Nobody queues for a flat rollercoaster

Once in a blue moon

Let's take a rain check

The perfect storm

Bob's your uncle!

Every cloud has a silver lining 

The last straw that broke the camel's back

You are barking up the wrong tree

Pull yourself together

On the ball 

Stop and smell the roses 

Put your face on

The best of both world 

Get off your high horse 

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back 

My cup of tea 

A piece of cake 

Hit the sack

A blessing in disguise

Miss the boat

It's not rocket science

Costs an arm and a leg

Bite off more than you can chew

He has bigger fish to fry

To be a couch potato 

When pigs fly 

Kick the bucket

A leopard can’t change its spots 

Not all moonlight and roses 

All bark and no bite 

You’re a vibe 

Face the music

To drink like a fish 

To have a cast iron stomach

To have Van High’s hear for music

When it rains, it pours 

Shoot yourself in the foot

Between the devil and the Dee blue sea 

Smell a rat 

Go bananas

Kill two birds with one stone 

Make a long story short

Speak of the devil

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Actions speak louder than words

Don't count your chickens before they hatch

Don't cry over spilt milk

to throw the rock and hide one's hand

Stab someone in the back 

Ring a bell

Look like a million dollars 

To go from rags to riches

To go Dutch

Cool as a cucumber 

Eat like a horse/bird

Butter [someone] up

A smart cookie

Have a sweet tooth

Chasing rainbows

Walking in air, Over the moon,” “on cloud nine,” “in seventh heaven” and “in good spirits”

To bring home the bacon 

To beat around the bush 

To get out of bed on the wrong side 

A little bird told me…

Born on the wrong side of the blanket 

To drop a bombshell 

Like a bull in a china shop 

To let the cat out of the bag (rivelare un segreto in anticipo!)

To cry wolf 

To cut no ice on someone

As dead as a dodo 

Dog days 

Dutch courage

You’re talking double Dutch / It’s Greek to me / to talk gibberish

Pardon my French

French Kiss, French Way, French letter, French disease

A dark horse 

Hocus-pocus

A mumbo jambo 

Looking for the needle in a haystack 

Sick as a parrot 

A red letter day, da celebrare

By hook or by crook

From the horse’s mouth 

At the 11th hour

A kettle of fish

To cry for the moon

A party pooper 

I am never lost for words

Pain in the neck

To be on the go

To see someone famous in the flesh

We were all in stitches!

I’m on edge

We see eye to eye

She’s playing hard to get 

Get a life!

I have a thing about tall men

He will never pop the question

We are all looking for Mr Right

Get your act together

I was pleased to escape from the rat race

Fish out of water

To get the sack, essere licenziati

To rub salt in the wound

To separate the sheep from the goats

to shilly-shally or to willy-nilly 

A sitting duck

To have a skeleton in the cupboard 

put a spoke in [sb]'s wheel

I wish I could put my feet up 

To be off the hook

If I don’t study and I don’t pass my exam…I will kick myself 

Spill the beans 

You can say that again 

Hit the nail on the head (he’s smart but lazy)

Stop pulling my leg! 

That’s on the cards 

It’s 30 years since you two tied the knot 

His name always slips my mind 

Catch someone red handed 

If the fight is very aggressive…the gloves are off!

Make up your mind 

Big fish

Would you work around the clock to finish this project? 

Days are numbered

It's been lovely weather for ducks recently.
