IDIOMS IN THIS VIDEO:
Devil is beating his wife Toffee nosed
In your birthday suit Cat’s paw
Turn a blind eye
Catch 22
Hobson’s choice
Bring home the bacon
French leave
Lock, stock and barrel
Gordian knot
On tenterhooks
Banana republic
To sleep with the fishes
Bees knees
Like a shag on a rock
To lead to the altar
Graveyard shift
Kitty corner
To buy a lemon
Wet behind the ears
The sword of Damocles
When pigs fly
Raining cats and dogs
Jump on the bandwagon
Throw in the towel
Hit the sack
Cutting corners
Apple of discord
Cupboard love
Sticky fingers
Pay lip service
Alphabet soup
Chip on one’s shoulder
Donkey’s years
In the pink
Rome was not built in a day
To kick the bucket
Step up the plate
Left handed compliment
Fight tooth and nail
A paper tiger
go against the grain
Back in saddle
Red letter day
Left no stone unturned
Cloven hoof
As the crow flies
Rain on the new bride’s parade
Got cold feet
Fit as fiddle
Out of the woods
At a snail’s pace
Cold shoulder
Make a beeline
Left in the lurch
Of the first water
Be the devil’s advocate
To pigeon hole
The dog days
Cost a bomb
My two cents
You snooze, you loose
Yellow journalism
Loaves and fishes
Get up on the wrong side of the bed
Finger in every pie
To gird up the loins
In a nutshell
Aid and abet
Pipe dream
On shank’s mare
To flog a dead horse
Stir up a hornet’s nest
All over hell’s half acre
Up in arms
At the drop of a hat
Rare bird
Wild and woolly
Spin your wheels
Reap the whirlwind
Be in the red
Play one’s ace
Up against the wall
Ruffle somebody’s feather
Paper over the cracks
Asleep at the wheel
Feel at sea
To get the ball rolling
On the horizon
Apple of one’s eye
Blow one’s own trumpet
Chicken hearted
Blind alley
To take the bull by the horns
See eye to eye
Lend an ear
Foot the bill
Call a spade a spade
To fall on deaf ears
Face the music
Take to task
Rule the roost
Excuse my French
Tie the knot
Spill the beans
Hold your horses
Wild goose chase
Unser the weather
Call it a day
Be on the breadline
Snake in the grass
Through thick and thin
Grin from ear to ear
Needle in a haystack
Touch and go
The whole nine yards
A sea change
Icing on the cake
It’s Greek to me
A lot on your plate
Mellow out
Run wild
Eat like a bird
Lily- livered
To vote with your feet
Dirt cheap
Verbal diarrhea
Cook the books
Step up the plate
Hot potato
Gift of the gab
Walk a tight rope
Banging the drum
Bite off more than you can chew
Might and main
Go down like a lead balloon
Chilled him to the bone
Bolt from the blue
A piece of cake
Actions speak louder than words
Couch potato
A dime a dozen
Like talking to a brick wall
Get the hang of
Have a gut feeling
Take the heat
Cash- strapped
Pull yourself together
Add insult to injury
Whale of a time
Carry the day
Spur of the moment
Cry in the wilderness
Full of beans
Wrap my head around it
Upset the apple cart
Green fingers
Charley horse
At the drop of a hat
