Butterflies in my stomach
I'm nervous
It’s raining cats and dogs
It’s raining really hard.
You’re a couch potato
You’re lazy.
They’re a dime a dozen.
They are common, inexpensive, and you can get them anywhere.
Don’t add insult to injury
Don’t make it worse than it already is. Don’t mock and make someone feel worse than he already does.
I’m all ears.
I’m listening intently or waiting to hear what you have to say.
I’m all thumbs.
I’m clumsy or awkward. I can’t do small things with my hands.
You are barking up the wrong tree.
You are looking in the wrong place or asking the wrong person.
I’m a basket case.
I can’t do anything because I’m stressed out or panicked. I’m going crazy.
At the drop of a hat.
Do something instantly.
Beat around the bush.
Talk about something, but never get to the main point. Hint at a topic or avoid a topic that you don’t want to talk about.
Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
Don’t take on more than you can handle.
Bite the bullet.
Endure a bad situation or get it over with. It’s something that has to be done, so just do it.
Break a leg.
A saying that actors say to each other to mean “good luck.”
Quit busting my chops.
Stop getting after me, scolding me, or harassing me.
By the seat of your pants.
To do something luckily by instinct or without a lot of preparation.
