A | B |
Don't beat around the bush. | Just say it! |
Hit the nail on the head | Exactly right. |
That's icing on the cake. | That's even better |
Down in the dumps. | Feeling sad |
A green thumb | Good at growing plants |
Raining cat's and dogs | Pouring down rain |
I'm all ears. | I'm listening |
Hold your horses | Wait |
Turn over a new leaf | Make a change for the better |
I'm on the fence | I can't decide |
Day in and day out | all the time |
Wash your hands of it | Leave it alone from now on |
Better late than never | doing it late is better than not |
Take a crack at it | Try it |
Went to bat for somebody | Stood up for someone |
It's water under the bridge | It's done. It's in the past. |
A penny for your thoughts | What are you thinking? |
Missed the boat | You missed your chance |
Pulling your leg | teasing you |
When it rains, it pours. | everthing goes wrong at once |
Keep your chin up | Cheer up! |
