Sometimes, it's just like pulling out a$$ hairs. Time consuming and slightly painful.

Graceful as a pregnant elephant!- heard when someone walks into a wall, trips over air, etc.
Heard when someone farts - "Did you see that elephant run under my chair?"

Never try to teach a pig to sing opera, it wastes your time and annoys the pig
If someone passes gas, they look around and say "Damn African Barking Frogs!"

Hey Tozie I knew exactly what he meant about Debbie's hair on fire. In my industry you learn a lot of colorful nuances to the English language

She was so damn fat I had to throw flower on her to find the wet spot
That was funnier than a frogs fat a$$
Maybe I really do have the "pump" and it was like throwing a hotdog down a hallway
Men came out of a Vajayjay when born and most spend the rest of their lives trying to get back in

Okay, here is what they all mean
Don't spoil the ship for a haporth of tar! ......... Don’t risk the failure of a large project by trying to economize on trivial things.
Arse over tit! ....... Back to front.
Don't get your knickers in a twist! ........... when one gets upset or crazy over something most people think is unimportant.
It's monkeys outside! .............. It's freezing outside!
Argy-bargy! ........ Trouble, noisy quarrelling, arguing
Mad as a bag of ferrets! .............. Unusual, crazy.
Bobs your uncle! ............. A catch phrase expressing satisfactory completion.
chin wag! ........... A chat or brief conversation.
All mouth and no trousers! ........... Boastful and without just reason. E.g."You shouldn't pay any attention to him, he's all mouth and no trousers."
Arse about face! ............ Back to front.

It does amaze me how different cultures, parts of the world and ethnic groups have similar phrases for the same thing, but still the way it is said is quite different.
Such as "Arse over tit!" ~~ "Bassackwards" would be how it is said down here in Redneck country.
"Don't get your knickers in a twist"~~"Don't get your panties in a wad" (especially if you wear pink ones like a certain RB2 I know.)
"Mad as a bag of ferrets"~~"Mad as a Hatter" which I think is referring to the 'Mad Hatter' in "Alice In Wonderland"
Don't count your chickens before they hatch~~
Over yonder, yonder a ways, down yonder, yonder-over there ~~ which means the same thing actually.
All bark and no bite~~
Well Bless Your Heart!~~
Well Fiddle Dee Dee!~~
Tumped over~~
As much fun as a barrel of monkeys~~
D'Jeet yet?~~Did you eat yet?
Assumptin'~~Assuming
Well I'll be hornswaggled

LOL, isn't it funny how we have so many different sayings? There are so many over here!
Here are a few more!
Are you talking to me or chewing a brick! .............. Rhetorical, confrontational question to a person who is considered to be talking nonsense of too much.
Better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick .............. A phrase that expresses that a situation could be much worse.
Daft as a brush ............ Very silly, crazy.
Dog and bone ............ Telephone.
Face like a wet weekend ............ A miserable, sad appearence.
Throw a Spanner in the Works .........Screw up!
Dog’s Dinner ........ Dressed Nicely.
Horses for Courses ............ Won’t work for someone else.
Her Majesty’s Pleasure .......... To be in prison
Sozzled ............ Drunk, but not incapacitated.
