After we finished washing a car, my Father in Law remarked that it was "Shining like a dime in a goat's ass!".

More slippery than a minnow's dick.

When referring to something very heavy...
"Careful boy, that thing's got a lot of gravity in it!"

And when referring to poor, rocky ground. My Dad would say...
"The only thing that land is good for is to stop a hole in the ground."

And often heard from a former male co-worker...
"That beats anything I ever pulled my skirt up to"

Madder than a wet hen.

Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Couple have already mentioned our ubiquitous New England "wicked".

"Whereabouts are you?" for FTF deals is another.

 
"Take and" do something, such as "take and cut this board" or "take and go to the store".
 

My father used to say Its going to be a bad day at Black Rock. You knew you were in trouble then.

Its raining wet sun shine.

A few others...

"Can't find his ass with both hands."

Referring to someone's intelligence; "softer than a sneaker full of shit."

When someone is being stubborn/mulish/cognitively impaired; "you're being thick."

And from my father, who is a living example of the breed...

"You can always tell an Englishman, but you can't tell him much."

Drunker than a hundred Indians.

Shaking like a dog shittin' peach stones.

Sweating like a whore in church.

Yinz.

Plural for a group. Are "yinz" going to church? Are "yinz" going to the game?

Pittsburghese...

My mother in law when my kids were infants you to exclaim "You're such a pistol," when talking to them.

Originally posted by mark123uring the earlier days of the internets for me, 1994 or so, I saw "uff da" or "unf da" but I never heard it spoken aloud and I surely have no idea what it means.

Uff Da is the typical spelling. It's probably Scandinavian in origin, but I don't think it is a real word in any language.

It's usually a response to someone who has just told you about a nasty predicament which may or may not involve the speaker or listener directly(but often does). It is a socially acceptable way for everyone from ladies in the church basement to the town mayor to say: "How in the flyin' fuck do you expect to fix that?" The meaning is understood and no one is offended.

Not sure what region I picked it up in, but "shittin' pink twinkies".

"See the look on 'ol boy's face? He was shittin' pink twinkies".

Rainin like a cow pissin on a flat rock

That dog won't hunt

Which has nothing to do with a dog.

You're more useless than tits on a bull.

Something my uncle(RIP) used to say when he was leaving - "I'm off like a velcro prom dress."

Heard occasionally around here in 'Pennsyltucky'. . .

"You're noth'n but a heevahava!"

"Throw the cow over the fence some hay now." (must be said in a PA Dutch farmer dialect drawl)
