Bone up on
Bolt from the blue
Below the belt
Barrel of laughs
An axe to grind
All in all
Above board
A sorry sight
A shot in the arm
A no-brainer
A miss is as good as a mile
A fish out of water
A fate worse than death
down to the wire
Burst Your Bubble
Break The Ice
A Piece of Cake
A Dime a Dozen
A Chip on Your Shoulder
Wouldn't be caught dead
Whole nine yards 
Last straw
In the heat of the moment
Far cry from
Cut corners
Blessing in disguise
Back to the drawing board 
Actions speak louder than words
Add insult to injury
