He eats like a pig
Fresh as a daisy
Tough like leather
Happy as the day is long
Pretty as a picture
Blind as a bat
Busy as a bee
Cold as ice
Cute as a button
Clear as a bell
|
Quick as a flash
Easy as pie
Quiet as a mouse
Free as a bird
Good as gold
Hard as a brick
Light as a feather
Explosive as a volcano
Fast as the wind
Happy as a pig in mud
|
Sly as a fox
Plain as day
Loyal as a dog
Sick as a dog
Dumb as a doorknob
Happy as a clam
Larger than life
Smooth as silk
Strong as an ox
Fast as lightning
