I tried to find a good story, but apparently, it's just a euphemism for "H-E-double hockey stick."

Man, he's cuttin' a rug... (He's dancing really well.)

He's cuttin' up (He's misbehavin'.)

He's cuttin' a shine. (He's throwing a fit...not happy.)

There were more of them than you could shake a stick at. (A lot of them.)

He went down to the crick. (Stream, creek...)

It's raining cats and dogs. (A downpour.)

It's a frog strangler. (A downpour.)

He's happy as a pig in slop. (Very happy...)

Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then. (Lucky)

I say that all the time.

Here is one I have not seen:

"I had ruther be whooped with a wet squirrel!" - indicates you do not want to do something. Sometimes the variant "I had rather be whooped upside the head witha wet squirrel." Is heard in Henderson county.
