Although I have "no dog in this hunt"
I'll add to Nita's Spanish sayings, an Italian one:

la moglia e te macchina, no se presta!

your wife and car, never loan out!

Napoli's cool, but the trash is getting silly.

"you gonna' stand there
looking like a dummy,
or open yer mouth
and prove it."

had an old cowboy for a
boss who used to have
some good ones:
"howlin' like a hound sh!ttin'

Yeah I've heeard "read up xxx". I think it's an abbreviated version of "ready up".

One of my favorites is "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey."

You can use this in polite company as it has nothing to do with a simian statue nor does it have to do with genitals.
