IDIOMS

======

a bolt from the blue - sudden and totally unexpected


At an arms length- to keep away at distance

Apple of discord-  
                         cause of
                           dispute

To build castles in the air- imaginary paln

At sixes and sevens - confusion

A wild goose chase - hopeless search

Break a leg - to wish good luck

Smell a rat -
                    something     
                     is wrong


Nip the bud- stop something before sit has a chance ro develop

let the cat out of the bag - reveal a secret

Swan song - last petformance

A hot paottato - a controbersial issue

Mother wit - natural commonsens

Apple pie order -prefect

Fair and square- honest

Once in a blue moon - very rarely

A queer fish- a person of strange behaviour

To make both ends meet- to earn just to survive

A stones throw - a short distance


Parexcellemce - above all

A dark horse - a persond whose abilites are hidden

A bakers dozen - thirteen
