Nuttier than squirrel shite.
Harder than Chinese long division.
Ugly as homemade soap (I've never seen homemade soap, I guess it's ugly).

My parents and grandparents came from the old country. When anyone pissed off my maternal grandfather he would say "'O u gambbe di puttana", which in Napolitano means "You come from between the legs of a whore."

“Slow as Christmas” was a favorite in my Mom’s family. My Dad commented by way of intellectual elaboration “the closer Christmas got, the slower it moved.” To a kid that was true or seemed so.
My Dad’s family frequently commented on clear cool Fall days, “You couldn’t find a cloud with a search warrant.”

If a job is begun,
Never leave it till it’s done,
Be the job great or small,
Do it well or not at all.
Grandmother
If you can’t make a dollar, make a dime.
There is always a ditch to be dug somewhere
Don’t be a bum. Buy your own cigarettes.

"pushin' rope would be easier than......"

My FIL would wear out “that sum bitch is as worthless as tits on a boar”, but if he took a shine to you he’d offer you his third finger for free. As in Joe over there is such a good man “I’d give him a third finger for free” (Re:Bourbon)
