   As stubborn as a pig
   As round as a penny
   As flat as a pan-cake
   As strong as a horse
   As rich as a Jew
   As cross as a jennet
   As tight as two-pence in a sailors pocket
   As thick as a double-ditch
   As dirty as the dogs
   As thin as a skeleton
   As long as a wet week
   As blind as a bat
   As sour as vinegar
   As mute as a mouse
   As grey as a badger
   As tough as a gad
   As fresh as a daisy
   As straight as the barrel of a gun
   As light as a feather
   As big as a giant
   As yellow as a duck's foot
   As sore as a brier
   As quiet as a lamb
   As fair as a lily
   As quick as lightning
   As bright as a new shilling
