- A stitch in time saves nine.
As old as Kate Kearney's cat. He'd hang you as high as Guilderoy (?)
"crooked as a ram's horn". "He hopped on it like a cock on a berry". "a cock and bull story". as long as the 'leventh of June. He won't return for a month of Sundays. of a bad shot, "he wouldn't hit a bull in a gap".
Of a person exceptionally lucky at cards "Oh! he went under a two-rooted briar".
Of a short person "He went under a ladder".
Of a hot tempered person "short as a carrot". "Cute as a fox".
The cutest of hens lay out. (when a reputedly wise person does a foolish thing).
Of a very cute person - "he'd drown eels."
"As clean as a whistle". "Straight as the barrel of a gun". "Crooked as a ram's horn". As nimble as a goat. Too sweet to be wholesome". "Cute as an otter". As old as the field at the back of the house.
Bad music was "the tune the old cow died of". As smart as a bee. "Cross as a weasel", "cross as a nettle", "like a wasp". "A face that would blast flax".
"You can't check a snipe for having a long bill."
When a position became vacant it was "A noggin & spoon for someone else". "A face that would turn back a funeral".
He'd steal the cross off an ass. He's as grey as a badger. He'd chew horse nails. He'd steal the sight out of your eye. As hoarse as a crow. As tough as a gad. As sore as the sight of your eye. As proud as a peacock. Not as big as a midge. As cross as a bag of cats.
Of an ill-informed person "One would think he was reared in a kettle looking out in the spout".
