Colloquialisms your Dad used to use...or still uses

Thought this might be fun. :grin:

Here’s a few from my dear old Dad, so you get the gist.

You’re as awkward as a bag full of monkeys.

Don’t be like a bull at a gate!

You’re as silly as a two bob watch.

Is hit the frog and toad a colloquialism or rhyming slang?

When I was a teenager, my gf would come over after school to do homework, after she would go home for the night my dad would walk past my room and say:

“What smells like sweat and regret?”

It wasn’t a colloquialism. But it was awkward.
