Nice chief! I always use the phrase “It’s colder than a witches titty in an igloo bra.” No idea on the origin of it like brass monkey but yes feel free to use it….Vie, Vie!

Brass referes to the pyramid they stacked cannon balls on a ship. The brass monkey got colder than the cannon balls and contracted and the balls rolled all over the deck.

Hmmm. I've always said and heard "colder than a witches tit in a brass bra".
Not related to cold but another old saying; "got to pee like a Russia race horse".

“Hotter than a two-peckered billy goat”
“Purring like a tomcat in a cream can”
“Dryer than a popcorn fart”
“So tight he shoves a sponge up his arse to save the grease when he farts”
“So ugly she could puke a dog off a gut wagon”
“Got his tit caught in a wringer”
Many others my grandpa shared with me
