It's not worth a farthing.
It's not worth a rush.
It's not worth a pin.
It's not three halfpence. Its not worth three halfpence.
It's not worth a spit.
It's not worth a shilling.
It's not worth a chew of tobacco.
"As mean as "lay" in a bottle."
As rough as they're making them.
As fit as a fiddle.
As lazy as sin.
As lazy as auld Nick.
As cute as a pet fox.
As knowing as a fox.
He could herd rats at a crossroads.
As auld as Mithusalch.
As black as the Earl of Kells waiscoat
As buisy as a nailer.
As auld as black Nick
As white as snow.
As white as a hounds tooth.

As clean as a new pin
As auld as "tay".
As crooked as a ram's horn.
As quiet as a mouse.(continues on next page)
