Sharon had butterflies in her stomach before the championship game.
She was sick
She has a pet butterfly
She swallowed a butterfly
She felt nervous
My dad blew his stack when he saw the grades on my report card.
He got mad
He lit a fire
He had a bad headache
His hair was on fire
Jennifer was a bundle of nerves before getting her driving test results.
She was scared/nervous
She was wrapped up
She was confident
She felt proud
My parents rolled out the red carpet when family came to visit.
Made family leave their shoes on the carpet
Got new red carpet
Treated them special
Danced on the red carpet
The athlete is fit as a fiddle.
Likes violin music
Is in good shape
Works out to fiddle music
Needs to work out more
We need to get back to basics.
We need to try harder
We need to repeat elementary school
We need to learn math
We need to make things simpler
Once in a blue moon I win a contest
I wish this would happen
This happens rarely
This happens often
This never happens
His goal kick was close, but no cigar
He doesn't like cigars
He made the goal
He missed the goal
It was smokey
Last night it was raining cats and dogs'
Dogs and cats fell from the sky
Dogs and cats were fighting
There was a lot of noise outside
The rain was heavy
That kid has a chip on his shoulder.
He is holding a grudge
He is happy
He hurt his shoulder
Someone put a potato chip on his shoulder
