to be in a difficult situation
to be in a pickle
have more important things to do
have bigger fish to fry
to get a 2nd chance at something
get another bite at the cherry
to pay attention to what’s going on
wake up and smell the coffee
a difficult problem to deal with
a hard nut to crack
all fun, easy and pleasant
all beer and skittles
to reveal something secret
spill the beans
to go crazy or be angry
go bananas
to be very similar
be (like) two peas in a pod
to look stupid or embarrassed
have egg on my face
to be extra nice to someone
butter someone up
to earn a salary
bring home the bacon
a person that is adored by someone
the apple of someone’s eye.
