Sort of like responding to a non-relevant comment with: "What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?"
Don't know how local this is, but one I've heard a few times is to "drop a dime" on someone. Meaning is to snitch, to turn someone over to authorities.
Typical usage: "If that wild party next door doesn't quiet down, I'm gonna drop a dime on 'em."
It comes from the distant past, unknown to our younger forum members, when there existed such things as "pay telephones" and the cost of a phone call was a dime. To preserve anonymity, a snitch would rat out his mates from a pay phone, dropping a dime in the coin slot to make the call.

Might as well. Can’t dance, never could sing, and it’s too wet to plow.
Dishonest
There are a lot of nooses in his family tree.
So crooked that if he swallowed a nail he’d spit up a corkscrew.
So crooked you can’t tell from his tracks if he’s coming or going.
He knows more ways to take your money than a roomful of lawyers.
Crooked as the Brazos River.
Slicker than a slop jar.
More twists than a pretzel factory.
So crooked he has to unscrew his britches at night.
She’s more slippery than a pocketful of pudding.
He’s slicker than a boiled onion.
Honesty
If I say a hen dips snuff, you can look under her wing for the can.
Brave
Brave as the first man who ate an oyster.
Drought Conditions
It's so dry the Baptists are sprinkling, the Methodists are spitting, and the Catholics are giving rain checks.
Unsophisticated
He's so country, he thinks a seven course meal is a roadkill possum and a six pack.
General Good Advice
The barn door’s open and the mule’s trying to run. (Your fly’s down.)
Lucky
He's driving the gravy train with biscuit wheels
I ate so many armadillos when I was young, I still roll up into a ball when hear a dog bark
