A | B |
When it rains it pours | everything goes wrong together |
Go the extra mile | do more than expected |
on the fence | can't decide |
Bite your tongue | Stop talking |
water under the bridge | in the past - done & over |
You are what you eat | eat well, feel good |
It's all in your head | you just think it |
Add fuel to the fire | make a bad situation worse |
beat around the bush | don't say it directly |
icing on the cake | even better than expected |
Keep your chin up | keep a positive attitude |
Feeling under the weather | feel sick |
a marked improvement | noticeable improvement |
a near miss | got very close |
new kid on the block | new kid |
a speedy recovery | get well fast |
an open and shut case | mystery easily solved |
a slam dunk | a sure thing |
better late than never | better to do it late than never |
day in and day out | all the time |
smell something fishy | something is suspicious |
haste makes waste | doing something to fast may be a waste of time |
if push comes to shove | if there are no more options |
just in the nick of time | just in time |
money talks | sometimes people will do things just for money |
right on the money | exactly right |
out of sight out of mind | if you don't see it, you'll forget it |
go to bat for someone | back someone up |
polished it off | ate it all |
popped into my mind | thought of it |
Pull the wool over his eyes | fool someone |
spill the beans | tell the secret |
take a crack at it | try it |
take the plunge | just do something |
tighten my belt | spend less money |
wash my hands of it | won't have anything to do with it |
