| A | B |
| not lift a finger | to refuse to do work |
| turn your back on someone | to ignore someone |
| go Dutch | to share the cost of something |
| let's make tracks | to leave |
| get cold feet | to be nervous |
| you can't teach an old dog new tricks | people don't like to change their habits |
| say the word | to tell someone to begin doing something |
| to toe the line | to follow the rules |
| fly by the seat of your pants | to do something without a plan |
| keep me posted | to keep someone informed |
| my lips are sealed | to have a secret |
| see the writing on the wall | to know something is going to happen |
| clam up | to be quiet |
| stick your neck out | to take a risk |
| a knuckle sandwich | to punch someone |
