Slicker'n snot

Cut like a hot knife in butter

My dad would see a really 'leggy' woman and say, "Her legs go all the way to the floor"

He was bald and he would say, "God only made so many perfect heads, the rest he put hair on"

I used to work with a guy who went even farther with the frog hair one and I never heard anyone else ever say it?
"Finer than frog hair, split three ways then hammered flat."

I was also reminded of one yesterday at work that I hadn't heard in years.

"He's like a blister, shows up after the work is done."
