Tough enough to give a rattle snake the first bite.

Beggars can't be choosers.

It’s the man that’s the cowboy, not the outfit

Never drink unless you’re alone or with somebody.

The bigger the mouth, the better it looks when it’s shut.

Below is a Carnation Milk contest winner. They had to finish a ditty that started with Carnation Milk is the best in the Land: but they couldn't use the best entry in their advertisement, so it only got honorable mention.

Carnation Milk is the best in the land
Comes to the table in a little red can.
No tits to pull, no hay to pitch,
Just punch a hole in the son of a b***h.

Look up Southern Sayings on google. I use them for Civil War/Old South in my college classes. One example:
She's so ugly she'd scare a dog off a meat wagon...

 

[truckinbutch]

She's so ugly she could cause a freight train to take a dirt road .
She's purty enuff to make a puppy pull a freight train .
I could retire a wealthy man if I could buy that boy for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth .

" ohhh, Jimmy crack corn " aka I'll be darned.... Started saying it as an Inside joke with myself when the kids would do, as kids do.... A 2 inch jump and be like" mommy, look what I can do!"
It was like a dork response to a lame trick where I had to feign excitement ... Lol.. But now I say it all the time.
" he/she looks like a smacked a**"
I have a weird way of talking.... I think in pictures in my head.. So everything I say comes out that way too. Hard to explain, you'd have to know me. Whatever it is I speak like people always assume I'm southern... I'm not.

That big ole tough guy squalled like a mashed cat .

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
All's fair in love and war.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Your reputation precedes you.
Not what we give, but what we share, for the gift without the giver is bare. : from the vision of Sr. Lansfall

Water water everywhere, but all the boards did shrink.
Water water everywhere nor any drop to drink. : from the Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner.
