You are preaching to the convertible
When your chips are against the wall
Silent as a lamb
It’s a doggy dog world
All pumps on deck
I rest my piece
Throw a spanner in the ointment
Both a blessing and a sin
You’re skating on thin egg shells
Going off-pissed
Don’t outlive your stay
Money doesn’t grow on fish
Until the cows freeze over
Putting both legs in one basket
I hear your pain
Blood is thicker than Walter
Flogging a dead cat
Quit while the iron’s hot
The writing on the cake
What a pavlova
He looks like Jeff warmed up
If the worst comes to the scenario
Getting on like a car on fire
Air on the side of caution
Not the sharpest crayon in the drawer
Until the cows come home to roost
The final foot in the coffin
For all intensive purposes
Skating close to the wind
I know my noodles
Battered about the face like a stinking fish
Falling on dead ears
We’ve got to get our legs wrapped around that
You can hide but you can’t run
Grim and bear it
Battle a losing fight
If it’s broke, don’t fix it
It’s like burning cats
I trust you with open arms
Making a mountain out of a mould hill
The wrong end of the script
The smartest tool in the room
The short end of the straw
Fiesta resistance
On a hiding to nowhere
I’m a bit of a lone fish
A Spaniard in the works
Teaching a dog to suck eggs

Victim phrases, phrases giving advice, exasperating phrases,…
A different kettle of ballparks
The best thing since sliced wheels
Barking up a dead tree
Resistance is fertile
Strike while you’re ahead
They treated me like a Leopard
It’s not rocket surgery
Chew the breeze
Jack the halls
Don’t bite a gifthorse in the mouth
I don’t want to put your back out of joint
The end of the straw
