Clothes make the man/woman
What someone wears matters
Wear rose-colored glasses
To refuse to see anything bad
Blow the whistle
To inform on a criminal
Six feet under
Dead and buried
A watched pot never boils
If you focus on something, it won't happen
Mad as a hatter
A crazy person
Caught red-handed
To be caught in the act of a crime
Cook the books
To deliberately change the numbers in a business to steal money
Kick the bucket
To die
Called on the carpet
To be confronted about something you did
Fly by the seat of your pants
To do something with no plan
Once in a blue moon
Something that hardly ever happens
Cat burglar
A very quiet and stealthy thief
Sleeping with the fishes
The victim of a mafia hit
Darken someone's door
To show up where you're not wanted
Handle with kid goves
Be careful around this person
Have a green thumb
To be good at gardening
Pull a fast one
To cheat someone
Dead as a doornail
Really and truly deceased
Lie like a rug
To never tell the truth
Roll up your sleeves
Get right to work on something
Roll out the red carpet
To be extremely welcoming to someone
The big house
Prison
Buying the farm
Dying
A wet blanket
Someone who ruins the fun
