Similes
Out like a light
to be asleep or unconscious
Bury the hatchet
stop fighting
All work and no play
People work too hard and don't enjoy life.
As clear as mud
Hard to understand
As different as night and day
Break the ice
start a conversation, get something going
Beggars can't be choosers
don't criticize something you got for free
To ignore, act unfriendly
Built like a truck
big and strong
Throw in the towel
give up, quit
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
If you eat food that's good for you, you'll be healthy.
Don't lift a finger
Like a breath of fresh air
something is new and refreshing
In the bag
it's for certain, it's sure to happen
Actions speak louder than words.
Do something about a problem, don't just talk about it.
Half-hearted
not interested, don't give it your all
Like looking for a needle in a haystack
to search hopelessly, impossible to find
To pull some strings
ask somebody you know for a special favor
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
don't put all your hopes on one thing
To beat around the bush
avoid a question or topic
