Sports Pt.1
Pass the baton
Pass on something (work, papers, etc.)
Raining cats and dogs
It's raining very hard
I guess, believe, think
Saved by the bell
Escape from a situation narrowly, or by an unexpected intervention
To kill time
To waste time while waiting for something
That was a homerun/We knocked it out of the park
It was a great success
To be a ray of sunshine
To bring happiness
Till the cows come home
Lasting a very long time
Get into the swing of things
Get used/comfortable to/with something after a bit of time
To make a killing
To make a lot of money
They are on the ropes
They're almost defeated
To not feel well, feel sick
Hold your horses
Slow down, be patient
To hit below the belt
To do or say something unfair or cruel
Digging your own grave
Doing something unwise that will eventually result in your downfall or failure
This is a Hail Mary
This is all or nothing, a huge risk
Weather a storm
To survive a dangerous event or difficult situation
Pot calling the kettle black
Being hypocritical, acting contradictory to how someone says they are
To be blind-sided
To be caught off guard, surprised
Kick the bucket
That came out of left field
That came out of nowhere, it was surprising
Make hay while the sun shines
Make good use of the opportunity to do something
Fine as frog hair
Don't worry!
Take the bull by the horns
To accept the challenge and try your best
Kill two birds with one stone
To accomplish two things with one action
