Country (and Southern) sayings come from...
Southern and Country folk!
And it isn't rehearsed, either.
It just kinda happen like that. So it isn't about remembering all the cool things you ever heard - you just sort of have to be there at the time.
Just today I was talking about the EX with someone, and caught myself saying:
"Ain't too many would be willing to bite into a pickle that sour"
And it's true! That kind of thing just pours out. Like Lynyrd Skynyrd: "Hot as a fox in a forrest fire..."
What are some of Y'alls favorite quotes?

Can't run fast enough to scatter poop.
I bet that truck will twist out the hubs of hell.
Drinkum tequila and peeum flame. (sorry if I misspelled the Indian accent/dialect)
Hotter than a double barrel billy goat.
Wow, I figgured I could rattle off a few hundred of these. I know I use at least that many every day and now I'm drawing a complete blank.

"queerer than a $2 bill"
"slicker than owl poop", Got that from Grandpa....RIP
"looks like 3 monkeys on a football", may not be southern, but it was funny given the circumstances.
"Id like to have a swing like that on my porch" , I'll let ya figure this one out.
Man, all mine are all a little bit crude. sorry, I guess those are the ones I recall easily..

A calm lake or pond: flatter than a platter of warm pee.
Dialog on "Green Acres:"
Mr. Haney to Mrs. Douglas- "well, good mornin' Meesus Douglas. Whay, yur purtier than a red-speckled hen sittin' 'neath a bloo wagun!"
Mr. Douglas, with that LOOK, to Mr. Haney- "What is THAT supposed to mean?!"
Mr. Haney- "oh, nuthin', really. Yoo city folk just expect us country peepul to say things like that..."

Nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Go **** up a rope.
Up poop creek with a turd for a paddle.
Black as the ace of spades.
He took off like his head was on fire and his *$$ was catching.
As useless as **** on a boar hog.

Grinnin' like a cat eating poop. (Sorry.)
Slicker than snot on a doorknob.
Taller than a Georgia Pine.
Dumb enough to be twins.
Dumber than a hay rake.
Smarter than a box of rocks.
More crooked than a dog's hind leg.
What do you call a 400 pounder in Southern Maryland??? Anorexic. (Sorry.)

Rainin' harder then a cow peeing on a flat rock.
Dark as four feet up a coal miners butt.
This one a old neighbor said when he was over here watching a guy all the way up in a pine tree I was having cut down.
He sez, Man, if that guy falls out of that tree, the sparrows will build a nest in his butt before he hits the ground.
They don't only come from the country or the south. We had a bunch up in NY as well, but their not suitable for this forum. I'm sure other parts of the country have their own as well.

I knew an old man that had a saying about everything, unfortunately I forgot most of them. There is one that stuck with me for some reason, we would be in the middle on something, and out of nowhere he would say, You know what I think? What? I would say. Then he said, I think a sack of flour would make one big biscuit.
