| A | B |
| bend over backwards | go out of your way |
| all in the same boat | everyone's in the same situation |

| working fingers to bone | working hard |
| a piece of cake | real easy |
| blood is thicker than water | family comes first |
| let sleeping dogs lie | don't say any more about it |
| hit the books | study |
| Rome wasn't built in a day | take your time |
| hit it off | like someone right away |
| go out on a limb | take a risk |
| slap on the wrist | very mild punishment |
| bite your tongue | don't say anything |
| when pigs fly | never |
| break a leg | Good luck |
| actions speak louder than words | doing is more meaningful than talking |
| let the cat out of the bag | tell a secret |
| hit the hay | go to sleep |
| heart of gold | kind person |
| spreads like wildfire | gets around fast |
| a real ham | likes to show off |
| hit the roof | very mad |
| back to square one | start over |
| don't beat around the bush | say it directly |
