As hard as a cobbler's lopstone.

A face as long as Solomon Samson's sow.

Like a mule at a nettle early in spring.

His e'en twinkled like a farthing rushlight.

Quite young and all alive, like an old maid of forty five.

Hoo howds up her yed like a new bowt tit.

Yo 're puttin y'or yed in dog kennel neaw.

On a bed a mon lee, that favvert he're wavin his last drawn o'life.

I like summat at 's deed ov a knife.

Keep yor heart eawt o' yor clogs.

Stroke with one hand, and strike wit'other.

As drunk as blazes.

A mouse only has one 'ole, n is easily tekken in.

A man might as well eat the Devil, as sup the broth he's boiled in.

We're o' someburys childer.

Owder and th' madder.

She talks about not being clammed.
