Time to share your more colorful sayings and witty words of wisdom...
"... not the brightest bulb in the chandelier..."

"... so stupid that he couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the directions were on the heel..."

And stuff like that.

Come, share with us, and let us all laugh. Everyone's invited to play.

2. It's not mine, it's Dorothy Parker's : "You can lead a whore to culture..
but you can't make her think"...when Ms. Parker was asked to use the word "horticulture" in a sentence.

They're words I've lived by, anyway. :-)

6. You got all day?
I am from Texas after all and we got a zillion of them.

My personal favorite is one I made up though..."He ain't the brightest lightening bug in the swarm." :)

Or there's my Dad's two mottos:
"If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'" and "Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat."

11. He's got a dogs attitude - If you can't eat it or fuck it, piss on it.

One of my favourites comes from Crowsnest pass Alberta. When describing a fight or a heated incident, you sum it all up with "A lot of people were yelling stuff" then trail off....

16. "____________ can lick my nuts."
Meant in a "figurative" or "metaphorical way, said typically when someone says something I disagree with or otherwise annoys me. For example:

FRIEND: Condoleeza Rice said that the smoking gun will come in the form of a mushroom cloud.
ME: Condoleeza Rice can lick my nuts.

21. "Well Slap Mah face and Hush Mah Mouth!"
That one is for when something surprises me. The same with, "Well dip me in shit and hang me out to dry!" I usually say those two with an exagerrated Texas accent.

I have one I made up and find myself using more and more as the election draws near. "Stupidity should never be free! If you are gonna be stupid, it should cost you."

When frustrated and overwhelmed, "This is like hearding cats!"

When something works out just okay, but not as good as I wanted it to, "Well, at least it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick."

To describe a dumbass, "He does not have all his dogs barking at once."
