| A | B |
|---|
| beat a dead horse | keep doing something when you do not need to anymore |
| chip off the old block | look or act like my mom or dad |
| his bark is worse than his bite | his actions are not as bat as his threats |
| on the ball | able to do things well |
| put your heads together | work cooperatively |
| beat the clock | complete something just in time |
| a lot of get up and go | a lot of energy |
| get the upper hand | a position of power over someone |
| put your nose to the grindstone | get to work |
| jack of all trades | someone of many skills |
| stretch the truth | lie |
| bit off more than you can chew | try to do too much |
| let your hair down | relax |
| my eyes are bigger than my stomach | I thought I could eat more than I could |
| go overborad | do something in excess |
| stay on track | keep focused |
| a fly on the wall | eavesdrop |
| in hot water | in trouble |
| kill two birds with one stone | do two things at once |
| blow the whistle | tell on someone when they are doing something wrong |
