"I smell what you stepped in." When you understand someone.

When describing a dumb person:

If you gave him a penny for his thoughts, you would probably get change back.

If his brain were taxed, he would get a rebate.
 
Used to work with a guy who was extremely religious and never to my knowledge uttered a foul remark. Never heard anyone say this before but he would always say, "Holy snapping chalk lines" whenever something went bad or good. Unique at any rate.

It's comin' a gully washer ( heavy rain)
It's comin' a frog strangler (heavy rain)
Friendly as a roll of barbed wire (somebody that's not nice)
Whatever peels your banana
Whatever cranks your tractor
Whatever floats your boat (All meaning, "each to his own")
Mad as an ol' wet hen
Mean as a snake
Lost as goose (don't know where you are)
Lost as Cooter Brown (referring to someone's spiritual condition)
Lost as ball in high weeds (confused)
Slick as owl doo doo on a door knob
In high cotton (things are going well)
Good Lord willin' and the creeks don't rise (I'll be there if nothing keeps me from it)
Nutty as a fruitcake (somebody that's crazy)
Sugar wouldn't melt in her mouth ( somebody that was nice to you even though you know she hates you)
As long as a month of Sundays
 
Cooter Brown is a name used in metaphors for drunkenness, mostly in the southern United States. Cooter Brown supposedly lived on the Mason-Dixon Line, which divided the North and South during the civil war, making him eligible for military draft by either side. He had family on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line, so he did not want to fight in the war. He decided to get drunk and stay drunk for the duration of the war so that he would be seen as useless for military purposes and would not be drafted. Inebriety has been measured against Cooter Brown's extended binge ever since by use of the metaphors "as drunk as Cooter Brown" or "drunker than Cooter Brown."

There. My research on the fabled Cooter Brown.
