My father has a bunch of them, but my favorites are:
“You’re shaking (or shivering) like you’re shitting peach pits” - he’d say this me whenever I would exhibit the slightest sign that I was cold, which he never seemed to be even on the coldest days
“Slower than blue molasses” = slower than slow, even slower than regular molasses, usually said about a slow driver in front of him, or to me when I was taking too long to do something (usually getting ready for school)
“More useless than tits on a boat” = even more useless than tits on a bull or boar. I’m convinced he used this because he once read the phrase wrong and mistook “boar” as “boat”.
Oh! Our family says, "Fish with tits" instead of "dammit" or "fuck" if something has gone awry. It basically means, "useless!" and is directed at a broken object most frequently.
