- clear as day
- eyes like a hawk
- fly like an eagle
- free as a bird
- happy as Larry
- happy as a clam
- light as a feather
- like the dickens, like hell, like Hell, etc., if these count
- neat as ninepence
- old as the hills of Rome
- plain as day
- plain as the nose on your face
- quiet as a mouse
- sleep like the dead
- snap like a twig
- straight as an arrow
- strong as an ox
