As we go through life we frequently encounter people military/civilian who........uhhhh.......how shall I say it....don't quite measure up to our standards, whatever those are, and we have expressions to politely refer to their shortcomings.
Now, I know there are many more of these euphemisms and I thought it might be productive to catalog them here on this forum.
Possibly to be used for future reference.
Any more?
1.)As useless as a screen door in a submarine.
2.)Dumber than a box of rocks
3.)His driveway doesn't go all the way to the garage
4.)Couple sandwiches short of a picnic
5.)Ain't got all his shingles nailed down
6.)She's got a firm grip on the steering wheel but the battery is dead.
7.) He's fishing' with a empty hook
8.) Dumber than dirt.
9.) Doesn't have the sense that God gave a goose.
10.) Dumber than a coal bucket.
11.) Not the brightest penny in the fountain.
12.) A few French fries short of a Happy Meal.
13.) His watermelon doesn't thump.
:evilgrin:
