All mouth and no trousers.

A tinny short of a six pack.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Hi every one here's some from aussie

a few kangaroos jumping around the top paddock
as bright as a dead glow worm
straight through to the keeper
lights on but no ones home
a stubby short of a six pack

Errol, it just came to me - are these in fact similes? (Are euphemisms when you say things like "he was killed by friendly fire" rather than "he was shot by someone on his own side", for instance?)
