IDIOMS

beat about the bush

avoid answering
bite off more than you can chew

start something you cannot finish
bury the hatchet

be friends after an argument
catch someone's eye

attrack someone’s attention
chicken

a coward
kick the bucket

die
off the record

don’t tell anyone I told you
once in a blue moon

very rarely
a piece of cake

very easy
pull someone’s leg

joke
have butterflies in one’s stomach
be nervous
turn the other cheek
to ignore someone's abuse or insult
teacher’s pet

the teacher’s favourite student
heart and soul
with all of one's energy, with all of one's efforts
at this stage of the game
at this point or time during an activity
the ball is in your court
it is up to this person to make the next move
saved by the bell
rescued from a bad situation at the last minute
throw in the towel

admit defeat
