Shame on you.
Is a lost saying.
You know how I know this, no one under 30 years old knows what shame is anymore.

Political correctness is a national suicide pact.
I am a sovereign individual, accountable
only to God and my own conscience.
Slicker than a school marm's leg.
Could be... Not familiar with that way of saying it. I have heard it said "Colder than a witches tit in a brass bra" though. Mostly around where I was the "bra" part was left out. I reckon it had to do with witches supposed to be cold hearted, or the like. Don't know any witches, so I can't ask any. I do know some women who might be witches or maybe change that "w" to a "b" though... LOL
I have also heard, "Colder than the balls on a brass monkey." , in reference to how they stacked cannonballs in that pyramid type shape, and the jig that held the cannonballs on the bottom layer was called a "monkey". When it got cold I was told the brass would contract & the balls would sometimes make the pyramid fall apart, thus the saying. I am not sure if that is true or not, but that was what I was told...
BTW... I am really trying hard not to come up with these, what some would call, "risque", sayings. I am just going on a bit about what some of them used to be.... And replying to labradigger1 s post.
Got some more to add, non risque ones...
"Slower than molasses.", "Uglier than sin", "Hotter than a 2 dollar pistol", "That's a Jim dandy".
See... There's a few that are a bit more "tame". I am not all bad, am I?
LOL
Gonna stop now & let others chime in...

I always heard it as "Slower than molasses in January".

Just listen to the song.
Kinda stretching things a bit, don't mean to get off your topic.
I still use," slower than molasses in January," and I am ONLY 55!

Gay used to be happy. Remember the jingle from the "Flintstones" We'll have a Gay O'l Time.

So broke I didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.
I sure am glad Groovy went out of style.

What about a bumbershoot ? Babushka? Balderdash? Mom told us about gotchies, which was her version of underwear. And gwumpkies, which is stuffed cabbage.
My grandparents all came here from Poland in the early part of the century, one of them escaping from the Russian army where they just took him, but when he got the chance he left. They had some colorful words that I never was told the proper translation to, but was warned about not repeating them under penalty of severe parental repercussions.

Back in the late 80's I worked with a guy who would everytime someone drove by and honked their horn he would yell "see you Sunday".
I had to finally asked him what was up with that and he told me when he was younger if someone drove down the road and honked, everyone on the porch or yard would wave and yell "see you Sunday".

From my grandmother: "Well, don't that beat a hog a-barkin'!" I only heard her repeat that line two times and never heard it from anyone else. Maybe she coined it, maybe not. Doesn't matter either way, it always made me stop whenever she said it.
Maybe a regional thing, but "Uglier than sin" was more than likely to be "Uglier than homemade sin"
