you're up and down that stairs like a hoor's knickers.

It doesn't have "as" in it but it makes me laugh.

That makes perfect sense given squirrels stereotypically eat nuts.

Also - 'Odd as a bottle of chips' - that makes sense too, your describing something as being odd by comparing it to something that would be odd, if such a thing existed.

As mad as a bag of spiders

dutchcat · 17-08-2009 02:42AM

as drunk as a skunk or stone hatchet mad

Tom1991 · 17-08-2009 02:47AM

mad as a bag of cats springs to mind

Well if this thread has shown anything it's that bags of various things are pretty mad.

Edit: Oh and just heard this one recently - as useless as a fiddler's fart.

Apparently fiddlers have particularly useless farts.
