small fry
a chip on the shoulder
rub shoulders with

a good samaritan
look askance (at)

a straight fight
to lose one's head
to make headway
to clinch the matter
to read between the lines
to swallow an insult
on the threshold
catch the fancy of
in a nutshell
to fish in troubled waters
to let sleeping dogs lie
a bolt from the blue
to grease the palm of
to take by storm
to rest on one's larurels
an oily tongue
a sword of damocles
a sad dog
a rope of sand
a broken reed
to end in smoke
red tape
yeomen's service
to turn over a new leaf
a brown study
to run in the blood
a crown of wild olive
out of character, to be in the one's elements
in good time
ab initio

in good time
the olive branch
to keep one's weather eye open
the weather vane

to make amends
to be in a rut
the sixth sense
an uphill task
to build castles in the air
to swim against the current
a bolt from the blue
a thorn in the flesh
of no avail
to fall flat
against one's grain
behind the scenes
a blind alley
to make away with
to call off
in good time
to be at cross purposes
viva voce
on the horns of dilemma
the loaves and fishes of office
a laconic speech
a broken reed
go give one the sack
to give up the ghost
to keep the wolf from the door
to pull a long face
an oily tongue
jaundiced eye
