    It's the other way around; Pots are typically blacker than kettles, hence the hypocrisy.

    Should be "mad as a bag of cats", as hammers aren't renowned for being all that mad... not even if you have a bag full of them.
    "Face like a bag of hammers" could be what you were aiming for

    /edit
    hehe, this reminded me of the guy from Boondock Saints; "Make like a tree and **** off!"

    Not the Mae West, may need to run to the Gary Glitter for a Barry White.

    Referring to someone who consumes a lot of booze:
    "He would drink piss out of a ****ty nappy"

    Referring to someone who consumes a lot of food:
    "He would eat ****e if you warmed it up for him"

    Spittin' hedgehogs (angry)

    He would get up on a cracked plate

    He/She was goin' like a barn door on a windy night...

    Has nobody noticed this is backwards? It should be the pot calling the kettle black.

    Anyway, my favorite would be

    Sweating like a priest in a primary school. It's wrong on so many levels.
