odd as two left feet
Live your life the way you want it. Not the way everyone else wants you to. You are who you are. :)
