Like a loaf of bread

The way TV sports announcers, usually following a fumble, describe a football player's style of holding the ball, when he has it in one hand away from his body. It's ridiculous because no one has ever actually seen anyone hold a loaf of bread that way, but they say it every time anyway.

No wonder he fumbled. Look how he was carrying it out there like a loaf of bread.

like a banshee

Something done in a continually wild, loud, out of control manner, especially if it seems surprising given the person, activity, manner, etc.

She may look innocent, but she screws like a Banshee!
