My favorite phrase if I've hurt myself and can't move as I usually do is
"I've got a hitch in my get-along"

For example:
Breaking a leg will sure put a hitch in your get-along.

'I got a hitch in my git-along' when my back or legs are acting up.

'I feel like a limp dish rag' when it is hot and humid.

'I'm loosing steam' when I'm getting tired.

Mechanic, my wife would love that one. I'm one of those AU fans and she's a UGA.

Both my brother and his wife went to Auburn. The rivalry gets intense around here sometimes........

I got shot at and missed and crapped at and hit.

I guess my saying comes from getting a "crick" in your neck except it's all over. After a hard day I'm feeling kinda crickish. AKA " stove up"

Two steps shy of a stair case.

Couple bricks shy of a load.
