sweep A under the rug

in one's birthday suit

count off

sweep to victory

go to pot

no holds barred

oil and water

economical with the truth

sweet talk

get a word in edgewise

make a motion

go by the wayside

blow it off

take a brief

boggle the mind

take a dip

have two strikes against

be music to A's ears

ferret out

take A into one's confidence

eat out of A's hand

from the horse's mouth

take a lot of nerve

on relief

drag one's heels

scrape the bottom of the barrel

give A the finger

take a shine to

be as good as gold

take A to the cleaners

from the horse's mouth

give A a buzz

keep up appearances

take heed of

chew out

get next to
