let off steam

go the extra mile

go ape

at the drop of a hat

take the chair

back to back

hold out hope

ladies' man

to the skies

shake a leg

go ape

balance A out

on the wagon

a new lease on life

ball and chain

beat a path to

bare bones

win hands down

third time lucky

keep the lid on

bare one's soul

have a close shave

think the world of

walk a tightrope

batten down the hatches

up to scratch

the only game in town

go down in flames

the back of one's hand

pull apart

Achilles heel

be for the birds

play second fiddle

speak of the devil

be hard put

tip the scales

break bread

a drop in the bucket

be miles away

up to one's ears
