Crooked as a barrel of snakes is pretty self-explanatory, I guess, but it’s a colorful Texas expression, for sure. My friend Janet, who grew up in the Carolinas, is just tickled by it. She says it’s her favorite Texanism.
Janet works for a major airline, dealing with people from all over the world every day by phone. She loves to lay on a Texas accent very thick sometimes just for fun, and apparently her customers like it, too.
You can fill in your own definition as to who is as crooked as a barrel of snakes. Certain merchants, certain politicians…or maybe your ex.
