A
A blessing in disguise
A good thing that seemed bad at first
Cut somebody some slack
Don't be so critical
No pain, no gain
You have to work for what you want
A dime a dozen
Something common
Easy does it
Slow down
Speak of the devil
The person we were just talking about showed up!
Beat around the bush
Avoid saying what you mean, usually because it is uncomfortable
Get out of hand
Get out of control
That's the last straw
My patience has run out
Bite the bullet
To get something over with because it is inevitable
Get something out of your system
Do the thing you've been wanting to do so you can move on
The best of both worlds
An ideal situation
Break a leg
Good luck
Hang in there
Don't give up
To make matters worse
Make a problem worse
