Hi @jasmine , here are a few more…
Sour expression – She made a face that could pickle a cucumber.
Dim-witted – If brains were gunpowder, he wouldn’t have enough to blow his nose.
His ears are so close together, a single thought can barely pass through the narrow hallway between them.
Cold – She had the warmth of a snow pea.
His heart is so cold icicles flee from its cold darkness seeking a place to get warm.
Bad voice – She sings like a bird…[pause]…caught between the claws of a cat.
My mule’s braying hits more notes on key within a minute’s time than I’ve ever heard suffering through an hour’s worth of her caterwauling.
What a miserable minstrel! Here! Make use of this sponge and stop his mouth with it.
Complainer – I wish I could hone my saber to an edge as sharp as her tongue.
Talkative – I might just take an auger to the drum in my ear, rather than play the audience to that prattler a moment more.
Nonsense – He was never one to talk much sense until his liver swelled with at least a pint full of ale.
Filthy – His clothes were rancid and home to thriving and boisterous colonies of lice who threatened to evict him for sullying their neighborhoods.
Wishing ill – What don’t you find yourself a hole somewhere and fall into it!

Warts and Toadstools!
Bracca! (Watership Down by Richard Adams)
Pig’s Gullet!
Swamp feet and hogs wallop!
By the mast and moon!
Gutter snipe!
Cursed concoction!
Squealing wobbly!
May the fogs peel your eye of sight!
Body rot and pestilence befall you!
Driveling fool!
Sulfurous slimeball!
