this is Lemmy's finest thread to date
I like the Newfie sayings: "She's tighter than a squall of shit through a tin whistle"
My wife's granny in West Virginia: "I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers"

I also very recommend southern Italian for this. It is comical.
I remember a phrase someone taught me in college, it basically translates to telling someone to go fuck a donkey
"The Man on The Moon couldn't see that!" (Still not sure what this means) "Tighter than a fish's pussy" (Self-explanatory) "I was no more good" (I was shocked and surprised/amused) "Hand me that 'little chicken' over there, would you?" (Little Chicken replaces any and all nouns)
'The man on the moon couldn't see that shit' means the exact opposite of 'Good enough for government work'.
The man on the moon is likely the "face" of the moon (if you try, you can kinda see it). And since the moon has a really good point of view from way up there, if he can't see it, no one can.
i.e. the man on the moon can see all, but not [that]
This is my understanding.
