Complete this sentence: Lower than...

advertisement

Today on the radio the DJ said "lower than a snake's ankles" and it made me laugh.

But that doesn't beat "Lower than whale sh-t," an expression I heard years ago from a delightful woman who makes the most awesome, delicious, incredible pies I've ever eaten.

Her pies are the best and can't be beat. To date, her "lower than whale sh-t" expression is the best, too.

What's your favorite "lower than" expression?

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

    My favorite description of the lowest of the low is "bottom feeding sludge crawler". I don't know if you can actually GET lower than that.
