From the Yepran entry:
The Yepran, like most other toads, is four legged and has very muscular hind legs for hopping through the rainforests. Such hugely powerful legs are quite a necessity for the Yepran, since its large mass requires a considerable amount of force for it to be shifted. The beast’s limbs are so large that they seem too bulky, even for a creature of this magnitude, giving them a (to some) comical appearance. This characteristic led to the phrase "…like Yepran legs" which entailed something was in greater quantities than required, perhaps conveying greed, gluttony or riches i.e. "He has gold like Yepran legs".

From Jud'y Lopstere entry:
Sayings: "As slow as a lob on land", "Cross as two Cobsters in springtime" "Lopstere-lover" (for a person behaving in a manner perceived above their class, meaning stuck-up, hoity-toity).

Proverb/Saying
: "He's got no more dreams than a Kyranian, only lookin' to
<insert occupation here>
(ex. 'plow the fields') for the rest of his life."
Meaning/Explanation
: Said by one adult to another about a child that doesn't have the common childish fantasies about riding winged horses, battling beasts, and/or taming dragons like the heroes in bedtime stories.
Origins
: Human, Southern Sarvonian
Proverb/Saying
: "As pretty as a Kyranian."
Meaning/Explanation
: Most commonly directed to a young male who makes his friends wait while he works toward looking his best before heading to the local tavern for the night. It is also used sarcastically by a man or woman to point out someone who is ugly. The second way is sometimes used as a joke among male/female friends.
Origins
: Human, Southern Sarvonian
Proverb/Saying
: "You been standin' behind them Longhorns (horses or other cattle as well) again?" or "Run along now and don't go standin' behind no Longhorns yaself now boy/girl."
Meaning/Explanation
: The first is said to a youth that has a sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of their nose, mostly said by fathers, uncles, and/or grandfathers of the child. The second is used by elders that catch another youth messing with a boy/girl about their freckles.
Origins
: Human, Kyranian

... I've been told I'll be repayed for that one, but I couldn't pass it up when he walked right into it. I'll never look at Girl Scout cookies the same way from now on. Which is probably good cause I'm a huge pushover when it comes to little kids and they always manage to get me to buy a box each year. They set up camp outside the stores and I get trapped.
