"He's got more guts than a government mule". An old time Sgt of mine in the 60's.

"He's not worth the powder it would take to blow him to h***". My first boss at my first real job.

"He must eat gunpowder. He's always shooting off his mouth". High school history teacher attributing it to Harry Truman.

"There's a nip in the air today". The same very politically incorrect high school teacher above attributing the remark to Adm Kimmel on Dec 7th during a regular class. Try that today....

Just a few that I have never forgotten, so they must have made an impression in some way. Good thread.

or in another wording
