American Idioms

“A No Brainer” If balancing a checkbook is a no brainer, why can’t I do it “Hit below the belt” As a guy I don’t even want to go there “I’m all ears” No wonder I can’t smell or see “Play it by ear” No wonder I cant play banjo, I’ve been using my fingers “Think outside the box” I tried that once and they closed the lid on me “Plenty of fish in the sea” If so, why can’t I catch any? “Put lipstick on a pig” Do pigs even have lips?
