Said of someone mean - Wouldn't give you the snot of their hanky.

Stop picking fer crows - Take your finger down your nose.

Deaf as a door post.

Common as muck.

So sharp they'll cut themself.

Feel like a washed out rag - not feeling very perky.

Like a dog with two dicks - An excedingly happy person. Perhaps someone who'd won a lot of money at do's.

Whilst "favour him/her etc" may have meant "looks like - Margaret Pilkington" it also meant "prefer or "to lean towards someone".

I've heard it mean both things, but more commonly favvers meant looks like where I came from.
