throw caution to the wind

be made to measure

give the game away

count noses

carry the ball

lord it over

be music to A's ears

at the end of one's rope

hang loose

test the water

lose sleep over

be no great shakes

just the job

full of beans

be on about

throw A to the wolves

fly the coop

be on A's case

lay one's life on the line

lose sleep over

be one's bag

from ear to ear

bet the farm

play it smart

be up to one's neck in

cut the mustard

give A a line

be out on one's ear

be tickled pink

on one's last legs

flat broke

born out of wedlock

go the whole hog

gray matter

be up to one's neck in

a bed of roses

be music to A's ears

three-ring circus

feel small

bear watching
