from soup to nuts

talk turkey

on the rack

fall over oneself

toe the line

taper off

speak of the devil

at a snail's pace

meal ticket

into the blue

be on the up and up

tapped out

a feeding frenzy

on the warpath

tell tales

shell game

the back of one's hand

throw oneself on

spread oneself

in point of fact

cut and run

in point of fact

on the hook

the bitter end

into thin air

run a fever

at full stretch

the chicken or the egg

for all I care

the facts of life

to a fault

throw the book at

below the belt

the kiss of death

take a fall

tie A's hands

the man on the street

out of sorts

a clean slate

tapped out
