70boss,gudday ,Here's a few funny terms from Oz, As useless as a hip pocket in a pair of underpants, as tight as a goose's gearbox, wouldn't sweat in a pressure cooker, wouldn't work in an iron lung, thicker than cold molasses in winter, as thick as two short planks, several sausages short on the b.b.q. someone left the gate open in the top paddock, up s##t creek in a barbed wire canoe spearing tadpoles with a crowbar, if brains were dynamite he wouldn't have enough to blow up a rice bubble, left behind the door when brains were given out, that,s all I can think of at the moment Kerry.

Full of s%$t as a Christmas goose. (liar)
Lies like a rug. (also a liar)
Between you, me and the fence post. (secret)
Takes two men and a boy. (move a heavy load).
Shove it into Grandma and Grind on. (low gear, low range, climbing a hill).
Meaner than a rattlesnake and just as patient.
Colder'n a brass monkey's ...

Hi ya
there is a term
freeze the balls off a brass monkey
now someone may T/F the saying come from the navy (way way back) the brass monkey was a triangle (like ya use for pool) that held the canion balls from rolling around on the deck but in cold the brass would shrink letting the canion balls jump out of the tri
hence "don't go to the ice as it will freeze the balls off a brass monkey!!!"
catch ya

(for no...) Does a snake have armpits?

(he's so dumb...) He couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel.

I saw a sign over a bar that read "Our patrons arrive optimistically and leave misty-optically." Brilliant.

On two or three mutually exclusive instances, coincidentaly, all from Montana yarn-spinning sessions in bars or hunting trips...I heard the exact same expression casually used to flesh-out
the description of something unique in the raw essence of COMPLETELY UNRELATED furbizoids or hominids!!?? Seems the genus, size, cosmic position,ETC. could bear the weight of this expression without losing their place in the food-chain continuum....OK...OK...here it is!
"...shiny'er than a dime in a goat's ass." ???!!

Please anyone in TBN-land, pierce the void for me so I may enjoy a Happy Death some time in the general region of God's Plan............" ...goat's ass???...shiny dimes???
A feller should know what he might be alluding to...gotta be sure he's not drawing fire for trying to pepper casual Montana banter with well-intentioned colloquialisms...only to discover he's challanged everyone's DNA validity.
Actually it's kinduva neat word-picture.
Hope it's not one of those annoying 'trigger' expresions
that relates to crimes against humanity.............
