Story #5: You Idiom, you!

"Bite your tongue, you wet blanket!"
"You're the spitting image of bring home the bacon!"
"Not only are you too big for your britches, you're also long in the tooth!"
"An eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth; off the top of my head, I'm going to blow my top!"
"Do you have cold feet? You wolf in sheep's clothing!"
"Mum's the word if you try to pull the wool over my eyes, you cry wolf old wive's tale!"
"I'm not going to let sleeping dogs lie; it's a dog eat dog world, but you bark is worse than your bite!"
"You're biting off more than you can chew, you black sheep calling the kettle black!"
"You're driving me up the wall; I'll have you eating humble pie out of my hands!"

"That's food for thought... we're full of beans and full of hot air."
"You hit the nail right on the head, but our hearts are in the right place."
"Yeah, they're between a rock and a hard place, so let's stop blowing our own horns and take the bull by the horns."
"We might be making a mountain out of a molehill, but we did miss the boat."
"We're in the same boat, so we need to shape up or ship out, and fly by the seat of our pants."
"I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, never went to the school of hard knocks or had to sing for my supper."
"I have no skeletons in my closet, and rain or shine, I call the shots and sell like hot cakes."
