    3) YOU ARE A FINE ONE tO TALK = someone good to talk to
    4) EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN = absolutely everything
    5) GLOSS SOMETHING OVER = try to make what is wrong or bad seem right, look better than it is, easy or pretend about.
    6) YOU`VE GOT A FINGER IN EVERY PIE - you are involved in a lot of things, usually nosy, have to be a part of everything
    7) HE IS A GOODY GOODY.= goody two shoes = everything sweet and good.

    3) This expression is used to tell people they should not criticize other people because they are just as bad.

    Jerry: John's always late.
    Mary: You're a fine one to talk.
