| give your eye teeth | to give up a precious possession |
| in a pickle | in a bad predicament |
| go fly a kite | to tell someone to leave you alone |
| bite someone's head off | to yell at someone |
| hold down the fort | to be responsible for the situation |
| icing on the cake | good added to something already positive |
| drive someone up a wall | to imitate someone |
| a little bird told me | not telling someone who you received the information from |
| hit the hay | go to bed |
| give someone a leg up | to help someone achieve |
| get your ducks in a row | organize yourself |
| beat the clock | to complete something ahead of time |
| heart of gold | to be kind and generous |
| kick a habit | to stop doing something negative |
| on cloud nine | to feel joyous about something |
| in a jam | in a bad predicament |
| down to earth | someone who is realistic and practical |
| cream of the crop | the best of the group |
| gone to the dogs | something that has gone wrong |
| open a can of worms | to cause more trouble than it's worth |
