    If he was a lollipop, he'd lick himself
    (someone who thinks very highly of themselves)

    I'd rather be looking at it than looking for it
    (when you're debating taking something with you on the off-chance you might need it)

    If he had brains, he'd be dangerous

    She didn't lick it off a stone (referring to a someone sharing a characteristic with a parent)

    She's about as useful as a chocolate tea pot

    An American that worked on a site i was on a few years ago used to say, it's amazing what a tub of Bondo can do.

    Bondo is a car body filler used to fill out dents and rough areas in America.
    He would be talking about someone that was all make up
