clear as a bell

dead duck

hit a snag

run a tight ship

in a huff

go along for the ride

on relief

clear one's name

push over

happy as a clam

clear the air

on a fast track

hear oneself think

cut one's teeth on

stew in one's own juice

close about

close it up

in no shape

take a dip

quite the thing

take A to the cleaners

cast about

dry as a bone

cold cash

put on the ritz

drive the nail home

cold fish

spring chicken

wear the pants

one up on

a knight in shining armor

come apart at the seams

from the horse's mouth

in words of one syllable

come down the pike

chapter and verse

come hell or high water

hit the nail on the head

chop and change

curry favor with
