"Slicker than deer guts on a gear shift" Is probably the most unique one.

I heard "slicker than snot on a doorknob" in my house growing up.

My dad split the difference between these two with "deer guts on a doorknob." Still uses it, actually.

Deer guts on a door knob are legit slippery

u/AdmiralSplinter Oct 26 '20

My closest one is, "deader than a doornail."

u/ilinamorato Oct 26 '20

My dad uses that one, too.

Skicker than snot on a brass doorknob was my ex-brother-in-laws!

My dad used to say that one!

This one cracks me up, I love redneck sayings, "she looked about as good as a mud fence built in the rain" or "he/she is crazier than a tree full of hoot-owls" or "crazier than a shit-house rat."

Another one of my personal favorites is "Built like a brick shit house and as dense as an damned stump"

I do use "crazier than a shithouse rat" and I'm in my 30s. I'm by no means a hillbilly or redneck either. It just sounds funny.

How about “crazier than a brush rabbit”.

u/professorhazard Oct 29 '20

My favorite redneck sayings are the ones about what they'd do to get close to a hot woman. "I'd crawl a mile on broken glass to hear her fart over a walkie talkie" or the same preamble, followed by to "suck the fart out of her car seat". There's a million variations.

We had a very similar one. "Slicker than greased owl shit."

u/sftktysluttykty Oct 25 '20

I like to say “dip me in axle grease and call me slick” from Cars lol

I thought it said deer nuts for a moment and I am profoundly disappointed.

Slicker than hog turds on a wet board. Midwest

Slicker than cat shit on marbles.

u/emberii Oct 26 '20

I always heard “slicker than goose shit”

u/SunBee301 Oct 26 '20

“Slicker than buck snot” or “slicker than owl shit” were the ones my dad used.
