A blessing in disguise A dime a dozen Beat around the bush Better late than never Bite the bullet Break a leg Call it a day Cut somebody some slack Cutting corners Easy does it Get out of hand Get something out of your system Get your act together Give someone the benefit of the doubt Go back to the drawing board Hang in there Hit the sack It's not rocket science Let someone off the hook Make a long story short Miss the boat No pain, no gain On the ball Pull someone's leg Pull yourself together So far so good Speak of the devil That's the last straw The best of both worlds Time flies when you're having fun To get bent out of shape To make matters worse Under the weather We'll cross that bridge when we come to it Wrap your head around something You can say that again Your guess is as good as mine A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush A penny for your thoughts A penny saved is a penny earned A perfect storm A picture is worth 1000 words Actions speak louder than words Add insult to injury Barking up the wrong tree Birds of a feather flock together Bite off more than you can chew Break the ice By the skin of your teeth Comparing apples to oranges Costs an arm and a leg Do something at the drop of a hat Do unto others as you would have them do unto you Don't count your chickens before they hatch Don't cry over spilt milk Don't give up your day job Don't put all your eggs in one basket Every cloud has a silver lining Get a taste of your own medicine Give someone the cold shoulder Go on a wild goose chase Good things come to those who wait He has bigger fish to fry He's a chip off the old block Hit the nail on the head Ignorance is bliss It ain't over till the fat lady sings It takes one to know one It's a piece of cake It's raining cats and dogs Kill two birds with one stone Let the cat out of the bag Live and learn Look before you leap On thin ice On probation. Once in a blue moon Play devil's advocate Put something on ice Rain on someone's parade Saving for a rainy day Slow and steady wins the race Spill the beans Take a rain check Take it with a grain of salt The ball is in your court The best thing since sliced bread The devil is in the details The early bird gets the worm The elephant in the room The whole nine yards There are other fish in the sea There's a method to his madness There's no such thing as a free lunch Throw caution to the wind You can't have your cake and eat it too You can't judge a book by its cover A little learning is a dangerous thing A snowball effect A snowball's chance in hell A stitch in time saves nine A storm in a teacup An apple a day keeps the doctor away An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure As right as rain Bolt from the blue Burn bridges Calm before the storm Come rain or shine Curiosity killed the cat Cut the mustard Don't beat a dead horse Every dog has his day Familiarity breeds contempt Fit as a fiddle Fortune favours the bold Get a second wind Get wind of something Go down in flames Haste makes waste Have your head in the clouds He who laughs last laughs loudest Hear something straight from the horse's mouth He's not playing with a full deck He's off his rocker He's sitting on the fence It is a poor workman who blames his tools It is always darkest before the dawn It takes two to tango Jump on the bandwagon Know which way the wind is blowing Leave no stone unturned Let sleeping dogs lie Like riding a bicycle Like two peas in a pod Make hay while the sun shines On cloud nine Once bitten, twice shy Out of the frying pan and into the fire Run like the wind Shape up or ship out Snowed under That ship has sailed The pot calling the kettle black There are clouds on the horizon Those who live in glass Through thick and thin Time is money Waste not, want not We see eye to eye Weather the storm Well begun is half done When it rains it pours You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs
