I found these quite good:

    A full mouth big enough to seat a family of six
    A laughter that sounds like someone smashing up several industrial-sized conservatories
    A yodelly yawn
    Don't be an old stick in the mud: old-fashioned
    Her face has more lifts than the Empire State Building (this one is a bit irreverent, sorry)
    I almost jumped a foot in the air with shock
    I feel as though I were using a sword agains cobwebs
    I have to keep my mouth shut and burn holes in the lining of my stomach
    It isn't merely the mother of all hangovers she has. It's the mother-in-law
    It was the black fruit-gum of the packet
    Listening with his ears out on stalks
    My brain went into screensaver mode
    To be as snug as a bug in a rug

When my father explained that he was surprised about something, he used to day, "I pretty near dropped my teeth!"

He said this long before he even had false teeth.
