Saw Right Through Me- Understood me real intention when I was saying something different or lying
Getting In My Hair- Irritating me
Up A Creek- in serious trouble
Blew the Test- failed it or did badly when I should have done better

Default Re: Help?

Have you looked at the onsite idioms list?

Search Results for 'up the creek' - UsingEnglish.com

In the list you give, "slipped on a corner" is not an idiom I have met. "Blew the test" is an informal way of saying "failed a test", but is not an idiom as such.
