I need more folksy expressions for expressing frustration, what are your faves?

everything I got is Ozark mountain man, inscrutable immigrant reference that only makes sense in the old country, or garbles of the two crossing wires (my father assimilated as a redneck, it rules)

he’s been a massive asshole to bigger dogs lately—for no obvious reason that I can identify: not attacked, not freaked out, no toys stolen—so I’m doubling down on training and playing tug before we go on a walk so that he’s already tired and less reactive

before getting a dog I hardly ever had beef jerky in my pocket

now having a dog there’s a stick of beef jerky in my pocket at least half of the time

I break off tiny bits to train the lil butthead and it’s gotta to the point where just putting my hand in my pocket will get his attention

crooked nose = rakish good looks, or at least that’s what I tell myself

one of my nose breaks involved having about a pound of gravel embedded in my face and I’m just glad that retinol and lotion healed up those scars pretty good

Johnny was many things but bureaucratic systems schemer was not among his best talents

I figure at this point that the whole edifice of federal & state R&D in higher ed gonna have to be rebuilt, so might as well do what we can to get away from paper mills and exploding overhead while we’re at it

What I'm listening to today: "jazz jungle mix at Japanese rice field", Takuya Nakamura

The composer of Virtua Fighter and Lumines goes out in an actual rice field with a Pioneer deck and trumpet and spins D&B with occasional trumpet solos. Unbelievably charming
