"More fun than a barrel of monkeys" -- seems to me that just about anything is more fun than that. They're either dead, which is just gross, or they're alive, which is creepy.
Also got schooled recently on the "spittin image" term. It's not spitting image, it's a contraction of spirit and image. "That girl is the spirit and image of her mother," means the two are alike in both appearance and action. What about various fuck-related curses? Are they just ways of using the word creatively, or do they mean something? "I don't give a flying fuck", "well fuck me running", "fuckin-A". Like, WTF do they mean? Oh yeah. My mom had a good one -- "Well, you look like the morning after the night before." Hangover euphemism. Funnier if it's said with a particular inflection.
