| 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! |
