He's so tight, he'll shit in a bucket of water and skim the tallow off the top to make soap.

He's more nervous than a whore in church.

From college days. These had to do with too much alcohol in too little time:

"Technicolor yawn"

"Calling Ralph on the Big White Phone"

Not certain they are regional, but I never heard these outside the Boston area.

More confused than a hungry baby in a topless bar.

Lost like last years Easter Egg.

Eat up like a soup sandwich.

Hornier than a billy goat with two dicks

Son, you are trying to tree a catfish.

Son, you are deer fishing in a trout pond.

Rode hard and put up wet.

Don't know how regional these are but I heard these from my parents who were from Kentucky;

When trying to help my dad but just getting in his way he'd say "You let Jessie rob this train"

My mom would always say "I'm goin' over town" when she left to run errands

When we were getting ready to work out in the yard or garden my dad would say "Don't forget your hand-shoes" (gloves)

A friend of mine from Vermont used to say "bull and jam" or "he's a bull and jammer" which he said meant , basically, some people don't try to find out why something is immovable or doesn't work, they just push harder or get a bigger hammer.

Regional variations on a couple already posted:

He's so crooked, when he dies they'll have to screw him into the ground.

He's so tight he'd strain a fart for the grease.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.
