by the hour

to bits

strut one's stuff

blow the whistle on

few and far between

hold court

clean house

to the bad

deliver the goods

to the eye

clear as mud

fall out with

jump on the bandwagon

beg the question

talk shop

to the hilt

rub shoulders with

put the cart before the horse

sober up

to the hour

a nail in one's coffin

to the root

square up

a black eye

keep one's head down

on faith

strut one's stuff

to the view

breathe on

top dog

pay one's way

have teeth

early in the day

a slap in the face

on top of the world

true to form

trump card

fall by the wayside

have something on

carry through
