oh oh oh

grinning like a drunk monkey

Dirty ones, eh?

dead heat in a Zeppelin race (said of a woman with large breasts)

crimp off a length
drop the kids off at the pool
going to see a man about a dog
doing your duty (all said of evacuating one's bowels)

slicker than deer guts on a doorknob
slicker than cum on a gold tooth

oh god that was a huge laugh for me. i'm definitely going to surprise the ol' spouse with this one. unfortunately there's no one around to comment on for the moment, so as of right now the expression is more useless than hen shit on a pump handle.

as the actress said to the bishop
making the beast with two backs
camp as a row of pink tents

bête comme ses pieds - dumb as his feet

il n'a pas inventé le fil à couper le beurre - he did not invent the butter cutting string, which means he is not a genius. The butter cutting string (used to be) a very basic element of the french kitchen.

ça ne casse pas trois pattes à un canard - It doesn't break three legs on a duck, which means it's not really that exciting. If it did it break three legs to a duck it would mean that a three legged duck was involved and that would be significantly more exciting.

j'étais comme deux ronds de flan - means "i was flabbergasted", literally "I was like two servings of flan pudding"

my favorite Douglas Adamsishness:

as gay as a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide

keeping quiet as the scabby hog in the wheat - clam up

rejoices like the monkey over its tail* (*meaning the actual tail as well as the male sexual organ) - extremely happy about a trivial thing

Reading the ones from other languages is always more fun. This one reminds me of more fun than killin' baby ducks with a ball peen hammer.

Which for the record I would never, ever do. But it's still funny.

screw ups:

when someone totally messes up a task beyond repair, "he screwed the pooch."

when someone is so stupid that he can fail at even the simplest task, "he could screw up a two car funeral."

when someone is so stupid that he can't figure out the simplest details, "he couldn't find his way out of a paper bag with both hands and a roadmap."
alternately, "he couldn't find his ass with both hands and a roadmap."
alternately, "he doesn't know his ass from his ebow."

two Hungarian expressions for moving aimlessly:

maundering like stork shit in the air
gadding like a cockchafer* on a beggar's cOck

*a kind of large European beetle
