The List...

For this list of phrases, I have decided to keep them in the exact order that I have added them throughout the years. Additionally, some of the phrases can be said or written in slightly different manners, so I have tried my best to capture the essence of the phrase in how I have written it out for this list.

Even a worm will turn
Can’t make heads or tails of it
Penny for your thoughts?
Beggars can’t be choosers
Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
You win some, you lose some
Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t
The devil’s in the details
Speak of the devil
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t
It’s not over until the fat lady sings
Fall on deaf ears
Making mountains out of molehills
Draw a line in the sand
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
That’s how the cookie crumbles
As snug as a bug in a rug
Looking through rose-colored glasses
Laughter is the best medicine
Look what the cat dragged in
Cat got your tongue?
In between a rock and a hard place
Pot calling the kettle black
Reap what you sow
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Lost in the ether
(A few) bad apples
Pray on their downfall
Loose lips will sink ships
Turn a blind eye
The jury’s out
Til the cows come home
Yanking my chain
Ignorance is bliss
“Blank” makes the world go round
In the limelight
Give up the ghost
Give it a rest
I beg to differ
Everyone’s a critic
Pull yourself up from your bootstraps
Red sky at night, sailors delight, red sky at night sailors take warning
A fly on the wall
Nothing in life is free
There’s no such thing as a free lunch
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
Hit the road
Hit the hay
The grass is always greener
Not everyone’s cup of tea
Happy as a clam
Dog eat dog world
Double-edged sword
Grasping at straws
Six in one, half dozen in the other
That’s a bitter pill to swallow
Making lemonade out of lemons
Kill two birds with one stone
Give a dog a bone
Nothing to write home about
Bite the bullet
Larger than life
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
The calm before the storm
Lost in translation
Rome wasn’t built in a day
Turn over a new leaf
Inches for miles
Bigger fish to fry
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander
Your goose is cooked
Come hell or high water
Gives and takes
Takes no prisoners
When hell freezes over
A day late and a dollar short
In my heart of hearts
I’m at a loss of words
Touch out of luck
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Speak in tongues
The world in my oyster
Have a field day
No better time than the present
Saw red
Boils my blood
(smiling like) the cat that ate the canary
Knowledge is power
Time is money
Another day, another dollar
Another day in paradise
Knee-high to a grasshopper
A labor of love
Your neck of the woods
Your own worst enemy
Out for blood
Once in a blue moon
Getting my ducks in a row
Grown on me
Best of both worlds
Beating around the bush
Walking on eggshells
Two sides of the same coin
(Playing) a dangerous game
My two cents
Cost an arm and a leg
Cost a pretty penny
The writing’s on the wall
Don’t pull your punches
No dog in this fight
Die on that hill
Thorn in my side
Wake up and smell the roses
Are you picking up what I’m putting down?
Hook, line, and sinker
Time flies when you’re having fun
One foot in the grave
Grinding my gears
A match made in heaven
Marching to the beat of one’s own drum
Throw caution to the wind
Moving on to greener pastures
Flying by the seat of my pants
Empathy without boundaries is self-destruction
Short end of the stick
It’s in God’s hands
Drop dead
Forced your hand
Fall from grace
I gotta hand it to you
Lying through my teeth
Turn on a dime
It’s neither here nor there
Hidden in plain sight
It’s all Greek to me
When in Rome
Salt in the wound
Insult to injury
Kick someone while they’re down
In their good graces
It’s between you and God now
Only heaven knows
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Just what the doctor ordered
Make out like a bandit
Gone to hell in a handbasket
No rest for the weary/wicked
History is repeating itself
You can lead the horse to water but you can’t make it drink
That’s rich coming from you
A face only a mother could love
Thick as thieves
Your reputation precedes you
Go back to your roots
(It was) touch and go
Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades
Skeletons in the closet
Dropped the ball
Dead as a doornob
Dead as a doornail
Keep you on your toes
Get your feet wet
One trick pony
Blind as a bat
Dip my toe in
It’s a balancing act
Like moths to a flame
Food for thought
Mums the word
Play it by ear
Shoot yourself in the foot
Tit for tat
Throw someone under the bus
Pick your battles
An oldie but a goodie
Running in circles
Out like a light
Cry me a river
Don’t shoot the messenger
Joined at the hip
Out of left field
Let the cat out of the bag
It’s raining cats and dogs
The proof is in the pudding
Pulling my leg
Close but no cigar
The straw that broke the camel’s back
Put your money where your mouth is
Blink and you’ll miss it
You better sleep with one eye open
High highs and low lows
Leave high and dry
Grab the bull by the horns
Add fuel to the fire
Blow smoke up your ass
Tongue in cheek
Don’t give a rat’s ass
You’re on thin ice
Opening Pandora’s box
Music to my ears
You learn something new every day
Down in the dumps
Under the weather
Off the table
Hold your horses
The sky’s the limit
At the end of the day…
I’ve got tricks up my sleeve
It’s on the tip of my tongue
Every cloud has a silver lining
Fought tooth and nail
Only time will tell
A sight for sore eyes
That’s the oldest trick in the book
You live and you learn
Birds of a feather flock together
Few and far between
A tale as old as time
Nip in the bud
Unsung hero
Leaving you in the dust
Waiting with bated breath
Catch you on the flipside
Can’t get a word in edgewise
Bone to pick
Make a deal with the devil
Never heard silence so loud
You’re a real piece of work
Jack of all trades, master of none
Not the sharpest tool in the shed
Nectar of the gods
Steal their thunder
A necessary evil
In the eleventh hour
His chickens are coming home to roost
You get what you pay for
All my eggs in one basket
Scene of the crime
The beginning of the end
Color me “blank”
Rolling in their grave
Too many irons on the fire
Ruffle some feathers
Too many cooks in the kitchen
Break a leg
Over the moon
Don’t hate the player, hate the game
The lesser of two evils
You’ve got the blues
If looks could kill
Shooting daggers
Sick as a dog
High-risk, high reward
Getting cold feet
Doesn’t hold a flame/candle (to)
No news is good news
Practice what you preach
Not my circus, not my monkeys
Chump change
Left to your own devices
If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen
Reading between the lines
On the bright side
Live on the edge
Love is blind
Six feet under
Kick the bucket
The devil is beating his wife
Kiss and tell
My lips are sealed
Let’s get the ball rolling
The train is leaving the station
To take the easy way out
Let fate decide
A smitten kitten
Barely scratched the surface
Wind taken out of your sails
Can’t knock it til you try it
Staring into the void
I’ve got some time on my hands
Can’t trust you as far as I can throw you
Grassroots movement
Slap some sense into you
Holy mackerel
The name of the game
Saving face
Saving grace
Have the last laugh
Pony up
Doesn't fit the mold
In one ear and out the other
Out the wazoo
I’m up to my ears in “blank”
Trouble in paradise
The hay days
Like a deer caught in headlights
The best things in life are free
The tip of the iceberg
Beating a dead horse
When push comes to shove
Let the chips fall where they may
A candle in the wind
Now we’re cooking with gas
Count your blessings
Drive me up a wall
It’s no walk in the park
A dime a dozen
Losing my marbles
Giving you a taste of your own medicine
Hits the spot
One foot out the door
Reached your breaking point
Show your cards
Set in stone
The point of no return
The same water that hardens the egg will soften the potato
If the shoe fits
A diamond in the rough
Something is afoot
Through thick and thin
Out of the blue
Something’s in the air
A storm’s a-brewin'
A storm in a teacup
Head over heels
Small victories
Caught wind of
Err on the side of caution
Time flies
One for the money, two for the show
Home is where the heart is
The nail in the coffin
Misery loves company
Took the wind out of my sails
Fair and square
Takes one to know one
No harm, no foul
A snake in the grass
Two for the price of one
The belly of the beast
The green-eyed monster
In the realm of possibility
Let’s get this show on the road
Green with envy
Bang for your buck
Bet your bottom dollar
Putting the cart before the horse
The bearer of bad news
If there’s a will, there’s a way
Something’s fishy
Just like Mother used to make
On borrowed time
Getting the hell out of dodge
Slept like the dead
Out of thin air
Stand to reason
Stick to your guns
To each their own
On the dot
Wrapped around my finger
Zip those lips
Long story short
Better late than never
Double down
Place your bets
Shots fired
In the flesh
On that note
On the other hand
Slim to none
Late in the game
Beauty is pain
On my last leg
Must’ve been the wind
Take a load off
Voice of reason
In the doghouse
Pick of the litter
Chillin’ like a villain
In a nutshell
Sending mixed signals
Cut to the chase
Hit you where it hurts
It’s a fine line
Hindsight’s 20/20
Falling apart at the seams
Avoid like the plague
Dodged a bullet
Good enough for government work
Whatever floats your boat
No comments from the peanut gallery
Give someone the cold shoulder
A blessing in disguise
Left a bad taste in my mouth
Out of hand
Out of pocket
Bent out of shape
Bend over backwards
Barking up the wrong tree
Don’t give up your day job
Wild goose chase
In my feelings
Silly goose
Have a ball
Nothing gold can stay
Peace of mind
Give you a piece of my mind
And that’s that on that
The icing on the cake
End on a sour note
Blow after blow
I stand corrected
It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye
Knocking on death’s door
On their deathbed
Take it to the grave
Pry from my cold, dead hands
God only knows
By the devil
Over my dead body
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Not in a million years
By and large
Pick your brain
Blow a gasket
Going to be the death of me
Got your back
Home sweet home
On the same page
Carte blanche
Don’t press your luck
When all hell breaks loose
The night is young
On the edge of your seat
In your corner
The phone goes both ways
On a roll
Brought a knife to a gunfight
Clear the air
Don’t cry over spilled milk
Let bygones be bygones
Run for the hills
Doesn’t ring a bell
Word to the wise
Hard and fast rule
Long time no see
Just in the nick of time
Thinking outside of the box
The bigger picture
Easy peasy lemon squeezy
Put your mind at ease
The story of my life
Learn the ropes
Turn the tables
I’ve created a monster
Dropping like flies
Too little too late
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Scope it out
Coming in hot
The blind leading the blind
All good things must come to an end
My cross to bear
All on my shoulders
You’re off your rocker
The usual suspects
Dealer’s choice
The law of the land
Hold the phone
Jumping for joy
Chilled to the bone
I can feel it in my bones
Worked to the bone
Caught red-handed
As white as a ghost
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed
The early bird gets the worm
All bark and no bite
A one-man show
Run into the ground
That’s the million-dollar question
The question of the hour
The “blank” in question
Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes
Come full circle
It’s as good as gone
As good as new
This is as good as it gets
Off the clock
Running on fumes
Sign of the times
Swan song
I’m sticking to my story
You’re a tough nut to crack
It’s a piece of cake
You’re a tough cookie
Blood is thicker than water
In the same boat
Jump the gun
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Take it with a grain of salt
My spirits are lifted
Shaken to the core
To give someone grief
Knee jerk reaction
You’ll get yours
You’ll get what’s coming for you
Keep your nose clean
A speed demon
Sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong
Sticking your neck out for someone
Solid as a rock/rock solid
Having a seat at the table
Right-hand man
Ride off into the sunset
You get what you get and you don’t get upset
Off the rails
Back to business
Put my blood, sweat, and tears into it
Nickel and dime you
The word on the street
Do no wrong in my eyes
A change of heart
I’ll believe it when I see it
That bridge is burned
Ill-gotten gains
Flying blind
The path of least resistance
Run-of-the-mill
A creature of habit
Less is more
Work like a charm
When worlds collide
Take a hike
Bells and whistles
Too good to be true
A two-way street
Comparing apples and oranges
Slow and steady wins the race
Going goblin
The cherry on top
Talk your ear off
What has gotten into you?
Booked solid
Clear as day
The devil’s advocate
On the up and up
Better safe than sorry
love/hate relationship
In the grand scheme of things
Poison the water
No spring chicken
Extend an olive branch
Roll off the tongue
Taking matters into my own hands
In the aftermath
Next to nothing
A fish out of water
Everything under the sun
Bigger than the sky
It’s a pig sty in here
More than meets the eye
You snooze you lose
Chatting up a storm
Stamp of approval
Live to fight another day
How the mighty have fallen
Touched a nerve
Bled me dry
Play you like a violin
Rock the boat
By the skin of my death
Two can play at that game
Bloodthirsty
World’s smallest violin
Tread carefully
Fresh meat
The boy who cried wolf
Holding on by a thread
Eyes are the window to the soul
Hear me out
I’m on the verge
The bottom line
There’s more where that came from
The runt of the litter
The end is in sight
In it for the long haul
Save the best for the last
That’s what they all say
Connecting the dots
Worlds apart
Move heaven and earth
A lost cause
Hammer it home
That’s what keeps me up at night
Dancing circles around you
Seeing is believing
The benefit of the doubt
The same caliber
Runs a tight ship
Iron will
Eat your heart out
A blessing and a curse
Spoiling for a fight
Bury my head in the sand
Hit below the belt
Death by a thousand cuts
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
A penny saved is a penny earned
Don’t poke the bear
Like a dark horse
Rub me the wrong way
Broke the bank
Winner takes all
The dirt beneath my feet
Worse for wear
In due time
Right off the bat
Rule of thumb
Life is a game of inches
Hot on my tail/heels
Putting my foot down
Pipe down
Leap of faith
Keep you off my scent
Life is full of surprises
Leave no stone unturned
I’m all ears
Get it out of your system
A complete wash
Hit the sack
Lay down my weapons
Loud and clear
Bring my A-game
Tailor-made
Living proof
Sleep on it
Man-to-man
Don’t rain on my parade
High and mighty
Take the high road
Missed the boat
A stab/shot in the dark
Web of lies
Dry as bones
It’s a date
Keep your eyes peeled
Error in judgement
I’ve got my hands full
In the clear
Stick to the story
End of story
Sour taste in my mouth
One in a million
There are plenty of fish in the sea
Comes back to bite you
In a pinch
In a pickle
Cutting corners
Dead men tell no tales
It’s your funeral
A ticking time bomb
When one door closes another one opens
Full steam ahead
Wouldn’t hurt a fly
A cry for help
Jump ship
A feather in your cap
Rip the Band-Aid off
You made your bed, you lie in it
A stick in the mud
Stranger things have happened
Putting two and two together
Sweep it under the rug
A well-oiled machine
Tunnel vision
A trip down memory lane
Working hand-in-glove
Cradle to grave
At the drop of a hat
A chip on my shoulder
Great minds think alike
Splitting hairs
A mile a minute
In the blink of an eye
Smooth sailing
What does that have to do with the price of cheese in London?
Fair to midland
Don’t come crying/crawling back
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Clean bill of health
Old habits die hard
Don’t reinvent the wheel
Toeing the line
Play spend fiddle
Laying down the law
It’s a lawless land
A sharp tongue
Playing with fire
Leave well enough alone
The cream of the crop
Water under the bridge
When shit hits the fan
Take it to heart
For the life of me
Hand over fist
Rock bottom
Par for the course
Raise hell
Piercing the veil
A victim of circumstance
Run its course
Thrown to the wolves
A leopard can’t change it’s spots
Playing the hand you’ve been dealt
Across the board
Nothing if not “blank”
Today is my lucky day
The time of your life
Take a gander
You’ll catch your death
Getting under my skin
Holding the keys to the kingdom
Gone with the wind
Peek behind the curtain
Burning the midnight oil
Don’t fight fire with fire
An eye for an eye
Knock you off your high horse
The laughingstock of the town
In the hot seat
Born with a silver spoon in their mouth
Calling the shots
Makes my blood run cold
One and done
Throwing down the gauntlet
At my wit’s end
Hot off the press
Got to break a few eggs to make an omelet
For better or worse
Hidden gems
Land in some h0t water
Good things come in small packages
Tread lightly
Rear its ugly head
Straight from the horse’s mouth
Tickled pink
Foolproof
Talk is cheap
Bend the rules
The damage’s been done
Break bread
Reopened an old wound
Tricks of the trade
A hollow promise
Firing on all cylinders
A hoot and a holler
All dressed up with nowhere to go
Sticking out like a sore thumb
No guts no glory
When pigs fly
Saving for a rainy day
Your days are numbered
Spring has sprung
Tip my hand
That’s a knee-slapper
In over my head
The more the merrier
Fly off the handle
Bury the hatchet
Loose cannons
Word of the mouth
Sex sells
Bad to the bone
Cut some corners
In the dead of night
Poke the bear
Knock on wood
Going sour
Pay them back in spades
Ants in my pants
Slipped my mind
On a shoestring budget
Around the clock
Bad blood
Shake it off
Walk it off
Will not go gently into the night
I’m not married to it
None the wiser
Rolle with the punches
Life happens
Cut and dry
The ends justify the means
In my sights
Painted a target on your back
With few regrets
Kicked to the curb
Right up my alley
The apple of my eye
Mess up a two-car funeral
Out with the old and in with the new
Down for the count
The vultures are circling
Smoke and mirrors
Drown my sorrows
A rising tide lifts all boats
Circling the wagons
At a time like this?
Head to the other side of the sun
Curb your enthusiasm
Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back
Lie like a rug
A lovers quarrel
Starcrossed lovers
You shine up like a new penny
And that makes you my new best friend
On God’s good humor
Life is a game of luck
A picture is worth a thousand words
A cash cow
Not just black and white
A mixed bag
Salt of the Earth
Dig your heels in
In the weeds
You’re the glue
Gone off the deep end
Burning the candles at both ends
Cluttered house, cluttered mind
Run amuck
A breath of fresh air
My savior and my jailer
Say it isn’t so
All bets are off
Honesty is the best policy
The truth will set you free
Throw a wrench into it
Many moons ago
Make hay while the sun shines
Living on a prayer
A kiss of death
Help a man fish, and he’s fed for a day, teach a man to fish, and he’s fed for life
On my dime
Taking one for the team
Strikes me as odd
In the same vein
A chilling effect
Boils down to
The truth will shake out
The joke’s on you
See you coming from a mile away
Drunk as a skunk
Can’t unring the bell
[Obtain] at a cost
Axe to grind
Dazed and confused
No good deed goes unpunished
Go with the flow
Batten down the hatches
Moving mountains
Run with the bulls
Like night and day
The life of the party
Wears the pants in the relationship
If you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours
Like a Phoenix from the ashes
Success is the best revenge
Nice guys finish last
Digging your own grave
Racking my brain
A lot easier said than done
Not one lick
An eye for an eye makes the world go blind
I remember it like it was yesterday
A cautionary tale
In a New York minute
Go out on a limb
It’s a long shot
If I play my cards right
Walking the line
Walking on a tightrope
Venture into uncharted waters
This is uncharted territory
Into the unknown
Get back on the horse
Drop a dime (on someone)
You’ve got your wires crossed
Fighting demons
Living the high life
My way or the highway
On the fast track
I feel like a million bucks
Up in arms
Chomping at the bit
Eye candy
You can’t have your cake and eat it too
A needle in a haystack
On the fritz
Picture perfect
Don’t put down roots in bad earth
Putting down roots
On the back burner
I have half a mind
Helter-skelter
In poor taste
Open the floodgates
The greater good
An open book
Clammed up
Come out of your shell
Make a beeline
Cause for alarm
Put a dent in
The faint of heart
Under the table
The lights are on but no one’s home
Not a lot going on up there
Tail tucked between your legs
Pave the way
Keep an eye on you
It’s coming down in sheets
Strike you down
Odd one out
Lost in space
Staring off into space
Brush it off
Man up
Glass half full
Glass half empty
You’re pushing your luck
It’s lost on me
Trailblazing
Falling off the wagon
A hop, skip, and a jump away
Planes, trains, and automobiles
Snowed in
In a daze
Lean on me
A shoulder to cry on
Give you a knuckle sandwich
Shut your trap
Reeling back
Up your alley
Odds are stacked
The odds are against you
A cup of joe
Acting sheepish
Blood in the water
Get a load out of this
Up to par
Up to snuff
Call your bluff
Into the fray
Get a kick out of it
Winner winner chicken dinner
Second to none
Safe and sound
Blood on your hands
Razor sharp tongue
A step in the right direction
Comparison is the thief of joy
One stop shopping
Like nobody’s business
Will not carry water for
Fighting the good fight
Heard through the grapevine
A wealth of knowledge
In every sense of “blank”
Live while you’re young
In the thick of it
Crossing the line
Keep the fires burning
That ship has sailed
Knowing is half the battle
No skin off my bones
Raise the stakes
Raising the bar
No skin in the game
Pull my weight
Put a pin in it
Clutching your pearls
On cloud nine
The twilight zone
The turning of the tide
Son of a gun
Give you a run for your money
A stroke of luck
A basket case
Cut out the middle man
Horsing around
Get it off your chest
A gentle giant
The bane of my existence
Get your money up, not your funny up
Wholeheartedly
Busier than a moth in a mitten
Pull the rug out from underneath me
Divide and conquer
On the nose
Stars in your eyes
Seeing stars
When it rains it pours
Coming out of the woodwork
The lion’s share
Head in the clouds
Pay lip service
Rags to riches
Rolling with the tide
Out with the tide
Up to speed
The ball’s in your court
Racing against the clock
If things go South…
By a mile
Fall like a house of cards
Sing for your supper
The bottom or top of the hour
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch
The smoking gun
Keeping up with the Joneses
Pain in my ass
Not all that glitters is gold
Taking down names
A price on my head
Step through the looking-glass
If it looks too good to be true it probably is
Throwing the baby out with the bathwater
The nights belong to the poets and the madmen
Take your fat off the burner
Skeleton crew
Top of one's lungs
Go down swinging
A cardinal rule
The fire of a thousand suns
Wake up call
Burnt out
Put a sock in it
Watch it like a hawk
Bottom of the barrel
The bread and butter of something
The crème de la crème
Shooting the shit
Run with the wolves
Walk the plank
Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas
Rumor has it
(What) moves the needle
Living the dream
Toss my cookies
Dropped them like a bad habit
Monday morning quarterback
The common thread
The cat’s meow
No dice
The whole nine yards
Get down to brass tacks
Hit the ground running
First can follow, last can lead
In their backyard
Set the bar high
Bending over backward for [someone]
Tiptoeing around it
White as a sheet
Shipping out
Just calling it how I see it
The key to success
Cash grab
Rearing to go
Laissez-faire
Hot bottom issue
Picking up slack
Paper thin
Night owl
Stick together like glue
Tried and true
Sent into a tailspin
Bring the house down
Storm the front gates
Roll in like thunder
Don’t get carried away
Eyeballing it
Shoulder the burden
Tongue-tied
God knows I tried
With reckless abandon
Paint the town red
Belle of the ball
No one likes to back a losing horse
From zero to hero
Pièce de résistance
Ear to the ground
The wind behind the wing
Teamwork makes the dream work
Chew you out
Let’s put our heads together
Cut some slack
Eat my dust
Bounce a quarter off the bed
Easy come easy go
Have your hands in a lot of pots
Have your people talk to my people
Pulling rank
Can it
See something say something
Struck a chord with me
There’s always another mountain
Kismet
You’re history
Out of style
Nobody bats an eye
White lies
Wise guy
Throw money after bad
This car was built on a Monday
On the struggle bus
Quit cold turkey
The butt end of the joke
One track mind
A creature of the night
You’re out of your mind
A little birdie told me…
Fell down the rabbit hole
The horse was out of the barn
[Okay] I’ll bite
Voir dire
Two peas in a pod
In the back of my mind
Flirting with death
I’ll be the judge of that
Get lost
Peter out
If I had a nickel for every…
Shove down your throat
The tools of the trade
Beyond your wildest dreams
Soften the blow
Keep under wraps
Lose your edge
Low balling it
The odds are in your favor
Pull the plug
Strapped for cash
Where the rubber meets the road
When the cat’s away, the mice will play
I have two left feet
Footloose and fancy-free
Free as in kittens or free as in beer
Free as beer
Shaking in your boots
Dog tired
Until you are blue in the face
Ready to rumble?
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Like clockwork
Broke as a joke
Putting pen to paper
No biggie
Strikes my fancy
You’re killing me
Risk it for the biscuit
Zip it
Recipe for disaster
Slow news day
Off the dome
Off the top of my head
Off the cuff
Slim pickings
Do or die
That’s money
Let go and let God
To go against the grain
See the light
You are what you eat
Carry on
Skyrockets
Off the hook
Not a happy camper
Champagne problems
Cash is king
Money is the root of all evil
You know what they say
As the saying goes…
Everything but the kitchen sink
Water off a duck’s back
In some circles
Location. Location. Location.
The city never sleeps
Those who wander are not lost
At a clip
Grabbing the brass ring
Spinning our wheels
Find your groove
Shot up like a weed
Sticky fingers
As good as dead
A punch to the gut
Grandfathered in
Easy as pie
Ready to rock and roll?
Smooth as butter
The big man on campus
A big fish in a small pond
Like putting lipstick on a pig
The elephant in the room
[Blank] is my middle name
Running around like a chicken with its head cut off
All roads lead to Rome
Don’t judge a book by its cover
A frog in your throat
Putting your foot in your mouth
You’re on my last nerve
In the eat of the moment
Irish goodbye
Achille’s heel
Mother knows best
Blood brothers
The pen is mightier than the sword
Pigging out
Going ham
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me
Cool as a cucumber
Stairway to heaven
Crocodile tears
Put the pedal to the metal
Burning rubber
Dumb as a box of rocks
Don’t play with fire
Light as a feather
Easy as one, two, three
Work smarter, not harder
Working hard or hardly working
X marks the spot
Brain freeze
A bull in a china shop
High as a kite
The third time’s the charm
Fresh as a daisy
Just sitting there looking pretty
Ugly duckling
Your eyes are bigger than your stomach
Getting your foot in the door
Rules for thee but not for me
To have your feet on the ground
Spill the tea
Gut you like a fish
All that and a bag of chips
Tying the knot
Going downhill
Caught with your pants down
In a chokehold
If I were in your shoes
Making my ears bleed
Call it a night
A hard day’s night
Laughing up a storm
Clever as a fox
War in my mind
Never gets old
I can see that a mile away
In the blink of an eye
Get your head out of your ass
That’s fire
Think you’re hot stuff/shit
What goes up must come down
Dumb luck
The luck of the Irish
Don’t let it go to your head
Trust the process
Can’t see the forest for the trees
Tomato to-mah-to
Clear as a bell
Loud and proud
Crystal clear
No pain no gain
Get on your soapbox
Preaching to the choir
Don’t get your panties in a twist
All is fair in love and war
Weed out
Turning up the heat
Two-faced
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
Like a broken record
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
The witching hour
Put this issue to bed
The forbidden fruit
Watering a dead plant
Bucket list
You’ve got it all twisted
Sharp as a nail
A smart cookie
I’m clocking out
For Pete’s sake
Stiff as a board
Que sera sera; Whatever will be, will be
Squashing the beef
Taking the piss out of
The fruits of my labor
The pot of gold at the end of a rainbow
Chasing rainbows
You make a better door than a window
Give someone the time of day
Talking on the fly
Two heads are better than one
Looking at you like you’ve sprouted a second head
Down the road
Lead foot
It’ll be a cold day in hell before…
Hot as hades
Make mincemeat out of you
Come a long way
Can’t for the life of me…
Save your tears
Threw me for a loop
The stars aligned
Gods and monsters
Keep at an arm’s length
Rewrite history
All keyed up
The plot thickens
Touch base
Eat your words
Sweating bullets
Taken out to pasture
Money talks
Living under a rock
Eating me alive
Real recognizes real
Drag through the mud
Pulling the strings
Riding their coattails
Seize the moment
I can’t put my finger on it
The shoe is on the other foot
Lightning never strikes the same place twice
Green thumb
In a jiffy
Air it out
Leave you out to dry
Get a room
If you fail to plan you plan to fail
Amateur hour
A-game
Off the charts
The best offense is a good defense
Leave it at the door
You could hear a pin drop
Bounce back
The jig is up
The world doesn’t revolve around you
Quick on the uptake
Kill them with kindness
Pity party
Cute as button
Up close and personal
Take it at face value
Twisting my words
All hands on deck
Tuckered out
Keep at bay
B movie
Ball and chain (marriage)
Horse feathers
The bee’s knees
Beg the question
Big cheese
Paper trail
Full of hot air
An airhead
Birthday suit
Black as sin
The black sheep of the family
Blow a fuse
Catch a flight
A sweet summer child
Ahead of the curve
Skipping town
On the express train
Runs hot and cold
Shutting the barn door as the horses run out
The wheels are coming off
A far cry from [blank]
Me, myself, and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Lavender haze
Big bucks no whammy
Press your luck
Don’t shit where you eat
Can’t stop a runaway train
Losing steam
Freak of nature
Tying up loose ends
Can’t hang
Big shoes to fill
Suits my fancy
Off with her head
Get your head in the game
Give the boot
Burning desire
I have a lot on my plate
Hair of the dog
Hold my tongue
Daisy chains
Run like the Navy
Get out of your hair
Off the wall
Let that sink in
I’ve got my eye on you
It’s a small world
Full of piss and vinegar
A heavy hand
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere
If it talks like a duck and walks like a duck, it’s probably a duck
Healthy as a horse
Stick it to the man
A man of few words
Fight fire with fire
Different strokes for different folks
One bitten twice shy
Kick it up a notch
Got me by the short hairs
Shoot to kill
If these walls could talk
The body’s not even cold
Expand your horizons
Radio silence
Clearing the pipes
Clean as a whistle
Squeeze the nickel until the buffalo shits
Off to the races
Let your guard down
Chew you up and spit you out
A fish is last to discover water
Out to sea
Blow your stack
Have a meltdown
[Blank] is half the battle
An uphill battle
Jabber jaw
Make no bones about
CARE package
Carry a torch
Catch lightning in a bottle
Cheshire cat
Clean as a hound’s tooth
Don’t have to tell me twice
Come and get it
Couldn’t hit the side of a barn
Cover your tracks
Cool your jets
A country mile
Cut in
That’s highway robbery
Days of yore
Dead man’s hand
Every dog will have it’s day
My dogs are barking
Could enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey
Down on his uppers
Like a drunken sailor
Duke it out
Dunce cap
Liquid courage
Resting on your laurels
Blown away
Fox guarding the henhouse
Round robin
Dive deeper
Got a stick up your ass
For shits and giggles
Look before you leap
Working like a dog
Is a bullfrog’s ass watertight?
Grinning ear-to-ear
Deep pockets
By the grace of God
Live and let live
I wasn't born yesterday
To play fast and loose
Don’t have a pot to piss in
Shit or get off the pot
Bait and switch
A fly in the ointment
Throw a monkey wrench in the works
Fold like a cheap suitcase
In the fullness of time
Gag me with a spoon
On the line
Oh word
It’s a poor musician who blames his instrument
Cut to the quick
Caught off guard
All the rage
Paint by the numbers
Get one’s goat
Gild the lily
Go fly the kite
Go hog wild
Going ape-shit
Goody two-shoes
A good egg
Good-time Charlie
Gordian knot
The Hatfields and the McCoys
Heebie-jeebies
Humble abode
Hubba hubba
One horse town
Don’t change horses midstream
Humble pie
If I knew you were coming, I would have baked a cake
That’s how I roll
Blow you out of the water
Bringing home the bacon
On the double
Jerkwater town
Jerry built
The whole kit and caboodle
A knight in shining armor
Buckle down
The last hurrah
Lie like a tombstone
Lock horns
Be there or be square
Mad as a hatter
The main drag
Mind your p’s and q’s
A method to the madness
Mind your beeswax
Moment of truth
One man’s meat is another man’s poison
Pardon my French
Parting shot
It’s time to pay the piper
Poor little rich girl
Puppy love
Put through the ringer
Putting on the Ritz
Read em and weep
Read the Riot Act
Red herring
Rob Peter to pay Paul
See you later alligator
Set her cap
Seventh heaven
Shell shock
Best thing since sliced bread
Social butterfly
Square peg in the round hole
Throw in the towel
The weed of crime bears bitter fruit
A wet blanket
Going off the rails
You don’t know the half of it
Out of sight out of mind
As a rule of thumb
Where there’s smoke there’s fire
Green around the gills
Up for grabs
As stubborn as a mule
Fit as a fiddle
That old chestnut
This ain’t my first rodeo
On the ropes
On the fence
Feel one’s oats
Sow one’s wild oats
Suck it up
Been a hot minute
Say it with your chest
Makes a world of difference
Rooting for the underdog
In cold blood
Work your ass off
The more you know
Thousand-yard stare
The canary in the mine
Paid under the table
Don’t let grass grow under your feet
Don’t write checks that can’t be cashed
Tip-top shape
Getting out behind the eight-ball
The truth hurts
Look in the mirror and take one thing off
Hell have no fury like a woman scorned
My heart is in my throat
Out of the woods
Fumbled the bag
Weak in the knees
Heads will roll
Living rent-free in their mind
I can read you like a book
A shoe in
Shoot for the moon
Strike while the iron is hot
Roll the dice
Hit the jackpot
Flying under the radar
Slept like a log
The inmates are running the prison
Sweating like a whore in church
A chip off the old block
Asleep at the wheel
[Blank] has a seat at the table
There’s no trust among thieves
Die down
Wouldn’t touch you with a 10-foot pole
A watched pot never boils
By the book
Passing the torch
Pass the buck
Talk of the town
Nickels on the dime
Pay to play
Within an inch of one’s life
Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days
Cut from the same cloth
Like a dog with a bone
Not all superheroes wear capes
Feel the burn
Money doesn’t grow on trees
Get to the point
Knock your socks off
Timing is everything
Any publicity is good publicity
Smart as a whip
Time is of the essence
Three’s company
A stone’s throw away
Never meet your heroes/idols
It’s a done deal
A little stinker
Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic
On God
Keeping your side of the street clean
(I’ve) hit a wall
Where the sun don’t shine
Sitting ducks
The man upstairs
Looking in the black box
Golden boy
A roll in the hay
Working out the kinks
My patience is wearing thin
Barrel of laughs
Ate like a king
The same old song and dance
On the lam
My door’s always open
Punch your ticket
A death grip
Blow your top off
Cabin fever
Try this one on for size
Not the brightest bulb
On the ball
A long day’s night
Up in the air
Nothing gets past you
To lie like a central banker before the currency breaks
School of thought
So what’s the big whoop
What’s the big deal
Blowing off steam
Pulling a rabbit out of a hat
That’s going to leave a mark
Roll up your sleeves
Get down to business
Finders keepers
What came first the chicken or the egg
One step ahead
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best
Cut the cheese
God created the Earth but the Dutch created Holland
Barely a drop in the bucket
Talking shop
A nice change of pace
The risk you run
Consistency is key
Were you raised by wolves?
A front-row seat
Dead in a ditch
Do my bidding
Woe is me
Fine-tuned
Right place, wrong time
Sleep for dinner
Eyes on the prize
Take a nosedive
A game of cat and mouse
Holding the knife by the handle
Brain fart
A born-again Christian
Caught in the crosshairs
Hot off the griddle
A nervous Nellie
Butterflies in my stomach
Rolling in dough
In the hole
I’ve got money to burn
Like watching paint dry
To die for
Rough around the edges
Cut a rug
The show must go on
Curtain call
Face the music
Full of baloney
It’s a mixed bag
It’s a toss-up
The turn of the century
In its infancy
Break the ice
Feeding the beast
The movers and shakers
Sunshine is the best disinfectant
Vis à vis
Stay curious
Not a penny to my name
Don’t worry, be happy
Mum as a mouth
Talking out of turn
All or nothing
Not seeing eye to eye
You got another coming
Ride like the wind
Six ways from Sunday
Pay through the nose
Big brother
Tooting my own horn
In this day and age
All squared up
Let’s talk turkey
Right as rain
Take it out for a spin
Running your mouth
Cards on the table
A motley crew
Doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together
Fell into my lap
A hot mess
A dog off its leash
Making light of
The thrill of the chase
Us against the man
On a hair trigger
Happier than a pig in shit
Three sheets to the wind
Thick skull
Crossing t’s and dotting i’s
You know the drill
Off color
Rain check
The top dog
We’ve got business to settle
Scales to balance
Didn’t say jack shit
The welcome wagon
A wild card
A spring in my step
The land of the living
Locked and loaded
Kicking a bad habit
Cut through the nouse
Welcomed with open arms
Wild horses couldn’t keep me from [blank]
Up my game
I’m juggling too much at once
Getting off on the wrong foot
You’d lose your head if it wasn’t attached to you
With all my heart
I don’t know what has gotten into me
The floodgates have opened
I’ll tell you this for free
Putting my life in their hands
Hands of fate
Tempting fate
Time after time
Count your lucky stars
Spread eagle
I don’t give a hoot
A kick in the rear
A short fuse
Smoke signals
Only the good die young
Time for the chicken to fly the coop
Checks and balances
Squirrel [some] away
Walked right into that one
Tête à tête
Out of this world
Used and abused
Share the wealth
Blacklisted
Don’t want to step on anyone’s toes
Run something past you
Take by storm
Climbing up the [corporate] ladder
Nothing to sneeze at
Time and place
Touch as nails
Give a heads-up
Clearing my head/mind
Cogs in a machine
A beacon of hope
Case in point
That tracks
Give the shirt off my back
[Blank] of century
The night is darkest before dawn
A lot of balls in the air
Laying it on thick
Bouncing off the walls
Shop until you drop
Hole in the wall
Takes the cake
There’s more than one way to skin a cat
That’s a loaded question
Don’t confuse me with facts my mind is already made up
Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Kiss her ring
Why on Earth?
Like the dickens
Throws nickels around like manhole covers
Mud sticks
To steamroll someone
At your beck and call
The winners write history
Taking the wheel
It’s a no-brainer
Swim with the fishes
Circling the drain
That’s my jam
Chef’s kiss
What’s his face
Not my finest hour
Hold on to your hat
[Blank] written all over you
A bargaining chip
On the brink
The less you know the better
