We need to rein in our horns.
%
A problem swept under the table occasionally comes home to roost.
%
From here on up, it's down hill all the way.
%
Don't look a charlie horse in the mouth.
%
He's cornered on all sides.
%
I don't trust him farther than you can bat an eye.
%
Don't talk to me with your clothes on.
%
Put yourself in his boat.
%
If that happened to me, I'd clean my ears out with a pistol.
%
It's a white elephant around my neck.
%
What can we do to shore up these problems?
%
I have a green thumb up to my elbow.
%
Let's bend a few lapels.
%
I'm over the hilt.
%
The viewpoints run from hot to cold.
%
Don't look for your balls in someone else's court.
%
We've taken our eyes off the wrong ball.
%
That's the way the cookie bounces.
%
He's sawing his limb off.
%
Nobody's going to put his neck out on a limb.
%
Now he's sweating in his own pool.
%
We have a difference of agreement.
%
I want to go into that at short length.
%
The sword works two ways.
%
Better to toil in anonymity than to have that happen.
%
Please come here ipso pronto.
%
I just pulled those out of the seat of my pants.
%
He's leading down the path to the chicken coup.
%
I'm gaining weight hand over fist.
%
I'll fight him hand and nail.
%
Don't roll up your nostrils at me.
%
It's wrought with problems.
%
It's your ball of wax, you unravel it.
%
Let them fry in their socks.
%
I'm not a lily-livered sea horse.
%
It's the vilest smell I ever heard.
%
It goes in one era and out the other.
%
It's a lot of passed water under the bridge.
%
Just remember, this too will come to pass.
%
Eventually, I want it now.
%
You're bonking up the wrong tree.
%
My socks are all bent out of shape.
%
It's a monkey wrench in your ointment.
%
He's being pruned for the job.
%
One doesn't swallow the whole cake at the first sitting.
%
Let's not cook the goose until it's hatched.
%
People in glass houses shouldn't call the kettle black.
%
Familiarity breed strange bed linen.
%
They're cooking on all cylinders.
%
We can dig ourselves out of this hole.
%
It's like the flood of the Hesperis.
%
It hit the epitome of it.
%
My mind slipped into another cog.
%
That would throw a monkey wrench into their ointment.
%
I'm going to feel it out by the ear.
%
He's taking the bark off the wrong tree.
%
He waxed incensive.
%
I just got my car fixed and it's runnin' like a dime.
%
Clean up your own can of worms!
%
We just have to take the grit in our teeth and do it.
%
It's enough to curl your socks.
%
Be careful not to throw out the bath water with the baby.
%
We're biting the foot the feeds us.
%
He's got a tough axe to hoe.
%
Don't rattle the cage that feeds you.
%
Fade out in a blaze of glory.
%
When in doubt, tread on oily water.
%
That may cool some socks.
%
They've reached a new level of lowness.
%
Take this time line with a large grain of salt.
%
He's taking his half out of our middle.
%
He's a little clog in a big wheel.
%
Float off into several individual conferees.
%
I've been bitten by the hand that feeds me.
%
Those guys are as independent as hogs on ice.
%
Don't bite the hand that stabs you in the back.
%
I'm going to resolve it by ear.
%
You can't get more out of a turnip than you put in.
%
Shoot it up the flag pole.
%
It's just another coffin nail driven into the morality of the United States.
%
If I'm going to suffer, I might as well suffer in comfort.
%
I've got to get my ass together.
%
Don't look a gift horse in the pocketbook.
%
I don't want to put all my monkeys in one barrel.
%
It is better to have tried and failed than never to have failed at all.
%
Hindsight is 50-50.
%
I'm smarting at the seams.
%
Keep the water as firm as possible until a fellow has his feet on the ground.
%
I won't do it if it's the last thing I do!
%
Omens are made to be broken.
%
He came in on my own volition.
%
His foot is in his mouth up to his ear.
%
I had to throw some feathers on the troubled water.
%
It's bouncing like a greased pig.
%
That's when I first opened an eyelash.
%
They're arriving like flies.
%
As a token of my unfliching love ... .
%
They keep petering in.
%
They don't stand a tea bag's chance in hell.
%
I'm your frontface in this matter.
%
Why put off today what you can do tomorrow?
%
That's a camel's eye strained through a gnat's tooth.
%
We know a lot more than we're not telling.
%
Mother's a little slow around the gills.
%
You're barking up a tree with no branches.
%
It's a future idea of the past.
%
I'd like to put another foot into the pot.
%
It's sloppy mismanagement.
%
It was a maelstrom around his neck.
%
I'm as happy as a pig in a blanket.
%
They've dumped you in the briar patch and told you to sink or swim.
%
Conceptual things are in the eye of the beholder.
%
An enigma is only as good as it's bottom line.
%
Let's all corrugate over here to view the artist's contraception of our new building.
%
That was a mere peanut in the bucket.
%
Sometimes I don't have both sails in the water.
%
One pig must be the guinea.
%
Let's skin another can of worms.
%
It rolls off like a boulder on a duck's back.
%
If the shoe fits, lie in it.
%
It's been ubiquitously absent.
%
That took the edge off the pumpkin.
%
I'm talking up a dead alley.
%
Give him enough rope and he will run away with it.
%
Fry him by his bootstraps.
%
Does he think he walks on water any differently than anyone else?
%
Don't lead them down the garden path and cut them off at the knees.
%
He's got his intentions crossed.
%
She makes Raquel Welch look like Twiggy standing backwards.
%
This is a land-breaking case.
%
He's so far above me I can't reach his bootstraps.
%
We need to screw our noses to the grindstone.
%
It's not his bag of tea.
%
It's like trying to squeeze blood out of a stone.
%
All our feathers came home to roost.
%
I'm going to litigate it to the eyeballs.
%
Don't twiddle your kneecaps at me!
%
My marbles went over the wall.
%
She attracted men like flypaper.
%
He puts on his shirt one leg at a time like everyone else.
%
It has the potential to peel away a curious can of worms.
%
He's one of the world's greatest flamingo dancers.
%
Judge him by his actions, not his deeds.
%
People who live in ivory towers shouldn't throw glass bricks.
%
We'll cross that bridge after we've burned it behind us.
%
You really can't compare us -- our similarities are different.
%
It's something you're all dying to wait for.
%
I don't feel any older than I used to be.
%
That took the starch out of my sails.
%
Too many cooks upset the apple cart.
%
No Californian will walk a mile if possible.
%
The aggressor is on the wrong foot.
%
Don't throw out the bath water with the baby.
%
Put that in your pocket and smoke it!
%
That didn't amount to a hill of worms.
%
Half a worm is better than none.
%
I shot my ass in the foot.
%
She stepped full-face on it.
%
You're barking up the wrong totem pole.
%
It rolls off her back like a duck.
%
I guess I'd better get my duff on the road.
%
It was a heart-rendering decision.
%
I'm not sure it's my bag of tea.
%
Look before you turn the other cheek.
%
We're willing to throw away the baby with the bath water.
%
I don't want to be the pie that upset the apple cart.
%
Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be.
%
It's just a small kink in the ointment.
%
I came within a hair's breathe of it.
%
Don't talk to me while I'm interrupting.
%
He's just a big bullyrag.
%
Is he an Amazon!
%
I'll take it one bird at a time.
%
It's not an easy thing to get your teeth wet on.
%
I hear the handwriting on the wall.
%
Pandora's cat is out of the bag.
%
Rome wasn't built on good intentions alone.
%
I have no personal bones to grind about it.
%
Our company is like a living orgasm.
%
We've got a cash cow that's turning into a dog that needs milking.
%
You're about as observant as a wet hen.
%
It's like Goliath and Gomorrah.
%
Her enthusiasm got carried away.
%
A rocky road is easier to travel than a stone wall.
%
Let me flame your fan.
%
The bloom is off the pumpkin.
%
I'm going right over the bend.
%
They'll carve that spectrum any way we desire it.
%
Don't pour oil on muddy water.
%
You saw right through my transparency.
%
He grates me the wrong way.
%
Let's shoot holes at it.
%
Don't put all your chickens in one basket.
%
I did it sitting flat on my back.
%
I have ears like a hawk.
%
He won't last. He's just a flash in the pants.
%
That really throws a monkey into their wrench.
%
You bet your bottom bootie I don't!
%
I don't want to open up a red herring here.
%
They are just prostituting the ills of the world.
%
I'm walking on cloud nine.
%
I wouldn't take him on a ten foot pole.
%
Run it up the flag pole and see if it salutes.
%
It flows like water over the stream.
%
If I've told you a hundred times, I've told you twice.
%
99% of this game is half mental.
%
I'm as happy as a clam in a fritter.
%
He's as deaf as a bat.
%
Any night in a storm.
%
I'm bored out of my tree.
%
Today's forecast is for wildly scattered showers.
%
He's out of his shallow.
%
Good riddance aforethought.
%
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
%
Don't put all your ducks in one basket.
%
There are no easy bullets.
%
Try thinking outside the egg carton for a change.
%
I'm up to my earballs in confusion.
%
The grocer's son always has shoes.
%
It runs the full width of the totem pole.
%
We'll have to sandwich everything we do under this one umbrella.
%
I don't toe to any cow.
%
He's a shirking violet.
%
Don't jump off the gun.
%
Let's not reinvent a dead horse.
%
He has a marvelous way of extruding you.
%
Don't count your fleas before they find dogs.
%
That's worse than running chalk up and down your back.
%
They run across the gamut.
%
I'm as happy as cheese at high tide.
%
It went over like a thud.
%
My off-the-head reaction is negative.
%
Make hash while time flies.
%
Those words were very carefully weasled.
%
She's steel wool and a yard wide.
%
I wouldn't give it to a wet dog.
%
The future is not what it used to be.
%
I case my ground very well before I jump into it.
%
A shoe in time saves nine.
%
All the hills of beans in China don't matter.
%
You're barking down the wrong well.
%
It has more punch to the unch.
%
I'm not much for tooting my own galoot.
%
This ivory tower we're living in is a glass house.
%
Clean up or fly right.
%
Hold on real quick.
%
Beggars can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
%
He got up on his high heels.
%
There's no point in spilling milk on a barn door that has hatched.
%
It's like trying to light a fire under a lead camel.
%
He should be gracious for small favors.
%
It's as flat as a door knob.
%
That's a kettle of different fish.
%
Let sleeping uncertainties lie.
%
There's a wart in the ointment.
%
Fish or get off the pot!
%
Boy, he sure gandered her.
%
It's milk under the dam.
%
That's a whole different ball of wax.
%
At the end of every pot of gold, there's a rainbow.
%
It goes out one ear and in the other.
%
No sooner said, the better.
%
I'm keeping me ear to the grindstone.
%
Go fly your little red wagon somewhere else.
%
Dig yourself a hole and bury it.
%
Erase that indelibly from your memory.
%
He's as loony as a fruitcake.
%
He was walking along with his head in the sand.
%
Everyone has a monkey on their back; you just have to spank your monkey.
%
Our backs are up the wall.
%
He's as happy as a stuffed pig.
%
It's the Achilles' heel of the Trojan Horse.
%
I'm close to the edge of my rope.
%
To write a really good letter of recommendation, use all the best expletives.
%
That just muddles the water.
%
I'm up a wrong alley.
%
I've worked my shins to the bone.
%
Don't make a molehill out of a can of beans.
%
I need to get on my Little Red Riding Horse.
%
He has the character of navel lint.
%
Give him a project to get his teeth wet on.
%
Any storm in a port.
%
Put the onus on the other foot.
%
Do not fumble with a woman's logic.
%
Don't bite the hand of the goose that lays the golden eggs.
%
The project is going down the toilet in flames.
%
I run to my own drummer.
%
Roll out the Ouija ball.
%
My impasse hit a roadblock.
%
It always looks the worst after the water is under the bridge.
%
I need to rein in my horns.
%
If you see loose strings that have to be tied down that are not nailed up, see me about it.
%
It got left out in the lurch.
%
I've got a real beef to grind with that guy.
%
He hit the nose right on the head.
%
I'm not going to get side tracked onto a tangent.
%
He was left out on the lurch.
%
I'll stay away from that like a 10-foot pole.
%
The groundwork is thoroughly broken.
%
I have a rot-gut feeling about that.
%
Hey, let's not go off half-crocked.
%
Don't do anything I wouldn't do standing up in a hammock.
%
A chain is only as strong as its missing link.
%
Let's not open the skeleton in that closet.
%
That's no sweat off my back.
%
He popped out of nowhere like a jack-in-the-bean-box.
%
I've got a card in my hole.
%
Trying to get a doctor on Wednesday is like trying to shoot a horse on Sunday.
%
There's going to be hell and high water to pay.
%
It's a sight for sore ears.
%
It's like harnessing a hare to a tortoise.
%
There aren't any worms in his backyard.
%
I'm going to cast my rocks to the wind.
%
I was really impressed by the mask of Two Ton Carmen.
%
It's a hot issue that dried up.
%
Man cannot eat by bread alone.
%
That's the other end of the coin.
%
There's a dark cloud on every rainbow's horizon.
%
I sit corrected.
%
The atmosphere militates against a solution.
%
What could help might work in retrospect.
%
He's paying through the neck.
%
The ball is in our lap.
%
There hasn't been much of a peep about it.
%
He's the pineapple of my eye.
%
Mind your own petard!
%
We didn't know which facts were incorrect.
%
They don't like to dictate themselves to the problem.
%
He was a living legend while he was alive.
%
I know what we have to do to get our feet off the ground.
%
Don't just stand there like a sitting duck.
%
Sometimes you can learn a lot by watching.
%
He smokes like a fish.
%
I'm out of my bloomin' loon.
%
Indiscretion is the better part of valor.
%
One man's curiosity is another man's Pandora's box.
%
His feet have come home to roost.
%
Let's not drag out dead ghosts.
%
She had an aurora of goodness about her.
%
French-fried hairballs!
%
I must stop beating my head against a dead horse.
%
She has eyes like two holes in a burnt blanket.
%
Never the twixt should change.
%
It's a mare's nest in sheep's clothing.
%
I'll let it circulate around to my post-frontal lobes.
%
The yard arm is in your court.
%
Don't push the flap on the envelope.
%
I'll descend on them to the bone.
%
Don't upset the apple sauce.
%
The pipeline has ramped up.
%
They're be chick peas in every pot.
%
Don't hang you dirty linen on my caboose.
%
I'm as happy as a stuck pig.
%
Keep your ear peeled!
%
I have my oars in too many boats.
%
He's a fruit-ball.
%
In this period of time, its getting very short.
%
Not me, I didn't open my peep.
%
Don't muddle the waters.
%
I pulled my feet out from under my rug.
%
She looks like she's been dead for several years, lately.
%
He's feathering his own empire.
%
If you can't do it at all, don't do it well.
%
To sweeten the pie, I'll add some cash.
%
There's some noise afoot about the problem.
%
He keeps his ear to the vine.
%
A buck in the hand is worth two on the books.
%
He's procrastinating like a bandit.
%
I's as finished as I'm going to take.
%
They should goose up their technical support.
%
It's no chip off my clock.
%
Nobody marches with the same drummer.
%
We shoot ourselves in the wrong feet sometimes.
%
That's a two-edged circle.
%
Don't look a dead horse in the mouth.
%
A two-pawn approach is necessary.
%
We have all passed a lot of water since then.
%
Three hands make for lighter work.
%
I want quality, not quantity, but lots of it.
%
Now the laugh is on the other foot!
%
Somebody's flubbing his dub.
%
I need to get my ass on.
%
He bought his own limb and crawled out on it.
%
That's a bird of a different color.
%
This office requires a president who will work right up to the hilt.
%
You are never going to fail unless you try.
%
He's reached the crescent of his success.
%
There's no point in grasping at straws when you're barking up the wrong tree.
%
It's the screws of progress.
%
My head is closing in on me.
%
You can just take your hand basket to hell!
%
Why procrastinate now when you can wait until tomorrow?
%
He pulled himself up on top of his own bootstraps.
%
It's all water under the dam.
%
My ebb is running low.
%
Uneasy sits the head ... .
%
They were made up to the gills.
%
I've got to put my duff to the grindstone.
%
Don't look a mixed bag in the mouth.
%
It's going to knock his socks right off his kneecaps.
%
It's a catch 20-20.
%
Like the shoemaker's children, we have computers running out of our ears.
%
It scared him off his pants.
%
It might have been a figment of my illusion.
%
I'm listening with baited ears.
%
A stitch in time saves oil on troubled waters.
%
He's got the guts to be courageous.
%
It's a fluid thing that can swing on a dime.
%
We're up to our armpits in frozen alligators.
%
We have some outstanding gray areas.
%
It's the straw that broke the ice.
%
He's working like a banshee.
%
I can't get a straight thought in edgewise.
%
Have we been cast a strange eye at?
%
Let a sleeping dog call the kettle black.
%
That's the way the old ball game bounces.
%
I have people crawling out of my ears.
%
We got the story post hoc.
%
I've got the fort nailed down.
%
Cheapness doesn't come free.
%
He disappeared from nowhere.
%
Boy, is that decapitated.
%
Don't stick your oar in muddy waters.
%
When in Rome, do as the Romans do: stay away from the place.
%
It's a fiat accompli.
%
We'd better jump under the bandwagon before the train leaves the station.
%
A bachelor's life is no life for a single man.
%
This is a farbarbarism!
%
My foot is going out of its mind.
%
Don't pull a panic button.
%
I'm the top dog lion.
%
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls.
%
You're treading on thin water.
%
You've always been the bone of human kindness.
%
He's salivating at the chops.
%
We're caught between a rock and a wet spot.
%
Let's look at it from the other side of the view.
%
I don't want to throw a wrench in the ointment.
%
Don't cut off your ass to spite your face.
%
In one nose, out the other.
%
He's seething at the teeth.
%
This will shock you nude.
%
It's a new high in lows.
%
They just want to chew the bull.
%
He's a splitting image of the candidate.
%
His eyeballs perked up.
%
He's stone blind.
%
Get the hot poop right off the vine.
%
Keep this under your vest.
%
It may seem incredulous, but it's true.
%
It's your turn in the apple cart.
%
It goes from one gamut to another.
%
I'm not trying to grind anybody's axes.
%
HE doesn't look like he has a scruple in his head.
%
He's a key cog in the ointment.
%
He's a real squash buckler.
%
There's a strong over current here.
%
I'm signing my own death knell.
%
You're barking  up the wrong tree stump.
%
My ears are ringing off the wall.
%
They're breathing down our nose.
%
I'm losing pens like they were dishwater.
%
They fell all over their faces.
%
I need to get my ass together.
%
Any golden parachute in a storm.
%
She's greasing her own spoon.
%
Don't rattle the cage that bites you.
%
Let's go outside and commiserate with nature.
%
He reminds me of Zorba the Geek.
%
It's a tempest in a teacup.
%
This is for your FYI.
%
If you're waiting for Hell to freeze over, you're skating on thin ice.
%
That was almost half done unconsciously.
%
That's a measle-worded statement if I ever heard one.
%
Beware a horse weaving a Trojan blanket.
%
If you'd let me, I'd forget the shirt off my back.
%
That would drive him right out of his banana.
%
One does not want to let the government's nose under the camel.
%
They've got the bull by the tail now.
%
We don't want a neophyte we have to wet nurse.
%
It plunged all over the place.
%
I have to get my act in gear.
%
He's too smart for his own bootstraps.
%
Everything's all ruffled over.
%
That sure takes the steam out of the sails.
%
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
%
I'm wimping at the seams.
%
I'm ground up to a high pitch.
%
I guess I'm putting all my birds in one pie.
%
The importance of that cannot be underestimated.
%
Give him a square shake.
%
Put your knuckles to the grindstone.
%
I can do it with one eye tied behind me.
%
Let's stop beating around a dead horse and cut right to the mustard.
%
It's going to go up the tubes.
%
Nobody could fill his socks.
%
I'm going to blow their socks out of the water.
%
That makes me as mad as a wet hatter.
%
There's a missing gap somewhere.
%
Now we have some chance to cut new water.
%
The system got caught with its pants down.
%
She could charm the door knobs off the top of a temple.
%
That doesn't cut any weight with him.
%
That aspect permutes the whole situation.
%
I'm Pepto-bilious.
%
I'm up against a blind wall.
%
I'd as soon wipe my nose with a pot holder as get in bed with him.
%
Necessity is the mother of strange bed linen.
%
They closed the doors after the barn was stolen.
%
It was an infringement of my imagination.
%
Better sorry than safe.
%
I'm going right out of my bonker.
%
You're a sore sight for eyes.
%
It peaked my interest.
%
There's a lot of blanche here to carte.
%
They're like two chick peas in a pod.
%
It's a tough road to haul.
%
The eggs we put all in one basket have come home to roost.
%
Don't oil your feathers with troubled water.
%
I'm just about to lose my gourd.
%
I wouldn't throw a wet blanket on a cold turkey if I were you.
%
He's barking down the wrong tree.
%
It's a sight to make your eyes water.
%
This makes me so sore it gets my dandruff up.
%
Get off the stick and do something.
%
Sometimes fact is stranger than truth.
%
I'm up to my earballs in garbage.
%
It's the blind leading the deaf.
%
He's trying to get his bearing together.
%
They're germs in the rough.
%
It's not my cup of pie.
%
Peanut butter jelly go together hand over fist.
%
He's singing a little off-keel.
%
I can smell the finish line.
%
That's way down in the chicken feed.
%
I don't always play with a full house of cards.
%
It's not that kind of zero.
%
That's a different cup of fish.
%
It's under closed doors.
%
Screwed by my own petard, as it were.
%
The lights are so bright the air is opaque.
%
If we keep going this way, somebody is going to be left standing at the church with his pants on.
%
They've done that before and in the past.
%
He's as happy as clam chowder.
%
I heard it out of the corner of my ear.
%
You hit it right on the nail.
%
I was thinking out of the corner of my eye.
%
I had to make a split decision.
%
It's a small weenie in the fast-food restaurant of life.
%
He's spending a lot of brunt on the task.
%
I want to get more fire into the iron.
%
I don't know what else I can do ... my shoes are tied.
%
I'm mad enough to fry a wet hen.
%
It's going to fall on its ass from within.
%
He's off in a cloud of "hearty heigh-ho Silver".
%
It's the bird song of paradise.
%
You're eating like wildfire.
%
If there's no fire, don't make waves.
%
You should talk to her; she's a mind field of information.
%
He's somewhere down wind of the innuendo.
%
Speaking off the hand, I'd advise you to quit.
%
Don't open Pandora's can of worms.
%
He's as ugly as Godzilla the Hun.
%
Don't throw a monkey wrench into the apple cart.
%
Let me take you under my thumb.
%
Don't pull out the rug from under the horses in midstream.
%
Vision is in the eyes of the beholder.
%
The domestic problems are a terrible can of worms.
%
I'm bored stuffless.
%
I'd lose my screw if it wasn't on my head.
%
I'm in my reclining years.
%
All you have to do is fill in the missing blanks.
%
Play one excuse against another.
%
I'm parked somewhere in the boondoggles.
%
They're falling on hollow ears.
%
Don't morbidize me!
%
We are on equally unfooted ground.
%
It's good to get a taste of someone else's moccasins.
%
It caught me out of the blue.
%
All the lemmings are coming home to roost.
%
Let's talk to the horse's mouth.
%
Bend over backwards too far and you'll fall flat on your face.
%
If anything, I bend over on the backwards side.
%
He would forget his head if it weren't screwed up.
%
That's enough to make your sock explode.
%
The world is closing in on my head.
%
Things are going to a hand basket in hell.
%
No loaf is better than half a loaf at all.
%
It's your turn in the bottom of the barrel.
%
Go for the juggler!
%
He doesn't let any moss grow under him.
%
A look from here would melt his socks.
%
He's like a wine glass in a storm.
%
I only mentioned it to give you another side of the horse.
%
Don't count your chickens until the barn door is closed.
%
He doesn't know his hole from an ass in the ground.
%
To be a leader, you have to develop a spear de corps.
%
He's king bee.
%
Don't pour troubled oil into the water.
%
That report reads like a bleached whale.
%
Our product will eat the pants off the competition!
%
If they do it there won't be a living orgasm left.
%
I apologize on cringed knees.
%
It's an ill wind that doesn't dry someone's clothes.
%
It's going to bog everybody up.
%
Right off the top of my cuff, I don' know what to say.
%
He has an agenda to grind.
%
I've had more girls than you've got hair between your teeth.
%
They've got their heads squirreled upside down.
%
Put it in a guinea sack.
%
He's bailing him out of the woods.
%
Don't kiss a gift horse in the mouth.
%
I'm torn between a rock and a hard place.
%
It's all above and beyond board.
%
Your ass is going to be mud.
%
We might as well be hanged for an inch as for a mile.
%
He has his ass on the wrong end of his head.
%
It's the sine quo non of necessity.
%
The restaurants are terrible -- the town is completely indigestible.
%
I have the mind of a steel trap.
%
This business is being run by bean-pushers.
%
It leaks like a fish.
%
We'll put our mouth where our money is.
%
Not by the foggiest stretch of the imagination!
%
Don't throw feathers on oily water.
%
We're on the foreskin of modern technology.
%
I'm just about out of my bonker.
%
His position is not commiserate with his abilities.
%
Come down off your charlie horse.
%
Do you have your screws on right?
%
That's going to be the gravy on the cake!
%
I'm creaking at the seams.
%
We'd better toe the yard arm.
%
When the tough get going they let sleeping does lie.
%
His limitations are limitless.
%
There are two sides to every marshmallow.
%
I threw the tie iron in the fire.
%
They're dropping his course like flies.
%
No dust grows under her feet.
%
Don't let the government's nose under the camel.
%
It's like a raft on roller skates.
%
They've got everything from soup to hairballs.
%
My antipathy runneth over.
%
Don't father-hen me!
%
It's a fool's paradise wrapped in sheep's clothing.
%
Not in a pig's bladder you don't.
%
Don't upset the apple pie.
%
Don't count your high horses before they come home to roost.
%
Every cloud has a blue horizon.
%
Half the lies they tell me aren't true.
%
That's an unexpected surprise.
%
I'll give you a definite maybe.
%
Don't throw the baby out with the dishwasher.
%
A woman has no hell like a fury scorned.
%
I think you might have hit the nail on the button.
%
Let me clarify my fumbling.
%
He's clam bait.
%
He's trying to pull the buffalo over our eyes.
%
I'm going to read between your lines.
%
I can't underestimate how good he is.
%
I think I've lost my bonkers.
%
I heard it out of the corner of my eye.
%
It's the holy grail of naughtiness.
%
The autumn leaves are in full bloom.
%
See the forest through the trees.
%
It's enough to drive a bat up the wall.
%
Get that albatross off his back!
%
I'm all raveled up.
%
We'd be biting off a new can of worms.
%
Fellow alumni run thicker than water.
%
We have a wild card in the soup.
%
I reject it out of the whole cloth.
%
It's as easy as falling off a piece of cake.
%
She's trying to feather her own bush.
%
You can't feed old tricks to a new dog.
%
They don't work worth lima beans.
%
I'm not going to bail him out of his own juice.
%
He puts his pants on two legs at a time like everyone else.
%
That throws a monkey wrench in the soup.
%
He wears his finger on his sleeve.
%
There's nothing like stealing the barn door after the horse is gone.
%
If you don't want words put in your mouth, don't leave it hanging open.
%
He has his crutches around her throat.
%
They are very far and few between.
%
They're spreading like wild flowers.
%
They're over the pale.
%
That's a horse of a different feather.
%
She's got it up to her ears.
%
We were looking out for our own bootstraps.
%
Let's not hurdle into too many puddles at once.
%
I worked my toes to the bonenail.
%
Today I was singing 'Snowflakes roasting on an open file'.
%
He's as elusive as the abdominal snowman.
%
I resent the insinuendoes.
%
This wine came from a really great brewery.
%
He didn't flinch an eyelid.
%
It's a tour de farce.
%
It's a virgin field pregnant with possibilities.
%
There's a little life in the old shoe yet.
%
Don't sink the boat that lays the golden egg.
%
Don't criticize him for lack of inexperience.
%
That restaurant is so crowded no one goes there anymore.
%
Go ahead; I'm all ear lobes.
%
It's too much for it's own boots.
%
I'm so hungry I could eat a cannibal.
%
We won't turn a deaf shoulder to the problem.
%
We're biting ourselves in the foot.
%
He's been living off his laurels for years.
%
Have the seeds we've sown fallen on deaf ears?
%
The people are too nameless to number.
%
Just remember that, and then forget it.
%
That's not my sack of worms.
%
I owe you a great gratitude of thanks.
%
It's so unbelievable you wouldn't believe it.
%
You're barking up the wrong lamp post.
%
He's foot sure and fancy free.
%
I'm as happy as a clambake.
%
An ounce of prevention is better than pounding the table.
%
It's the other end of the kettle of fish.
%
I'm weighted down with baited breath.
%
It's like finding hen's teeth in August.
%
I've built enough fudge into that factor.
%
He has the courage of a second-story man.
%
That puts the onus on the other shoe.
%
Get off your Little red Riding Hood.
%
The seeds I've sown have come home to roost.
%
Let it slip between the cracks.
%
We have to read between the tea leaves.
%
I'm losing touch by leaps and bounds.
%
Let's get down to brass facts.
%
I have too many cooks in the pot already.
%
I'm the happiest little clam in the fritter.
%
It's no sweat off my nose.
%
I'm going off tangentially.
%
One back scratches another.
%
I wouldn't trust her to throw out the baby with the bath water.
%
The horse is stolen before the barn even gets its door closed.
%
I had her by the nap of the neck.
%
That's spilt water under the bridge.
%
Abandon ship, all ye who enter here.
%
I'm right on the edge of my rope.
%
That makes the hair on the back of my neck really stick in my craw.
%
There's laughing on the outside, paneling on the inside.
%
A lot of these arguments are fetious.
%
I've had it up to the hilt.
%
He's like Godzilla the Hun.
%
I'm too uptight for my own bootstraps.
%
Rolling toads gather no moss.
%
We need to retain our strategic disadvantage.
%
Don't look a gift horse in the left foot.
%
All my lemmings came home to roost.
%
They make strange bedfellows together.
%
Don't look for a gift in the horse's mouth.
%
You put all your eggs before the horse.
%
This mess would make Humpty Dumpty bleed.
%
There's some trash to be separated from the chaff.
%
Look at the camera and say 'bird'.
%
If King Tut were still alive, we'd be dead meat.
%
You pay through the noodle for it.
%
There are just too many hands to feed.
%
I had to scratch in the back recesses of my memory.
%
I'll be there in the next foreseeable future.
%
He's the king of queens.
%
I's got rats in his belfry.
%
I wouldn't do it for a ton of bricks.
%
Not on your bootstraps!
%
He's the kind of guy that doesn't like it when anything out of the abnormal happens.
%
They're very far and few between.
%
I had a monumental idea last night, but I didn't like it.
%
I can't hum a straight tune.
%
I'm on my last nerve with that person.
%
It hit me to the core.
%
You have to take the bitter with the sour.
%
Actually, I'm a day owl.
%
Let a dead horse rest.
%
Dot your t's and cross your i's.
%
We better cover our ass and put it on their heads.
%
Time and tide strike but once.
%
You need some hair of the chicken.
%
Things are getting a little sloppy around the gills.
%
I'm pulling something over on you.
%
There's one difficult apple in the barrel.
%
It's spearing like wildflowers!
%
It's a silk purse stuffed with sow's ears.
%
I put the onus entirely on my own shoes.
%
There's more than one way to swing a cat.
%
I want to see the play like a hole in the head.
%
I've been eating peanuts like they were coming out of my ears.
%
I think that we are making an out-and-out molehill of this issue.
%
I think the real crux is the matter.
%
If they had to stand on their own two feet, they would have gone down the drain a long time ago.
%
Better safe than sadistic.
%
I'm sitting on the edge of my ice.
%
Don't pull an enigma on me.
%
He's riding the crest of his momentum.
%
Don't burn your bridges until you come to them.
%
For a change, the foot is on the other sock.
%
It will take a while to ravel down.
%
I would imagine he chafes a bit.
%
They're a bunch of pushers and shavers.
%
It's another millstone in the millpond of life.
%
It goes from tippy top to tippy bottom.
%
He can't hack the other can of worms.
%
He's not breathing a muscle.
%
Everything is going all bananas.
%
Don't let the camels get their feet in the door.
%
It's a Byzantine thicket of quicksand.
%
Don't rock the boat that feeds you.
%
She makes Atilla the Nun look like the Virgin Mary.
%
He's got a rat's nest by the tail.
%
They've beaten the bushes to death.
%
He's up a creek with his paddles leaking.
%
I see several little worms raising their heads around the corner.
%
We have to understand the theoretical tenants here.
%
Part of the verbiage is a language thing.
%
History is just a repetition of the past.
%
That's a pretty dicament.
%
It's a mute point.
%
I have other cats to fry.
%
It looks like it's going to go on ad infinitum for a while.
%
I'll fight to the nail.
%
That's a sight for deaf ears.
%
It's an abomination in sheep's clothing.
%
I haven't bitten off an easy nut.
%
I did it from start to scratch.
%
Don't cast a gander upon the water.
%
They sure dipsied his doodle.
%
He's lying through his britches.
%
The customer is always right-handed.
%
The fruits of our labors are about to be felt.
%
The meaning of the phrase should be clear after some medication.
%
If they do that, they'll be committing suicide for the rest of their lives.
%
Don't cast doubts on troubled waters.
%
Hair balls of the world, unite!
%
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
%
And I take the blunt of it!
%
I'm getting my revenge back.
%
I wouldn't take it for granite, if I were you.
%
Too many cooks call the kettle black.
%
Good grace is in the eye of the beholder.
%
That old witch gave me the eagle eye.
%
It will spurn a lot of furious action.
%
That would pry the socks off a dead cat.
%
Those are good practices to avoid.
%
I can't remember, but it's right on the tip of my head.
%
Everything is ipso facto.
%
It's hanging out like a sore tongue.
%
They're breathing down my door.
%
We don't want to get enhangled in that either.
%
Take advantage of the carpe diem.
%
Let's play the other side of the coin.
%
That's the whole kettle of fish in a nutshell.
%
The grass is always greener when you can't see the forest for the trees.
%
Tread lightly on the face of the void.
%
It's not really hide nor hair.
%
I have feedback on both sides of the coin.
%
Drop the other foot, for Christ's sake!
%
He's running off at the seams.
%
We're teetering on the edge of the brink.
%
Between these words, fathoms have been said.
%
He might be barking at a red herring.
%
The up-kick of all that will be nothing.
%
In the kingdom of the blind the one-eyed horse is king.
%
He wants to get his nose wet in several areas.
%
There are too many cooks and not enough Indians.
%
It's more than the mind can boggle.
%
He's lost his noodles.
%
Let me transition away.
%
That job is at the bottom of the rung.
%
Don't disgruntle my feathers.
%
The hand is on the wall.
%
I'm tired from being exhausted.
%
We snarled our teeth.
%
That's a whole new ball park.
%
Being able to roll with the punches comes with the territory.
%
That's getting to the crotch of the matter.
%
I can remember everything -- I have a pornographic mind.
%
In one mouth and out the other.
%
Abandon ship all you who enter here!
%
Watch her -- she gets on the stick very quickly.
%
She's masquerading under false pretenses.
%
It's like a knife through hot butter.
%
I'll see it when I believe it.
%
Let's not get ahead of the bandwagon.
%
To coin a cliche, let's have at them.
%
He behaves louder than words.
%
I'll hit him right between the teeth.
%
There's a rotten apple in every barrel.
%
There's only so many times you can beat a dead horse.
%
Would you please cast a jaundiced gander at this?
%
I only read it in snips and snabs.
%
I'm going to put a little variety in your spice of life.
%
Let's roll up our elbows and get to work.
%
I wouldn't give you a pound of belly-button lint for that.
%
Get on with the bandwagon, or get out of the pot.
%
He's running around like a head with its chicken cut off.
%
Let them hang in their own juice.
%
The initiative is on the wrong foot.
%
I thought I'd fall out of my gourd.
%
Never judge a book by its contents.
%
Heads will fry over this.
%
He has the attention span of a fig newton.
%
There must be a Godzilla of those things in there!
%
This town is too big for both of us.
%
Necessity is a mother.
%
That'll fry the socks off your feet.
%
Friends don't let friends drive them to drink.
%
More and more people are asking for fewer and fewer pieces of the pie.
%
Anybody who marries her would stand out like a sore thumb.
%
It's like pulling hen's teeth.
%
He couldn't see his way out of a paper bag.
%
It's like talking to a needle in a haystack.
%
In one follicle, out the other.
%
I don't feel like the sharpest button on the beach today.
%
We're going to where we're going.
%
I'll keep my nose peeled.
%
He got taken right through the nose.
%
He rules with an iron thumb.
%
It sounds like roses to my ears.
%
That really took the steam out of their sails.
%
Never accept an out-of-state sanity check.
%
It dates back to the Holy Roller Empire.
%
Better never than late.
%
I don't want to cast a pall on the water.
%
He may be the greatest piece of cheese that ever walked down the plank.
%
Give him an inch and he'll screw you.
%
There's a war in my ointment.
%
Strike while the cat is hot.
%
I wouldn't want to be sitting in his shoes.
%
I see the carrot at the end of the tunnel.
%
Too many chiefs spoil the soup.
%
Don't pour oil on troubled feathers.
%
It's music to your eyes.
%
I need to find out where his head is coming from.
%
He's an incremental creep.
%
We're scraping the bottom of the iceberg.
%
Don't jump on a ship that's going down in flames.
%
Let him try this in his own petard!
%
The next time I take you anywhere, I'm leaving you at home.
%
My train of thought went out to lunch.
%
Medicate on it.
%
I don't know which dagger to clothe it in.
%
Feather your den with somebody else's nest.
%
My head is twice its size.
%
A lot of things are going to be bywashed.
%
I was working my balls to the bone.
%
It gets grained into you.
%
Cut bait and talk turkey.
%
I got you by the nap of your neck.
%
He's too clever for his own bananas.
%
Pick them up from their bootstraps.
%
He's as loony as a jay bird.
%
He was running around like a person with his chicken cut off.
%
I'd better get my horse on it's ass.
%
My gourd is up a tree.
%
He was hoisted by a skyhook on his own petard!
%
I listen with a very critical eye.
%
It was nothing. You planted the seed and I ran with it.
%
I have an open mind — like a sieve.
%
You're blowing it all out of context.
%
It's crumbling at the seams.
%
I was treading on silk gloves.
%
I have post-naval drip.
%
He out-positioned me.
%
They just want to shoot the fat.
%
This befalls on all of us.
%
I'm casting the dye on the face of the water.
%
Do it now, before the worm turns.
%
You're skating on thin eggs.
%
It's about as satisfactory as falling off a log.
%
If you want to be heard, go directly to the horse's ear.
%
We're treading on new water.
%
He was a living legend when he was still alive.
%
Pour midnight oil on troubled waters.
%
Were you by yourself or alone?
%
He didn't even bat an eyebrow.
%
For all intensive purposes, the act is over.
%
They kicked the tar out of our ass.
%
She had a missed conception.
%
We have achieved a wide specter of support.
%
I wouldn't marry her with a twenty-foot pole.
%
All the lemmings are going home to roost.
%
He's the best programmer east of the Mason-Dixon line.
%
I'm throwing those ideas to you off the top of my hat.
%
She was sitting there with an insidious look on her face.
%
I'm running around like a one-armed paper bandit.
%
That'll rattle your socks.
%
We need an escape goat.
%
You have to bite the bullet, take the bull by the horns and make him face the music.
%
They don't see eye for eye with us.
%
I'm being raped over the coals.
%
It's an off-the-cheek comment.
%
He kicked the nail right in the head.
%
Somebody is going to have to take a forefront here.
%
He's going to fall flat on his feet.
%
I accept it with both barrels.
%
I'm tickled green.
%
She'll fight it tooth and toenail.
%
I'm burning my bridges out from under me!
%
The town is a simmering powder keg.
%
The faculty has cast a jaundiced eye upon the waters.
%
Look up that word in your catharsis!
%
I'm willing to throw my two cents into the fire.
%
Let's throw some feathers on the oily water.
%
I'm ready to go when the bell opens.
%
There's a lot of credibility in that gap!
%
It's a hairy can of worms.
%
She can stew in her own rhubarb.
%
I have to put my knuckles to the grindstone.
%
My mind went blank and I had to wait until the dust cleared.
%
He flipped his cork.
%
Pictures speak louder than words.
%
It's burned to shreds.
%
It's better to be a big fish than a little pond.
%
I could tell you stories that would curdle your hair.
%
He's running from gamut to gamut.
%
I never liked you and I always will.
%
There are more feathers here than there are marbles in a candy store.
%
Don't Chicken-Little me!
%
It went through the palm of my shoe.
%
Half a loaf is better than two in the bush.
%
I'm waiting for her to get enough resultage.
%
Let's get our signals crossed before the meeting.
%
That's a project of a different horse.
%
They descended on me like a hoar of locust.
%
I know those woods like the back of my head.
%
I sloughed it under the rug.
%
That's a matter for sore eyes.
%
I can meet your objections.
%
Don't cut off the limb you've got your neck strung out on.
%
They're working their bones off.
%
Don't throw ruffled feathers on troubled water.
%
He's being shifted from shuttle to cock.
%
It's as dry as dish water.
%
He needs to get blown out of his water.
%
We worked at a meticulous pace.
%
Don't discombonbulate the apple cart.
%
I've got applicants up to the ears.
%
We're biting our foot to spite our nose.
%
I contributed to the charity of my cause.
%
Shit or cut bait.
%
He's tossing symbols around like a percussionist in a John Philip Sousa band.
%
Let's grab the initiative by the horns.
%
He's a nut-cake.
%
They wrecked havoc in the kitchen.
%
I'm not my keeper's brother.
%
Old habits die young.
%
Are there any problems we haven't beat out to death?
%
He's as fruity as a loon.
%
He's crazier than Jude's fruitcake.
%
They're eating out of our laps.
%
We pulled the cork on Pandora's Box.
%
I'm so proud of myself I could pop a hissy.
%
He's a young peeksqueek.
%
You can lead a pig to pearls, but you can't make a sow's ear drink.
%
They's chomping their lips at the prospect.
%
I was bleeding like a pig stuck in a trough.
%
I'm looking at it with a jaundiced ear.
%
I'm waiting for him to drop the other foot.
%
I'm as happy as a clam in pig broth.
%
I won't cow-tail to anyone.
%
I'd like to strike while the inclination is hot.
%
A little hindsight is forethought.
%
Their attitude is to let lying dogs sleep.
%
They rolled their eyebrows at me.
%
In this vein I will throw out another item for Pandoras' box.
%
The fervor is so deep you can taste it.
%
Each day I never cease to be amazed.
%
We are paying for the sins of serenity.
%
If you listen in the right tone of voice, you'll hear what I mean.
%
I need to glue my nose to the grind stone.
%
It's about 15 feet as the eye flies.
%
Getting him to do anything is like pulling hen's teeth.
%
They're colder than blue blazes.
%
Please don't leave me out with the wolves to dry!
%
Don't blow a hissie.
%
I'm a mere fragment of my imagination.
%
They went after him tooth and fang.
%
The ball is in the other person's lap.
%
I don't care if the rain don't shine.
%
I don't want to violate anyone's toenails.
%
Jesus died to save our sins.
%
He's as crazy as a fruitcake.
%
It was an unintentional accident.
%
Let's raise our horizons.
%
They laid their guts on the line.
%
She'll whine bloody murder.
%
Let sleeping dogs bite the hand that feeds them.
%
I'd better jack up my bootstraps and get going.
%
You're opening a complete can of Pandora's worms there.
%
There's less money in the pie than there used to be.
%
There's always a rotten monkey in every barrel.
%
He's screw-loose and fancy free.
%
He rammed it down their ears.
%
Don't push the envelope over the edge of the cliff.
%
It's the greatest thing since fired whiskey.
%
It's a fine-feathered kettle of fish.
%
I don't want to stick my hand in the mouth that's feeding me.
%
He faded out of anonymity.
%
No moss grows on his stone.
%
Don't put all you irons on the fire in one pot.
%
Don't look a Trojan horse in the mouth.
%
I'm within a hairshirt of being done.
%
I come to you on bended bootstrap.
%
He puts his heads on one neck at a time.
%
He's got so much zap he can barely twitch.
%
There's more than one way to lick a cat.
%
He's guilty of obfuscation of justice.
%
This thing kills me to the bone.
%
I'm losing my gourd.
%
Don't through midnight candles on oily water.
%
I'm just a cog in the wheel.
%
He faked a bluff.
%
Just use your own excretion.
%
You're going to have fun whether you like it or not.
%
You're scraping the top of the barrel.
%
Anything he wants is a friend of mine.
%
That's the straw that broke the camel's hump.
%
Pledge now and join the list of growing members.
%
Don't buy a greased pig in a poke.
%
He's the last straw on the camel's back to be called.
%
After that, we'll break our gums on the computer.
%
He threw an extra wrench into the pot.
%
I'm going to take my vendetta out on them.
%
He and his group are two different people.
%
He was hoisted by his own canard.
%
You get more for your mileage that way.
%
We're overpaying him, but he's worth it.
%
Well, it's no skin off my teeth.
%
He has his foot in the pie.
%
There was danger lurking under the tip of an iceberg.
%
Those guys weld a lot of power.
%
There is some milk of contention between us.
%
You can't clothe a sow's ear in a silk gown.
%
If you want to get your jollies off, watch this!
%
Don't bury your bridges before you cross them.
%
Sometimes you've just got to grab the cow by the tail and face the music.
%
When you're jumping on sacred cows, you've got to watch your step.
%
Its coming down like buckets outside.
%
If you're sick, you'd better not come in. I don't want you to start an academic.
%
Let he who casts the first stone cast it in concrete.
%
I'm not going to beat a dead horse to death.
%
Who needs mental health when you can have Prozac?
%
Too many drinks spoil the broth.
%
It's a hairy banana.
%
They're coming farther between.
%
If you ask him he could wax very quickly on that subject.
%
I'm pissed out of my bootstraps.
%
We have to make sure we're all swimming on the same page.
%
That's water under the dam.
%
I need to get my high horse in gear.
%
They're moving as fast as molasses wheels.
%
Today was like the day Rome was built in; we can't afford to have any fiddlers.
%
It's raining like a bandit.
%
There's a flaw in the ointment.
%
Don't put all your flamingos in one basket.
%
I'm deathly curious.
%
Take care of two stones with one bird.
%
You take the chicken and run with me.
%
I'd rather be tight than right.
%
Don't strike any bells while the fire is hot.
%
It's a mare's nest of rat nests.
%
He's running around like a chicken with his ass cut off.
%
He has feet of molasses.
%
They also wait who only stand and stare.
%
He's got a lot of fires to burn.
%
I have to get my guts up.
%
I don't have any monkey wrenches in my closet.
%
A sock in time saves none.
%
It's perfect, but it will have to do.
%
I'll be there with spades one.
%
Make hay while the apple is ripe.
%
That puts the icing on the kibosh.
%
Don't look a door knocker in the nose.
%
People who live in glass houses should be the last ones to throw the first stone.
%
All good things come to pass.
%
We're cooking on all cylinders.
%
We have a real messy ball of wax.
%
I'm going to clean your cake!
%
He's like sheep in a bullpen.
%
A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.
%
Don't rock the boat that launched the cat.
%
I haven't gotten the knack down yet.
%
Don't throw out the baby with the sheep dip.
%
This is a magnitude of the first water.
%
There's a lot of bad blood in the water between those two.
%
Godzilla, the Hun.
%
I'm just a hog loose in the woodwork.
%
The egg is cracked and there's no way to scramble it.
%
Cast an eyeball over troubled waters.
%
Don't make a tempest out of a teapot.
%
I'm as happy as a pig at high tide.
%
I don't like the feel of this ball of wax.
%
He's restoring order to chaos.
%
I'm soaked to the teeth.
%
Don't worry, I've got an ace up my hole.
%
We've been eating our hump for a long time.
%
He doesn't know A from Z.
%
Let me say a word before I throw in the reins.
%
He takes to water like a duck takes to tarmac.
%
If the sock fits, wear it.
%
They're grasping for needles.
%
Don't kill the gander that laid the golden egg.
%
Thanks giving is early this year because the first Thursday fell on a Monday.
%
He's running around like a bull with his head cut off.
%
That opens up a whole other kettle of songs.
%
He screwed himself into a corner.
%
They run like flies when he comes near.
%
It's an ill wind that doesn't blow somebody.
%
Your socks are toast!
%
He's getting pretty down in the tooth.
%
I'm not sure we're all speaking from the same sheet of music.
%
A penny saved is worth two in the bush.
%
It's a slap in the chaps.
%
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the drain.
%
She's melting out punishment.
%
They locked the door after the house was stolen.
%
Have we gone too fast too far?
%
That was the pan he was flashed in.
%
Don't bite the gift horse.
%
They are straining at nits.
%
He doesn't have the brains God gave a goose egg.
%
Not all the irons in the fire will bear fruit or even come home to roost.
%
Necessity is the invention of strange bedfellows.
%
It's an old hat and a yard wide.
%
It's one more cog in the wheel.
%
I'm flapping at the gills.
%
Put it on the back burner and let it simper.
%
Heads are rolling in the aisles.
%
We got another thing out of it that I want to heave in.
%
It's a home of contention.
%
The foot that rocks the cradle is usually in the mouth.
%
My chicken house has come home to roost.
%
Don't let the skeletons out of the bushes.
%
He's got bells in his batfry.
%
Don't cast an eyeball on the face of the water.
%
Sex is an aphrodisiac.
%
He's on the back of the pecking order.
%
It's enough to make you want to rot your socks.
%
I'm all puckered down.
%
We've got our necks strung out.
%
I'm wound up like a cork.
%
Everything is mutually intertangled.
%
You've got to get the bull by the teeth.
%
Trying to do anything is like a tour de force.
%
We can clean ourselves right up to date.
%
The meeting was a first-class riot squad.
%
This program has many weaknesses, but its strongest weakness remains to be seen.
%
He has a mind like a steel hinge.
%
Is there any place we can pull a chink out of the log jam?
%
Lay a bugaboo to rest.
%
I only hope your every wish is desired.
%
I'll reek the benefits.
%
Misery loves strange bedfellows.
%
Don't look a sawhorse in the mouth.
%
Let's solve two problems with one bird.
%
You ninney-wit!
%
She's got her ass up a tree.
%
I'm as healthy as a stuck pig.
%
Deep water runs in strange ways.
%
That's the whole kit and caboose.
%
I'll buckle my nose down.
%
It's a pot of crock.
%
I heard it out of the corner of my eyes.
%
Every rainbow has a silver lining.
%
I have my neck hung out on an open line.
%
It's like baiting a dead fish.
%
Let's blow out all the stops.
%
We've been sold up stream.
%
His self-esteem doesn't hold water.
%
It's a caterpillar in pig's clothing.
%
Keep your nose to the plow.
%
She's a virgin who has never been defoliated.
%
That really burns my craw!
%
If the harmonica fits, wear it.
%
When crunch comes to shove ...
%
I've gone over the bend.
%
Let's pour some holy water on the troubled feathers.
%
Women don't change their spots.
%
You're barking your shins on the wrong tree.
%
The sock is fried now.
%
There are enough cooks in the pot already.
%
If the onus fits, wear it.
%
I like the cut of your giblets.
%
Have it prepared under my signature.
%
No moss grows under Charlie's rock.
%
His head's too big for his britches.
%
I'm walking on thin water.
%
Run your socks up the flag pole to see if anyone salutes them.
%
I should have stood in bed.
%
It's no skin off my stiff upper lip.
%
He was stark raving nude.
%
In the last year, you've turned around 150%.
%
Somebody pushed the panic nerve.
%
That went through my mind and right out the other nostril.
%
There are too many people in the soup.
%
Before they made him they broke the mold.
%
He's in over his head up to his ass.
%
That was the corker in the bottle.
%
The idea did cross my head.
%
I want to embark upon your qualms.
%
I'm in transit on that point.
%
We're boggled down.
%
I'm working my blood up into a fervor.
%
I'm not going to stand for this lying down.
%
He's as fruity as a loon cake.
%
He said it thumb in cheek.
%
Don't count your Easter eggs before they hatch.
%
Just cool your horses.
%
I rushed around like a chicken out of my head.
%
I want to get to know them on a face-to-name basis.
%
Well, darn my socks!
%
One stitch in nine saves time.
%
Let's put out a smeller.
%
Too many hands spoil the soap.
%
Your wild oats have come home to roost.
%
That fills a lot of gray areas.
%
I'm going to pass it on to my predecessor.
%
I'm going to plant a seed in her ear.
%
We need to offset the gaps in our product line.
%
I'm having a hard time getting my handles around that one.
%
I'm going to hide my nook in a cranny.
%
That took the steam out of my sails.
%
He drinks like a sieve.
%
He doesn't know his ass from his rear end.
%
That's a ball of another wax.
%
I speak only with olive branches dripping from the corners of my mouth.
%
He choked on his own craw.
%
My stomach gets all knotted up in rocks.
%
He's completely lost his gourd.
%
Let's kill two dogs with one bone.
%
I'm going to put my horn in.
%
If the shoe fits, put it in your mouth.
%
The left foot doesn't know what shoe it's in.
%
Don't count your chickens before the barn door is closed.
%
Deep water runs still.
%
We sure pulled the wool over his socks.
%
It's a road of hard knocks.
%
I'm in for the count.
%
That's just putting the gravy on the cake.
%
You can make a prima donna sing, but you can't make her dance.
%
My fuse is running out.
%
He's a real jerk-wad.
%
He's in a class by himself with maybe three or four others.
%
It's an idea whose future is past.
%
We threw everything in the kitchen sink at them.
%
I'm just about to the end of my bee's wax.
%
The skeleton is there; you just have to sharpen it and put the decorations on the tree.
%
You sure take the prize cake.
%
I'm going to take my venom out on you.
%
Hold your cool!
%
I'm a victim of extraneous circumstances.
%
He's fruitier than a nut cake.
%
He's worse than Godzilla the Hun.
%
My tail feathers have dry rot.
%
Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows.
%
You gotta strike while the shoe is hot or the iron may be on the other foot.
%
We haven't found a smoking baton.
%
That's just cutting your throat to spite your face.
%
He was hung by his own bootstraps.
%
The wishbone's connected to the kneebone.
%
I think I've committed a fore paw.
%
This is a case if the pot calling the fruitcake black.
%
Screw the bastards, full speed ahead!
%
It's dressing on the cake.
%
A lot of water has gone over the bridge since then.
%
Don't put all your ducks in one barrel.
%
It might break the straw that holds the camel's back.
%
He's so ego-testicle.
%
Half a brain is better than no loaf at all.
%
Another day, a different dollar.
%
That's like the pot calling the cattle black.
%
You can't judge a book by its contents.
%
Have more discretion in the face of valor.
%
You gotta walk with your pants on.
%
It floated right to the bottom.
%
No rocks grow on Charlie.
%
The early worm catches the fish.
%
Gee, it must have fallen into one of my cracks.
%
He's capable of playing every button on his clarinet.
%
He's as crazy as a bloody loon!
%
He was screwed by his own petard.
%
I'm basking in his shadow.
%
I may not be the brightest light in...the...light drawer!
%
Keep your eyes geared to the situation.
%
It's time to pour on the midnight oil.
%
He's become the real vocal point on this.
%
You can blow it up and down.
%
Let him be rent from limb to limb.
%
Dig a hole and bury it.
%
You have sowed a festering cow pie of suspicion.
%
He's breathing down my throat.
%
There's a lot of bull in the china shop.
%
Gore no ox before its time.
%
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the chicken.
%
I read the sign, but it went in one ear and out the other.
%
I won't kick a gift horse in the mouth.
%
Don't throw the dog's blanket over the horse's nose.
%
There's a vortex swimming around out there.
%
Keep your nose to the mark.
%
He pulled out all the punches.
%
Go fry a kite!
%
He's fuming at the seams.
%
You're not going to get anymore until you've eaten what you've already eaten.
%
I'd like to intersperse a comment.
%
We're out of hear shot.
%
Pour sand on troubled waters.
%
Don't cash in your chips until the shill is down.
%
It's all in knowing when to let a dead horse die.
%
There is no surefool way of proceeding.
%
To all intensive purposes, the cause is lost.
%
Don't rock the status quo.
%
Not in a pig's bladder you don't!
%
Sounds like we're swimming an uphill battle.
%
We've ported it to every platform under the world.
%
You have your oar up the wrong tree.
%
That's money we'll save right off the top of the hat.
%
That curdles my toes.
%
Necessity is the mother of reality.
%
Hindsight is better than a foot in the mouth.
%
He's a wolf in sheep's underwear.
%
It's got all the bugs and whistles.
%
That really burns my goat!
%
He has an utter lack of disregard.
%
Let's get out flamingos in a row.
%
He's faster than a weeping alligator.
%
I'm going to throw myself into the teeth of the gamut.
%
If you can't read minds, don't.
%
Don't look a gift horse in the face.
%
We'll overlook things from top to bottom and bottom to top.
%
That really uprooted the apple cart.
%
A stitch in time wastes nine.
%
We brought this can of worms into the open.
%
It's like a greased pig in a wet blanket.
%
When they go downstairs, you can hear neither hide nor hair of them.
%
An avalanche is nipping at their heels.
%
I worked my bone to a nubbin.
%
We're just going to ad-hoc our way through it.
%
Not in a cocked hat, you don't!
%
That problem is getting pushed into the horizon.
%
He's three socks to the wind.
%
He has a very weak indigestion.
%
He was putrified with fright.
%
Any excuse in a storm.
%
It sure hits the people between the head.
%
Our deal fell through the boards.
%
Don't get your eye out of joint.
%
Together again for the first time.
%
Beware a Trojan bearing a horse.
%
Let him fry in his own juice.
%
Strange bedfellows flock together.
%
A stop-gap measure is better than no gap at all.
%
He's got his tail in really deep.
%
We're getting down to bare tacks.
%
It's not all peaches and gravy.
%
I'm going to down-peddle that aspect.
%
To hell with your hand basket!
%
No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.
%
This field of research is so virginal that no human eye has set foot on it.
%
I gave him a lot of rope and he took it, hook, line, and sinker.
%
You've overgrown your welcome.
%
I don't want to throw another monkey at the wrench right now.
%
He's a fart off the old block.
%
That's obviously a very different cup of fish.
%
I'd have been bent out of shape like spades.
%
They'll dazzle you out of your socks.
%
There's no two ways around it.
%
I don't want to start hurdling profanity.
%
A squeaky wheel gathers no moss.
%
She's madder than a wet hornet.
%
Don't eat with your mouth full.
%
It looks real enough to be artificial.
%
I thought I'd have an aneurism.
%
I have reasonably zero desire to do it.
%
Never feed a hungry dog an empty loaf of bread.
%
We have a wide range of broad-gauge people.
%
There's no point in crying over skim milk.
%
He has a wool of steel.
%
We definitely don't want to nail ourselves into a corner.
%
It's the greatest little seaport in town.
%
I'm not the brightest bean in the hole.
%
There's no place in the bowl for another spoon to stir the broth.
%
It cuts like a hot knife through solid rock.
%
I'll procrastinate when I get around to it.
%
Prices are dropping like flies.
%
He's faster than the naked eye.
%
A lot of people my ages are dead at the present time.
%
I'm going to have an apocalyptic fit.
%
I'm going to scatter them like chaff before the wind.
%
If you're going to break a chicken, you have to scramble a few eggs.
%
They're from out neck of the family.
%
It's not completely an unblessed advantage.
%
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw cow pies.
%
It sticks like sixty.
%
We have to fill the gaff.
%
He has his pot in too many pies.
%
It's always better to be safe than have your neck out on a limb.
%
Don't count your chick peas until they hatch.
%
He's running around with his chicken cut off.
%
We're dislodging some inertia.
%
She's flying off the deep end.
%
Let me throw a monkey into the wrench.
%
I'm just a worm in the ointment.
%
You're preoccupying the bathroom.
%
I'm impressed out of my gourd.
%
We're up to our earballs in garbage.
%
I think I've lost my gourd.
%
He knows which side of his bread his goose is buttered on.
%
A carpenter's son doesn't have shoes.
%
It's a hiatus on the face of the void.
%
We groove in the same ballpark.
%
To the cook goes the broth!
%
He doesn't have the brain to rub two nickels together.
%
He gave me a blanket check.
%
It's within the pall of reason.
%
Hands were made before feet.
%
He was guilty of statuary rape.
%
Let's kick the bucket with a certain amount of daintiness.
%
We can throw a lot of muscle into the pot.
%
It's a travesty on the face of the void.
%
It needs a bad case of washing.
%
The onus is on the other foot.
%
Don't sweep your dirty laundry under the rug.
%
His credentials are too many to mention.
%
Judas Proust!
%
She hit the nail on the nose.
%
I was distracted beyond all recognition.
%
I'm going to scream right out of my gourd.
%
She's too goody-bunny-shoes for me.
%
Never screw a gift-horse in the mouth.
%
I'd kill a dog to bite that man.
%
It's a travesty to the human spirit.
%
He's a real slime-burger.
%
It's the first inauguration of their idea.
%
My impatience is running out.
%
That plant looks cyanotic.
%
We haven't begun to scratch the tip of the iceberg.
%
I don't want to rock the boat whose hand is in the cradle.
%
It's a lot like recumbent DNA.
%
Let's strike the fire before the iron gets hot.
%
He's a wolf in sheep's underware.
%
He's shot in the ass with himself.
%
I put all my marbles in one basket.
%
He's so mad he is spitting wooden nickels.
%
He's a child progeny.
%
He deserves a well-rounded hand of applause.
%
There is one niche in his armor.
%
We need to get over organized.
%
He's going to go up like tinder smoke.
%
It was oozing right out of the lurches.
%
We have a real ball of wax to unravel.
%
I'm a little woozy around the gills.
%
If you want something bad enough, you have to pay the price.
%
He has his priorities screwed on right.
%
My steam is wearing down.
%
I transgressed from the subject.
%
Men, women, and children first!
%
If you're going to break eggs, you have to make an omelette.
%
He's got bees in his belfry.
%
I really took the bull by the hands.
%
I'll sue their pants on backwards.
%
I've milked that dead end for all it's worth.
%
Don't rattle the boat.
%
That puts me up a worse creek.
%
If the shoe is on the other foot, wear it.
%
Things are all up in a heaval.
%
I'm stone cold sane.
%
It happened for the last two hours, including yesterday.
%
It's the highest of the lows.
%
He won't last as long as a crow flies.
%
I won't hang my laurels on it.
%
That solves two stones with one bird.
%
He's a bulldog in a china shop.
%
As long as somebody let the cat out of the bag, we might as well spell it correctly.
%
It's more than magnificent — it's mediocre.
%
Let's wreck havoc!
%
Don't cast any dispersions.
%
It fills a well-needed gap.
%
There is a prolifery of new ideas.
%
I guess that muddled the waters.
%
It's just a matter of sweeping the rug under the carpet.
%
He just sat there like a bump on a wart.
%
The gremlins have gone off to roost on someone else's canard.
%
I'm just about to spring a gasket.
%
It was really amazing to see the spectra of people there.
%
He's foot sore and fancy free.
%
If Calvin Coolidge were alive today, he'd turn over in his grave.
%
I want to see him get a good hands-on feel.
%
There will be fangs flying.
%
How old is your 2-year old?
%
It's as predictable as cherry pie.
%
He's as batty as a fruitcake.
%
Those are not the smartest cookies under the Christmas tree.
%
It puts feathers under my wings.
%
We opened a big ball of worms.
%
The early bird will find his can of worms.
%
That's pushing a dead horse.
%
Nobody is going to give you the world in a saucer.
%
The whole thing is a hairy potpourri.
%
They're dying off like fleas.
%
I'm woefully glad you're here.
%
A hand in the bush is worth two anywhere else.
%
I need to pick up my head and dust it off.
%
I'm as happy as a pig in clam broth.
%
It's hot off the vine.
%
He knows which side his pocketbook is buttered on.
%
Things keep falling out of it, three or four years at a time.
%
No crumbs gather under his feet.
%
I only hear half of what I believe.
%
That will sooth your savage brow.
%
The sink is shipping.
%
I'm beat up around the gills.
%
It's time to take off our gloves and talk from the heart.
%
You're too big for your ass.
%
They're atrophying on the vine.
%
I feel like hell and high water.
%
I said it beneath my breath.
%
That's a different jar of worms.
%
You can't make a silk cow out of a sow.
%
They are unscrupulously honest.
%
I was held up about an hour casting feathers on oily water.
%
He went out in a poof of glory.
%
I'm as happy as a fried clam.
%
I'm creaming off the top of my head.
%
He'll get his neck in hot water.
%
She'll show up if she cares which side her ass is buttered on.
%
He tried to sweep the skeleton under the rug.
%
Does it joggle any bells?
%
Just cut a thin slither of it.
%
We're off in a cloud of hooves.
%
If you can't stand the heat, get off the car hood.
%
That's the whole ball of snakes.
%
Don't leave the nest that feeds you.
%
Things have slowed down to a terrible halt.
%
I'm standing over your shoulder.
%
He has his neck out on a limb.
%
I'll bet there's one guy out in the woodwork.
%
I wouldn't touch that with a glass parrot.
%
Put every marble in its socket.
%
He's sweating like a stuck pig.
%
You can't make a sow's ear out of a silk purse.
%
I'll feather my own mare's nest, thank you!
%
Gander your eye at that!
%
The onus of responsibility lies on his shoulders.
%
The die has been cast on the face of the waters.
%
It makes my chops drool.
%
I'd like to feel you up about taking on the job.
%
Put it on the back of the stove and let it simper.
%
If you can't imitate him, don't copy him.
%
I flew it by ear.
%
He's biting the shaft and getting the short end of the problem.
%
Someone took the steam out of my sails.
%
I never put on a pair of shoes until I've worn then five years.
%
I smell a needle in the haystack.
%
He's got four sheets in the wind.
%
Don't talk with your mouth open.
%
It's a tough nut to hoe.
%
I had to throw in the white flag.
%
Your irons in the fire are coming home to roost.
%
We're dragging out dead skeletons.
%
You just sawed yourself right off my tree.
%
Don't count your marbles before they hatch.
%
It was deja vu all over again.
%
There's more than one way to skin an egg without letting the goose out of the bag.
%
This is an exercise in fertility.
%
I don't give a Ricardo's Montalban what you think.
%
That's the wart that sank the camel's back.
%
Don't rattle the cage that rocks the cradle.
%
We can't get through the forest for the trees.
%
They are pushing us into a panic that does not exist.
%
The analogy is a deeply superficial one.
%
He's sinking to new heights.
%
Right off the top of my hand, I'd say no.
%
Put your mouth where your money is.
%
I'm quaking in my oats.
%
Not over my dead body, you don't!
%
He's as quick as an eyelash.
%
It drove me to no wits end.
%
If not us, when?
%
It costs a Jewish princess's ransom.
%
There're not enough daisies on the chain.
%
It's a typical case of alligator mouth and hummingbird ass.
%
A squeaking hinge gathers no moss.
%
You're barking your shins up the wrong tree.
%
I'll lend you a  jaundiced ear.
%
May I inveigle on you?
%
I looked at it with some askance.
%
His little red wagon came home to roost.
%
We sure pulled the wool over their socks.
%
Picasso wasn't born in a day.
%
Two thoughts but with a single mind.
%
I have other pigs to fry.
%
He's splitting up at the seams.
%
That would have been right up Harry's meat.
%
It's a useful ace in the pocket.
%
The screws of progress grind fine.
%
By the time we unlock the bandages, he will have gone down the drain.
%
Let me feast your ears.
%
My mind is a vacuum of information.
%
He doesn't know which side his head is buttered on.
%
I want half a cake and eat it too.
%
We have the whole gambit to select from.
%
We got on board at ground zero.
%
Someone is going to be left in the church with his pants on.
%
Make haste while the snow falls.
%
I could count it on the fingers of one thumb.
%
Let's not drag any more dead herrings across the garden path.
%
They were hunkering for a shut out.
%
That's a tough nut to carry on your back.
%
When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and jump off.
%
He's as happy as a pig at high tide.
%
I gave him a real mouthful.
%
He had the eyes of a bat.
%
This is a really tough wretchimen.
%
Straighten up or fly right.
%
Do it now; don't dingle-dally over it.
%
I've got other socks to fry.
%
He is as dishonest as the day is long.
%
A dog under any other coat is still a dog.
%
Dishwater is duller than he is.
%
A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
%
Any kneecap of yours is a friend of mine.
%
We're revisiting deja vu.
%
It' not an easy thing to get your teeth around.
%
I'm going to take a hiatus.
%
I'm willing to listen to the other side of the coin.
%
Put that in your teapot and smoke it!
%
You can't break an egg without making an omelette.
%
It causes my goose to bump.
%
He's downstream from upstage.
%
They sucked all the cream off the crop.
%
I'm collapsing around the seams.
%
It's time for me to get my high-horse on.
%
Is he gay or an omnivore?
%
Nothing is good enough for our customers.
%
This work was the understatement of the year.
%
I'm as happy as a clam in pig's broth.
%
There are a lot of areas for efficiency reduction.
%
I'll take any warm body in a storm.
%
It's like asking a man to stop eating in the middle of a starvation diet.
%
He'll grease any palm that will pat his ass.
%
He has a good mind, if only we could light a fire under it.
%
This bit of casting oil on troubled feathers is more than I can take.
%
He opened up that can of worms, let him swim in them.
%
It's a mecca of people.
%
I think he's gone over the bend.
%
He's within eyeshot of shore.
%
It's a white herring.
%
She's got a bee in her bonnet and just won't let it go.
%
The Albatross of Damocles is hanging over your neck.
%
Boulder dash!
%
It's a terrible crutch to bear.
%
He has a dire need, actually it's half-dire, but he thinks it's double-dire.
%
The circuit breaker just kicked in.
%
I'll take a few pegs out of his sails.
%
Somebody should have waved a flag louder than they did.
%
It's not my Diet of Worms.
%
He has a brain for a rhubarb.
%
It's the old Paul Revere bit . . . one if by two and two if by one.
%
He reads memos with a fine tooth comb.
%
That's their apple cart, let them choke on it.
%
Take it with a block of salt.
%
Where there's smoke, there're mirrors.
%
This game is a punctuation point.
%
We're trying very hard to maintain the high road.
%
It's as dry as mud.
%
I march to a different kettle of fish.
%
This manure must be stopped dead in its tracks.
%
He's a lion in a den of Daniels.
%
The ideas sprang full-blown from the hydra's heads.
%
We'll see what comes down the tubes.
%
Put all your money where your marbles are.
%
Each of us sleazes by at our own pace.
%
I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong.
%
I enjoy his smiling continence.
%
We don't want to stick our necks out and get our asses chopped off.
%
Just because it's there, you don't have to mount it.
%
Sometimes things just gag me the wrong way.
%
Don't jump off the handle.
%
That'll blow the socks off the cat.
%
My laurels have come home to roost.
%
Don't feed the hand that bites you.
%
He's trying to domestify you.
%
We don't want to go at it like a wild bull in Chinatown.
%
I'm sweating like a greased pig.
%
I have the self-discipline of a mouse.
%
It's not the only bowl of fish in the ocean.
%
Step up to the plate and fish or cut bait.
%
He's a clod of the first water.
%
That sure muddles the water.
%
I'd avoid him like sixty.
%
I'll be ready just in case a windfall comes down the pike.
%
That was like getting the horse before the barn.
%
Let's lurch into the next hour of the show.
%
A lot of wine has gone under the bridge since we last met.
%
They unspaded some real down to earth data.
%
I'll keep my eyes out in case I hear anything.
%
There were foot-high puddles.
%
He got his socks off on it.
%
We need to do it ex-post-hasto.
%
Stick that in your hat and smoke it!
%
He's doing a great job in spades.
%
May the wind at your back never be your own.
%
I wish somebody could drop the other foot.
%
Some bigger fish knocked on the door, wanting to be fried.
%
He doesn't have an ox to grind.
%
When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you.
%
My dog was pent up all day.
%
I'm sticking my neck out on a ledge.
%
There's more intelligence in this town than you can shake a stick at.
%
Let me see if I have my eggs on straight.
%
I'm scared out of my witless.
%
I've been burning the midnight hours.
%
Wait until the cows come home to roost!
%
He's letting ground grow under his feet.
%
It's right on the tip of my head.
%
Let's set up a straw vote and knock it down.
%
I just got indicted into the Hall of Fame.
%
Let me throw a monkey wrench in the ointment.
%
He's casting a red herring on the face of the water.
%
By a streak of coincidence, it really happened.
%
Stick that in your peace pipe and smoke it.
%
Those people have no bones to grind.
%
He's sharp as a whip.
%
Just say whatever pops into your mouth.
%
Sounds like it's time to sever the apron string.
%
She's just another chick in the china shop.
%
It's not going to rock any apple carts.
%
It's the old chicken-in-the-egg problem.
%
That curdles the milk of human kindness.
%
A whole hog is better than no hole at all.
%
I keep stubbing my shins.
