Fresh Idioms- I

The world requires spanking- new idioms. How long can we keep on using the tried-and-tested idioms? A new generation needs a new set. So this feature will try to breathe some fresh air into the hackneyed world of idioms!!

So how about similes in this feature?

as white as a bleached whale
as clever as a thwarted fox
as contrite as a convict in the docks
as sweet as clotted cream
as dissatisfied as an aging starlet
as swift as a scalded cat
