IDIOMS

 

[dschwandt]

I got an IDIOM that lives across the street. Every week he hauls his little 3 or 4 year old kid around on his , gulp, green lawn mower while mowing!!! Sends shivers up and down my spine every time I see people doing that.

As nervous as a hooker in church.....
Thinner than a hammered red nose hair.....
Finer than a frog hair split four ways....
As good looking as a Cub Cadet 129.... (grin)
Colder than a Northern Minnesota spring..... (heh)

Nice Gerry. About hairs..when I started repairing mechanical equipment the tech I paired up with described fine tolerances as various hair thicknesses...needless to say, they weren't nose hairs !

Years ago in electronics we had a saying;

That's the neatest (coolest) thing since sliced bread.

Fine as wine.

It's amazing what types of threads will take off here on the forum while others start and stop with one post.

Six of one, half dozen of another.

As busy as a one-armed paper hanger.
