- Old SayingsShe didn't take it off the wind.
It fits you like breeches on a cat.
You could herd weasels at a cross-roads.
The lazy man's load.
He could build nests in your ears.
A wise man never saw a dead man.
Put your foot on that.
Put a nick in the post.
She could live on the smell of an oil-rag.
As long as a late breakfast.
He is working since a yard of cloth made a coat for him.
She came with her two hands the same length.
It would perish the crows.
He drinks like a fish.
He would steal the cross off an asse's back.
