(meant you didn't know much about nuthin")

Shit (or shoot) fire and save the matches. ("I'll be darn)
I've tried seven ways to Sunday....(meaning I've tried everything)

I'm plum tuckered out! (I'm exhausted)
If I had my druthers (If I had my way)
Happy as a hawg in a waller
Don't count yer chickens fore they hatch.
