Not the brightest bulb on the tree.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Useless as tits on a bull.

Stuck on stupid.

Doesn't have all his cornflakes in one box.

Elevator doesn't quiet make it to the top floor.

A few bricks short of a load.

As bright as a sack of hammers.

Dumb as a rock.

Not proverbial, but very trendy in genetic circles:

Got an old fashioned HAR1F.

The toys in his attic are broken.

He was standing behind the door when the brains were passed out.

roger, yep, like "all paint and no engine"


dadpad-In theAppalachians "ang" is only ginseng. I could find my definition as "one who harvests wild ginseng for market".I did not find it as an alternate for "sandwich". Is that a local term?
