Is riding high
Completely dry
Bone dry

Play it cool
To notice or understand something without paying full attention
Half an eye
Have the same opinion about a situation
Makes 2 of us
Know more about the most recent developments than the people or companies with whom they are competing
Ahead of the game
During the day when people could see it
Broad daylight

If I had the opportunity
Given half the chance

Comes up in trumps
There’s nothing more to say
Full stop
Behave in a way that is expected or demanded by those in authority
Play the game
Plan that is not well thought out or poorly prepared
Half baked scheme
You can hurt the person in the same way they hurt you
Two can play that game
People did not like it at all
Went down like a lead balloon
A large sum of money
Small fortune
Waiting until we are ready
Playing for time
To feel tempted or inclined to do something most often out of annoyance or frustration
Have half a mind
Knows a lot about something
Knows a thing or two
Couldn’t deal with any difficulties or problems
Couldn’t cut the mustard
Obvious truths
Bare faced lies
Being an unwanted third person in a romantic situation
Playing gooseberry
Confident and smart in an annoying way
Too clever by half
Have something happen to someone to show them they aren’t as good as they think they are
Be brought down a peg or Two
