Slick as seal squeezings.
In the service long ago:
"You wouldn't make a pimple on a dimple on a real Marine's ass!" - screamed by my Drill Seargent many times each day.
S.O.S. we have defined before on this thread, but creamed chicken on toast was called, "Puke On The Running Board".
Balogna (on sandwiches)was called "Horse Cock", while Salami was termed "Pony Pecker".

When my mother (the daughter of Danish immigrants) was threatening to spank you but didn't really mean it, she would say, "I'll take you over my checkered apron." Has anyone ever heard that expression?
Also, I am told there's a Spanish proverb that says, " 'Take what you want and pay for it,' says God." Has anyone ever hear anything like that one? No Spanish-speaking person I've asked is familiar with it.

My mother used to use the expression "I'll take you over my checkered apron" in the same way and she was of mixed Germanic descent and from south Mississippi. I don't know where the expression comes from sorry.

Fun and interesting thread. A few more we use around the Philadelphia area:
-don't sh*t where you live
-not the brightest bulb on the tree
-2 cards shy of a full deck
-3 sheets to the wind (inebriated)
-raining cats and dogs
-circling the drain (when someone looks like they're about to die). Also, -death eating crackers.
Hmmmmm.

A legitimate word, but one I haven't heard since I left the South: flibbertigibbet, meaning frivolous.
And now that I'm in the upper midwest, someone who is frivolous, scatter-brained or just can't make up his mind is like "a fart in a windstorm."
