as...as a....
as strong as an
ox
the elephant in the room
a big problem that can´t be ignored but nobody wants to talk about
have a break from something
as stuborn as a
mule
pig-headed
inflexible
waste time
do useless things
as dead as a
dodo
the lion´s share
the most of something / the biggest portion
tell the time
read a watch / clock
as cunning as a
fox
hold your horses
wait
have a good time
enjoy oneself
