similar)? After meat comes mustard.
By hook or by crook.
It rains cats and dogs.
Sow to a fiddle.
To clip a person's wing
To get drawned in one's own spittle.
To go off like a shot
To make like the ass, that carries goldand eats thistles
To run with the hare and hunt with the hounds
To take French leave
It takes two to tango
Being busy as a bee
To drink like a fish
Blowing your own trumpet
Jump out of the skin
To be a chip off the old block
It's only a storm in a teacup
Leaving no stone unturned
Sitting on the fence
It's raining cats and dogs
Three times a bridesmaid never a bride
Caught between a rock and a hard place
Four seasons in one day
A piece of cake
Too many cooks spoil the broth
A rolling stone gathers no moss
A stitch in time, saves nine
A change is as good as a rest
Early bird catches the worm
Variety is the spice of life
What goes up must come down
Two is company, three is a crowd
Great minds think alike
Fools rarely differ
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
As mad as a hatter
The world is your oyster
Every cloud has a silver lining
It's the quiet ones you need to watch
Have your cake and eat it
Better the devil you know
There's no smoke without a fire
Horses for courses
Chalk and cheese
Age before beauty
It's grim up north
An Englishman's home is his castle
Blood is thicker than water
Being sent to Coventry
Burn the candle at both ends
Burn the midnight oil
Keep up with the Joneses
To rob Peter to pay Paul
Don't shoot the messenger
Once bitten, twice shy
He’s a dark horse
To be in the doghouse
No room to swing a cat
Sounds a bit fishy
To chicken out
as drunk as a skunk
window of opportunity
shoots himself in the foot
be like a cat on a hot tin roof
raise the roof
house of cards
as tough as old boots
not be someone’s cup of tea
would not do something for all the tea in China
wake up and smell the coffee
be born with a silver spoon in your mouth
To catch soneZZZZ's
e is as fit as a fiddle
Don't make a mountain out of a molehill!
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
No pains, no gains!
Birds of a feather flock together
You're barking up the wrong tree!
He is as cool as a cucumber
He is as flat as a pancake
