| A | B |
|---|
| sour grapes | bad loser |
| that's the way the ball bounces | it happened and you can't do anything about it |
| just for kicks | just for fun |
| bite the bullet | do it even though you don't want to |
| head over heels | very happy |
| win by a nose | win by a narrow margin |
| not my cup of tea | something I don't like to do |
| give me a hand | help me |
| a big hit | well liked |
| pulling my leg | joking |
| get th e ball rolling | start something |
| tickled pink | very happy |
| stick your neck out for someone | bravely say something in support of another person |
| don't cry over spilled milk | don't complain about something that has already happened |
| look before you leap | think before you do something |
| under the weather | feel ill |
| heart of gold | a kind and generous person |
| monkey around | play or waste time |
| wild goose chase | a hopeless search |
| hit the ball on the head | exactly right |
