To be in a pickle
to be in a difficult situation
To have a bun in the oven
to be pregnant
Cry over spilled milk
To dwell pointlessly on past misfortunes:
To have bigger fish to fry
To have a better thing to do
to butter someone up
compliment, praise someone as a means of gaining their help or support
you are the apple of my eye
you are the person I love the most and I'm proud of you
To have a lot on your plate
to have something, usually a large amount of important work, to deal with
A finger in every pie
involved in a lot of things
to bring home the bacon
to earn the money that is needed to live
Put all your eggs in one basket
to risk all one has on the success or failure of one thing
To have egg on your face
to be very embarrassed because of something you said or did:
Not my cup of tea
it is not the type of thing you like or are interested in
Like taking candy from a baby
very easy to accomplish
Spill the beans
Disclose a secret or reveal something prematurely
Walk on eggshells
to be very careful about what you say or do to someone because they are easily upset or offended.
**** the hand that feeds you
to behave badly or in an ungrateful way towards someone who you depend on
