Rapid method of Neo

It is the last word! (“all the rage”) Tell it to the Marines! What a row! - What a mess! Mum’s the word! In short… Let’s go!

Go to it! - Go on 1 Of course! Dash!

So much the worse!

All the better!

It doesn’t matter!

It doesn’t matter at all!

Pardon, what did you say ?

He’s a real pal!

Just you dare!

I’ll make it my business to find out! I don’t care a rap! That is a dig at me. Much ado about nothing. There’s something in the wind (a

snake in the grass). I could go there with my eyes shut. I am all ears.

I’m beginning to lose my temper.

He can’t bear me.

I answered him like a flash.

That’s the least of my worries.

Don’t you dare do it again!

I don’t give a hoot!

He’s just kidding!

He won’t set the Thames on fire.

He is putting on an act!

Let him go to the devil!

He leads the life of a lord.

He is a spendthrift.

His eyes are bigger than his belly.

I’m telling you once and for all.

He promised me the moon.

Your ears must have burned. He was born with a silver spoon in

his mouth. He is dressed to kill to-day. It’s all up with him! Take a chance! That’s just like him!

I am used to it.

You have no say in the matter. I mustn’t grumble! Take it or leave it I

I told him where he got off! Did he put you wise to it ? (Did he

clue you up ?) He is proud as a peacock. He is as mean as Midas. He is rich as Croesus. He is as poor as a churchmouse. He is as strong as an ox! She is as gay as a lark. He is as dull as ditch water. She chatters like a magpie. He is as quiet as a mouse. He is as nimble as a monkey. He is as deaf as a post. He is as thin as a rake. He is as fat as a barrel. Long as a month of Sundays. He is as honest as the day is long. He is sleeping like a top. It is as old as the hills. They are as like as two peas. It is as clear as daylight.

He is as happy as a sandboy.

It will go swimmingly.

He is as regular as clockwork.

It’s no laughing matter.

There’s nothing to worry about.

There’s no harm in trying.

You have overstepped the mark.

He let the cat out of the bag.

I’m not up to much to-day.

On the level: Honour bright.

They are in a bad way.

And to think I trusted him!

Don’t blame anyone but yourself.

He was pulling your leg, old man.

She didn’t turn up.

They left me in the lurch.

We split the difference.

He is a first class bore.

We are after the same thing.

He has plenty of nerve. - What a

nerve he has! What’s biting you ? I am not in his good books. He was caught red-handed. She gave me the cold shoulder. He killed two birds with one stone. He has the gift of the gab. That sets my teeth on edge. I have pins and needles in my legs. You will be sorry for it. He said it with his tongue in his cheek; take it with a pinch of salt.

He practises what he preaches. Yesterday he was making whoopee. To-day he has a hangover. He is very wideawake.
