Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Vincent Stuckey Lean (Collectanea)
As big a liar as Tom Pepper who got licked out of hell for telling lies.As big as a parson’s barn,—always ready for more.Blush like the backside of a chimney.Bold as brass.Bright as a button.Busy as the day is long.Common as Get-out.As much difference between them as between a horse chestnut and a chestnut horse.Fit as a saddle for a sow.Full of noise as a mill.Hard as an egg at Easter.Hard as nails.Look like Let-me-be.Go as straight as a schoolboy at Christmas.Wise as the Mayor of Banbury, who would prove that Henry III was before Henry II.Work like a galley slave.
