Defined By Idioms

Naked truth, bent nails
dead men tell no tales
bad Apple, broken mirrors
burnt out light bulbs, crocodile tears
spilt milk, goose chase
two cents worth, rat race
rotten egg, bad to the bone
eagle eye, no place like home.
bat from hell,
pulled punch
big cheese, 
no free lunch
can of worms, bleeding heart
knock on wood, 
till death do us part
bite the bullet, checkered past 
good as gold,
last laugh
burning bridges, 
ball of wax
hold your horses start from scratch
wooden nickels ace up your sleeve
hair of the dog 
all Greek to me
axe to grind
behind the eight ball
bigger they are 
the harder they fall
jack of all trades cat's got your tongue
fair weathered friend 
like father like son
small world 
on thin ice
speak of the Devil roll of the dice
blood's thicker than water
lie like a rug
dime a dozen 
when push comes to shove
dog eared pages 
eye for an eye
bury the  hatchet how time flies                       clean as a whistle C
chew the fat
crime doesn't pay.   cover my ass
throw me under the bus gentle as a lamb
cold shoulder  
 hit the fan
buyer beware 
woman's work never done     
never say never 
takes one to know one 
come Hell or high water
pissing in the wind
pretty as a picture through thick and thin 
beat a dead horse pass the buck
whole nine yards down on my luck
life’s a  
don't rock boat
needless to say 
go for broke
My life is the sum of trite cliches
Jaded expressions
so worthless so worn
I couldn't give it away
