Hit the nail on the head – hit the head on the nail.
Hold your tongue – now say Peter Piper picked a peck …….
When the going gets tough the tough get going – cowards!
When in Rome do as Rome does - pick pockets.

What has that nail done to you!
..of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked; if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper pecked.( In our choir we sing that as a round - great fun).
Going back presumably.
In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
I'm afraid these don't grow on trees,
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys,
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.

I'm so familiar with both - thanks Andy.
these are getting edgy, also is Glenit facing backwards? lol
I also think the 'literally' school of idioms or 'sayings' are particularly grating: 'you literally had me dying'.....? I think they deserve an entry by themselves in your series
(if I may be bold enough to suggest)
Suggest away - I lterally agree with you.
Glenit is always getting into trouble bless him.
laughter is infectious innit ... and the way these are going mate ya gonna start ya own pandemic ..

I'll keep taking the tablets. 😤
I've run out. Fair play to you.
Don't believe you - but so have I.
* I thought I was doing summat wrong when I kept trying to bang a nail in with me head. Got headache now!
*If all else fails - give up!!
* Take two tablets a day for seven days. Which two? They all look the same. And how I am gonna keep taking the same two?
Take to bed, lie down and call for Nurse Berles.
Was she in the 'Carry on Nurse' film?

Brian Here ! Good Thorsday Uncle Mike ! Love Glenit - However Ive never driven over a RED LIGHT just (to my cost !) through one. My mantra is ~ When in ROME ~ visit the Pope ! I had a meal with them in the Vatican ~ Bread & Wine. HIM I liked ~ HER I didnt like !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela & Smokey ! ! !
Do you know when I posted this I had to ask myself if it was correct with the red ligfht at the top - well of course it is but the more you wonder the more you doubt your own wisdom.
A lovely bunch of idioms. "Cowards,"
are" tough" to "get going." and with that I will cease. You bring me laughter, Thank you. - Phil A.
I must be a coward - I always go away from an argument - I like the simple life - perhaps I'm simply simple.
Grins before bed after reading your latest - - great stuff Mike.
I've run out - must get back to some serious work but currently no inspiration.
