Keep a straight face
try not to laugh
piece of cake
easy
keep your fingers crosssed
Hope for something to happen
Raining cats and dogs
raining really hard
face the music
face the consequences
can't teach an old dog new tricks
it is hard to learn new things, especially when you get older
Don't bite off more than you can chew
don't take on more than you can handle
Rome wasn't built in a day
It takes time to do things the right way
who let the cat out of the bag?
told the secret/spoiled the surprise
great minds think alike
to have the same idea
a picture is worth a thousand words
a picture tells us a story, tells us more than words can
Don't count your chickens before they are hatched
don't count on getting something before you have it
work against the clock
to try and get something done in a specific amount of time
barking up the wrong tree
asking the wrong person
It's all Greek to me
difficult to understand
under the weather
feeling sick
