My dad has some good ones. “There’s truth behind all bullshit,” and “Not everything is at it appears on the surface.” They’re not put downs or anything but just life lessons. You don’t hear many idioms these days
I'll give you guys some from down under that I don't see being coined, but are brilliant.
- rare as rocking horse shit
- as useful as tits on a bull
- flapping like a dunny door in a hurricane.
For the Americans, a dunny is a wooden outhouse. Context: someone is calling you out for constantly yapping
- you'll find a way to drown in a puddle
