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
