[Moral Minority]

Cause we all know that they are much better than words.

My favourite is 'The shit has hit the fan.' I have not heard of a more descriptive and vivid idiom than this.

"Does me as much good as a sack full of assholes, kid."

Awesome.

from the Ozarks -

fine as a frog's hair

scarce as flea's tallow
