May have heard it many times- know what it means
 

In a different, yet related thread.

"Colder than a witch's freezer."

"Rarer than rocking horse manure." (edited from chair to horse)

"Nervous as a long-tailed cat in a rocking chair factory."

"Room temperature IQ."

"The lights are on, but nobody's home."

"Like a unicorn in a haystack."




That's all of them, I think...

My favorite: “went 5hit and the hogs ate him.”

It’s a response to “where is _____?”

Supposed to be from Indiana.

"Colder than a witch's titty ... in a brass bra (for extra added emphasis)"

Since I was a teen .... been looking for 'em ever since :D

".... well bless her (or his) heart".

Not how I've heard it, KC has it how I've always heard it.

never heard them

Never heard them, but pretty obvious what it means.

Sure, pretty common

"Son, you're as worthless as tits on a boar"

gee thanks Dad, still remember that one 50 years later.

I believe the expression is “useless as tits on a bull”.

I believe what we have here is a regional colloquialism. I've even heard 'tits on a trout'
but I think that was just a play for alliteration.

Hotter than the hinges of he11

Slicker than snot on a brass door knob

Shines like a diamond in a goat's butt.

Tits on a boar hog.

Cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey.

Ran like a turpentine'd cat

Not my circus, not my monkey. (Not my problem)

The "colder than a witches tit" is not a reference to a breast. I read an interesting report on that saying. In the days of the Salem witch trials if someone had a tumor or growth on an arm or face, it often had restricted blood flow, and felt cold to the touch. The people believed it was caused by being touched by a witch, and it was an evil sign of impending death. Since it was caused by the witch, it was a witches tit.

Colder that a well digger's ass is kinda obvious and need no explanation.

"Who pissed in your Post Toasties?"

is a real thing

at a certain temp the brass plate [call a monkey]
that holds cannon balls in a pile shrinks
and the balls fall to roll around the deck
not a good thing for sailors

Colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra at the bottom of a well.

Tighter than Dick's hatband.

Useless as tits on a bore hog.

Couldn't pour piss out of a boot with an arrow marked on the heel.

And my all time favorite: Harder than putting panty hose on a bobcat in a phone booth.

These comments are fine as frog's hair.

Though the origins of this saying are controversial, it is related to military artillery. A brass monkey is the tray that was used to store cannon shot, or "ball" in a battery. Since the ball were iron and the tray (monkey) brass, the coefficient of expansion would allegedly cause the pyramid of ball to topple. Sooo, the proper term would be "cold enough to freeze the "ball" off a brass monkey".
