| 1.drop in the bucket = I say drop in the ocean, meaning making a very small difference. 2.dry behind the ears = I say wet behind the ears, meaning inexperienced. 3.fly off the handle = get very angry 4.if and when = It means that you think it will happen and have decided how you will respond. 5.left holding the bag = 6.lock, stock, and barrel = completely 7.long arm of the law = justice has great pwers that can dig people out 8.look a gift horse in the mouth = be ungrateful about the quality of something you are given 9.skin of my teeth = very nearly- I escaped by the skin of my teeth. 10.tale of woe = woe is misery, unhappiness |
