I love idioms. Especially obscure ones. I love learning the origins and finding ways to work them into conversations. Here are some of my faves, please share yours!
-Calm before the storm (!!!)
-Stitch in time saves nine
-An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
-Nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs
-Cows out of the barn
-Crooked as a dog’s hind leg
-Sh*t hit the fan (shtf)
From my Grandad-
-Faster then a cat with its tail up and tongue out
-Wetter than a drowned rat
-She is not as big as a bar of soup after a week’s walking
-Don’t be a dummy there’s nothing like experience

I don't want to cut any corners or have things get out of hand as that could start a snowball effect.
I don't want to be hard on you, so I will cut you some slack, but we'll cross that bridge when it comes.
I feel like a fish out of water, your guess is as good as mine as to why, I'm stepping up my game, keeping my ear to the ground, so if it feels like we're running around in circles, Don't get up in arms.
I do have an ace up my sleeve, so this could be a blessing in disguise, we shouldn't have to scrape the bottom of the barrel, it's a piece of cake, and once in a blue moon I fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
Not to add fuel to the fire, but I do have a bone to pick, I'll go the extra mile, if you don't rest on your laurels, we'll give it a wirl, just hang in there and don't go down for the count, it's not rocket science, let's just Make America Great Again and be done with it.
