Let's have some fun. Can you share some idioms?

Question

I'll start: Under the weather. Kill two birds with one stone. Bite the bullet.

Tarifa · Accepted Answer

As a non-native English speaker, I had to look up the first idiom about being under the weather.

We're on the same page = having a shared understanding on a particular topic

Asleep at the wheel = not paying attention to problems or important things

Break a leg = wishing someone good luck

Once in a blue moon = rarely, hardly ever

You can say that again = that is true

Beat around the bush = avoid saying something

Hit the sack = go to bed

Dead ringer Sure as shit Rode hard and put away wet Hotter than blue blazes Crazier than an outhouse dog

Potteplante · Accepted Answer

I'm not that well known with English idioms/sayings but I know lots in Icelandic/Danish. Don't know if those count so I'll just throw in one or two.

Everyone has their devil to drag - similar to the English "everyone had their cross to bear".

Give under the food - flirt

And I kinda have to add:

The raisin at the end of the hot dog - a pleasant surprise

Kick the bucket
Bob's your uncle
Spend a penny
It's all gone pear shaped
She's a sandwich short of a picnic
Have a chinwag
Taking the piss
Don't get your knickers in a knot
It's raining cats and dogs
It's not my cup of tea
It was chokablock

I could go on and on. 😎

Bite the bag,  hit the sheets pound your meat

DJB72 · Answer

I'll give it a Shot in the dark, although you can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

Of course if you reject my answer, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Good idioms are, as we all know, like looking for a black cat in a dark room, that isn't there...

A penny for your thoughts. Costs an arm and a leg. Beat around the bush.

TonyV · Answer

Road to hell is paved with good intentions. More nervous than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. When you point a finger at someone you're pointing 3 at yourself.
