to box one’s ears
to be off the mark
to go bonkers
a slam-dunk proof
not have a leg to stand on
in a tizzy
my young buck
to take a shot at something
tip of the hat
to beat someone to the punch
to nip in the bud
to bend over backwards
to stick to one’s guns
It was a snap!
to be up for grabs
Well, what do you know!
to throw a spanner in the works
from the grapevine
to snort blow
to stay put
to gild the lily
to turn the corner
when pigs fly
to pay heed to something
in the event
