the opposite of no love lost

[alpacinou]

Hello,

Is there an idiom which is similar to "there is no love lost between them" in terms of being cool, but has the opposite meaning? I mean an idiom which means two people love / like each other?

That expression has nothing to do with being cool.

Some opposites:

- They loved each other.
- They were great friends.
- They were best buddies.
- They were inseparable.
- They thought the world of each other.

I know it means they basically hate each other. By cool, I mean the idiom itself is cool! I like it a lot! So I was wondering if there is an equally cool idiom which means two people like each other.

Oh! You mean it's a good turn of phrase, a good expression.

Anything else I can think of will be like what I already posted.

What if we say "there is a lot of love lost between them"?

What if we say "There is a lot of love lost between them"?

No, that doesn't work. If used, it would mean the same as the original!

What if we say "there is a lot of love lost between them"?

And it wouldn't make sense. "There's a lot of love lost" is not a cliche. "There's no love lost" is a cliche.

What do you mean by 'cliche', Charlie?
