"a pig in a poke" - my mom has unfortunately revived that recently like she went and revisited the "hollers" where her family is from
"lipstick on a pig"

But those are both expressions in commonish use in the uk

Desperate Dan is a wild west character in the now-defunct Scottish comic magazine The Dandy. He made his appearance in the first issue which was dated 4 December 1937 and became the magazine's mascot. He is apparently the world's strongest man, able to lift a cow with one hand. The pillow of his (reinforced) bed is filled with building rubble and his beard is so tough he shaves with a blowtorch.

"don't get above your raisin'"

I remember one of the kids in my village eating asparagus at the house of one of the private school girls from the village, he asked his dad if they could get some and he literally said "you're getting ideas above your station boy".

We be out here! [0]

They be shooting! [1]

edit: [0] this is a phrase that forms part of the continuous soundtrack to 'bike life' or 'ride out' videos
edit: [1] this is rarely heard on 'bike life' or 'ride out' videos, but I have heard it on them when it all "gets on top"
edit: I gave up on Infinite Jest and threw it on the Pynchon pile when the EBONICS commenced, I hope no one mistakes me for David Foster Wallace, lol

I shouldn't be surprised.
The only person I've heard say "pig in a poke" is my mom, and I assume she got it from her Scots-Irish Appalachian roots.

Travel back to anywhere ~mid-1980s America if you want to hear valley girl slang. It was everywhere...
