| A | B |
|---|
| a drop in the bucket | small amount that won’t make a difference |
| at the end of his rope | frustrated and ready to give up |
| sitting on top of the world | happy in high spirits |
| call it a day | end your activities and be done with what you are doing |
| chickened out | too scared to follow through with something |
| cover all your bases | take care of all parts of the situation |
| cold shoulder | ignore someone who has made you angry |
| it dawned on me | suddenly realize something |
| don’t count your chickens before they hatch | totally counting on something happening that hasn’t happened yet. |
| to “pick on” someone | annoy or make fun of someone on purpose |
| don’t cry over spilled milk | don’t worry about small problems or and don’t worry about things that have already happened |
| down to Earth | someone laid back or relaxed or easy to talk to |
| ghost of a chance | not much of a chance |
| in her blood | comes naturally |
| in your hands | you are the only one with control over a situation |
| kicking back | relaxing |
| lighten up | don’t take things so seriously |
| make ends meet | making all of your money cover everything you need |
| make my blood run cold | extremely scared |
| moving up the ladder | advancing in your job |
| in one ear and out the other | not listening to what someone says to you |
| running behind | not getting everything you need to done |
| butterflies in my stomach | nervous about something |
| frog in your throat | your voice is gone or you sound sick |
| horsing around | loud - rowdy - obnoxious behavior |
