One
The best of both worlds
enjoy two different opportunities at the same time.
To cost an arm and a leg
something is very expensive
To cut corners
to do something badly or cheaply
A blessing in disguise
A misfortune that eventually results in something good happening later on.
Getting a taste of your own medicine
Being treated the same unpleasant way you have treated others.
Speak of the devil
the person you’re just talking about actually appears at that moment.
A piece of cake
something is very easy
To add insult to injury
to make a situation worse
Call it a day
Stop working on something
Giving someone the cold shoulder
To ignore someone
See eye to eye
agreeing with someone.
Let the cat out of the bag
to accidentally reveal a secret
You can’t judge a book by its cover
to not judge someone or something based solely on appearance.
‘Let someone of the hook’
To allow someone, who have been caught, to not be punished.
The last straw
The final source of irritation for someone to finally lose patience
Once in a blue moon
an event that happens infrequently.
To feel under the weather
to not feel well
Break a leg
means ‘good luck’
No pain no gain
You have to work hard for something you want
The elephant in the room
A matter or problem that is obvious of great importance but that is not discussed openly.
When pigs fly
something that will never happen.
To kill two birds with one stone
to solve two problems at once
To hit the nail on the head
to describe exactly what is causing a situation or problem
Bite the bullet
Decide to do something unpleasant that you have avoiding doing
Stealing someones thunder
Taking credit for someone else achievements
