While we're nitpicking...

What the hell are nits, and why would it be regarded as trivial to pick them?

Insectoid vermin, very small. What monkeys pick off of eachother. Presumably, also our ancestors did this. nit-picking.

Variants on both:

It's rainin' like a double-cunted cow pissing on a flat rock.
Humped over like a dog shittin' bones.

Some of my favorites:

Darker than the inside of your hat.
Nervous as a whore in church.
Tighter than a frogs ass, and that's watertight!

it seems that picking insectoid vermin is an important thing, so that doesn't really explain why it's considered unimportant to nitpick.

"I'll beat you like a red-headed step-child"

How exactly does one beat a red-headed step-child?

"You can't go beating a dead horse"

I think I'm in a beating place.
