I have not heard it but I will be using it! I get the same looks when I say someone "lies like a rug".

Sounds like a mixture of two phrases. "Like a cat on a hot tin roof" & "Like water of a duck`s back". Are you sure you`re not getting mixed up?

Not heard that one - a couple of similar ones which my husband uses (East London area?) are "Like a rat up a drainpipe" and "Like Father Christmas sliding down a chimney wearing silk trousers"

I might give you an odd look, too. That is a new one to me.
