Some old favorites are "that's a barn burner" for something really great, and "you can't beat that with a stick" for a good deal. My grandmother used to say "he doesn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it our of" and my grandfather (and alot of others in NE Penna) call the funeral home "the corpsehouse". As in "so and so died, we've gotta go up the corpsehouse." My dad says "that was sufficiency, any more would be abundancy" when he declines a second serving of dinner.
