Down in the mouth
Leading edge or cutting edge
You don't believe that fat meat is greasy
Hoist by his own petard
To the bitter end
You bet!
Chew him out
Mare's nest
I love being free, it's the best way to be
Hang in there
Clear as mud
Clean as a hound's tooth
Quick on the draw
Lightning strikes twice
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades Catbird seat
Lay there like a beached whale
Dead right
Pour the baby out with the bathwater Turnofthetide
Horney as a two peckered mink
Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am!
Rise and shine
The quiet before the storm
