of a poor, thin creature
The breath is only just in and out of him, and the grass doesn't know of him walking over it.
|
of a coarse, ill-mannered person using poor language
What would you expect out of a pig but a grunt?
|
on trying to change a stubborn person's mind
You might as well be whistling jigs to a milestone.
|
of very bad music
Aw, that's the tune the old cow died of.
|
of one who overstays their welcome
If that man went to a wedding, he'd stay for the christening.
|
of a talkative person
That man would talk the teeth out of a saw.
|
of a person who paid too much for a cow
He bought every hair in her tail.
|
of a clever thief
He'd steal the sugar out of your punch.
|
in praise of strong whiskey
I felt it like a torchlight procession going down my throat.
|
said of a woman who had made a bad marriage
She burnt her coal and did not warm herself.
|
of bad aim in shooting
He wouldn't hit a hole in a ladder.
|
of an impish child
That one suffers from a double dose of original sin.
|
of an unfortunate one
He is always in the field when luck is on the road.
|
of very wet weather
It's a fine day for young ducks.
|
of someone who always plans carefully
If he's not fishing he's mending his nets.
