Buzz words...
Yeah, this thread is for things people will say when they're getting a little buzz going.
Best one I've heard recently:
From a young guy at work, after he and his buds had got into some high-grade illicit moonshine over the weekend- "We was on a rocketship to f'ed-up land!!"
Keep 'em coming...

That fits into "country aphorisms," which can describe about anything. I've heard speed described in the terms of a raped ape and a scalded dog, progress described akin to the hammers of hell, heat compared to the hinges of hell, cold compared to a missed anniversary, vibration of a nature similar to a football player on prom night, stupidity likened to a pile of rocks, and many others.

Heh. My Granddaddy Buckner used to scold his field hands who were pulling tobacco leaves before they were fully ripe. He'd tell 'em "you couldn't cure that 'backer in hell with the blowers on!" 'Course he always managed to cure a beautiful barn of tobacco...
Cap'n Alfred had a whole lot of hilarious sayings, and the more of his homemade hooch (he called it "high-john") he drank, the funnier they got. Often ended up with my Granny B saying "Alf, hush."

"Face like a wet weekend" or "Face like a slapped ****", also "lost a pound and found a penny" for anyone looking unhappy.
"Came from the shallow end of the gene pool", "The lights are on but nobody's home" need no explanation.
This may be an Urban Myth but someone was asked to give a reference for a particularly lazy apprentice, so he wrote "If you get this young man to work for you, you will indeed be fortunate".

She's really gone down hill.
Her a$$ looks like a sack full of door *****.
I used to play a lot of pool.
When a guy missed an easy shot, we'd always say,
"Hell, Ray Charles coulda made that one."
When something happens that was obviously foreseeable, we say,
"It didn't take Nostradamus to see that coming".
If I felt any better, my heart couldn't take it.
When asked how he'd been feeling, comedian Steven Wright said,
"Well, you know how you feel when you lean back too far
on the back legs of a chair and you think you're gonna fall?
Well, that's how I feel ALL the time.
