| A | B |
|---|
| face the music | accept the consequences |
| give my eyeteeth | give up almost anything |
| hanging by a thread | just barely surviving |
| ignorance is bliss | it is better not to know some things |
| every cloud has a silver lining | good things come out of bad situations |
| grain of salt | consider it cautiously |
| fly in the ointment | being annoying |
| go for broke | not hold back; give it our all |
| head in the clouds | daydream |
| fair-weather friend | a friend who's not always loyal |
| egg on your face | very embarrassed |
| in hot water | in a great deal of trouble |
| fish out of water | feeling uncomfortable or out of place |
| get your feet wet | try something new for the very first time |
| elbow grease | hard work or a lot of effort |
| Greek to me | confusing or very difficult to understnad |
| fighting tooth and toenail | attacking one another fiercely |
| in the limelight | the center of attention |
| give up the ghost | quit working; die |
| get the lead out | move quickly; hurry up |
| green with envy | extremely jealous |
| eyes in the back of her head | knows what I'm up to all the time |
| head and shoulders above | much better than |
| eat crow | admit you were wrong |
| get under my skin | annoy me |
