CHAPTER T
|
 |
| Ta ta for now |
| Tackle my homework |
| Take a hike |
| Take a long walk off a short plank |
| Take him to task |
| Take it and run with it |
| Take it at face value |
| Take it easy |
| Take it like a man |
| Take it on the lam |
| Take it or leave it |
|
| Take it to the limit |
| Take off, you hoser |
| Take the bull by the horns |
| Take the plunge |
| Take the world by storm |
| Take the world by the balls |
| Take this job and shove it |
| Take your fate into your own hands |
| Taken with a grain of salt |
| Takes its toll on you |
| Takes one to know one |
|
| Takes the cake |
| Taking his pound of flesh |
| Taking the scenic route |
| Talk turkey |
| Talking behind his back |
| Talking out of your head |
| Talking to ralph on the big white telephone |
| Tall as a tree |
| Tall dark and handsome |
| Tall tale |
| Tarred and feathered |
|
| Tastes like battery acid |
| Tastes like chicken |
| Teacher's pet |
| Tear into it |
| Tell your story walking |
| Tempest in a teacup |
| Ten foot pole |
| Tense standoff |
| Testing one's mettle |
| Thank God it's Friday |
| Thanks for the memories |
|
| That and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee |
| That argument doesn't hold water |
| That baby runs like a scalded dog |
| That burns me up |
| That chaps my hide |
| That gets my goad |
| That hits the spot |
| That oughta tide you over |
| That really brings it home |
| That rings a bell |
| That sucks |
|
| That was cold-blooded |
| That'll be the day |
| That's a load off my mind |
| That's a new wrinkle in my horn. |
| That's a real stem-winder |
| That's a whole new can of worms |
| That's a wrap |
| That's about the size of it |
| That's all folks |
| That's easy for you to say |
| That's enough to piss off the Pope |
|
| That's icing on the cake |
| That's it in a nutshell |
| That's just like the pot calling the kettle black |
| That's just the tip of the iceberg |
| That's like a turtle on a fence post |
| That's like closing the barn door after the horse escapes |
| That's neither here nor there |
| That's old hat |
| That's par for the course |
| That's pretty run-of-the-mill |
| That's rubber on the side of the road |
|
| That's skull duggery |
| That's some ole good |
| That's the $64,000 question |
| That's the long and short of it |
| That's the way lady luck dances |
| That's the way the ball bounces |
| That's the way the cookie crumbles |
| That's the whole ball of wax |
| That's water under the bridge |
| The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree |
| The apple doesn't fall far from the tree |
|
| The ball is in your court |
| The belle of the ball |
| The best thing since little apples |
| The big picture |
| The bigger they are the harder they fall |
| The blind leading the blind |
| The bottom line |
| The buck stops here |
| The butler did it |
| The cat's meow |
| The cat's pajamas |
|
| The cat's whiskers |
| The cream of the crop |
| The devil is always ready to rock the cradle of the saint who sleeps |
| The devil is in the details |
| The devil made me do it |
| The devil must be beating his wife |
| The die is cast |
| The dog ate my homework |
| The drowning death |
| The early bird gets the worm |
| The earth moved |
|
| The emperor wears no clothes |
| The end justifies the means |
| The everyman |
| The exception that proves the rule |
| The eyes are the windows to the soul |
| The fatal shooting death |
| The fickle finger of fate |
| The final analysis |
| The full monty |
| The girl next door |
| The glass of the mirror simply melted away |
|
| The glove don't make the ball player |
| The gospel truth |
| The grass is always greener on the other side |
| The greatest thing since sliced bread |
| The hand that rocks the cradle |
| The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world |
| The hands of time |
| The last rose of summer |
| The last straw |
| The lesser of two evils |
| The light at the end of the tunnel |
|
| The light's on but nobody's home |
| The living daylights |
| The long arm of the law |
| The lord giveth and the lord taketh away |
| The lord moves in mysterious ways |
| The lowest on the totem pole |
| The luck of the draw |
| The meek shall inherit the earth |
| The melting pot |
| The more the merrier |
| The more things change, the more they stay the same |
|
| The more we learn, the less we know |
| The nail that sticks up gets hammered down |
| The night is young and so are we |
| The old ball and chain |
| The old gray mare just ain't what she used to be |
| The one that got away |
| The one who makes no mistakes does none of the work |
| The only difference between women and girls is the price of their pearls |
| The only people I trust are you and me, and I am not too sure about you |
| The only thing to fear is fear itself |
| The pen is mightier than the sword |
|
| The pick of the litter |
| The place was crawling with cops |
| The platter was better than the meat |
| The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow |
| The prodigal son returns |
| The proof is in the pudding |
| The quiet before the storm |
| The real McCoy |
| The rich get richer and the poor get poorer |
| The road to ruin is paved with good intentions |
| The road to success is always under construction |
|
| The same old story |
| The sharper is the berry, the sweeter is the wine |
| The shoes on the other foot now |
| The show must go on |
| The sky's the limit |
| The south shall rise again |
| The squeaky wheel gets the grease |
| The straw that broke the camel's back |
| The stronger the breeze the stronger the trees |
| The strongest steel is cast in the hottest fire |
| The strongest winds blow on the highest mountains |
|
| The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing |
| The tables are turned |
| The tail that wagged the dog |
| The tale of the tape |
| The tide's beginning to turn |
| The truth hurts |
| The truth is just as meaningful as the lie |
| The twilight years |
| The waiting is the hardest part |
| The way to a man's heart is through his stomach |
| The whole kit and caboodle |
|
| The whole shootin' match |
| The world goes to crap when I don’t do this first |
| Them's fightin' words |
| There are lies, damned lies and statistics |
| There are no words for emptiness |
| There are plenty more fish in the sea |
| There are starving children in africa |
| There but for the grace of God go I |
| There for the taking |
| There is a light at the end of the tunnel |
| There is harmony in disharmony |
|
| There is no comfort in the truth |
| There is nothing to fear but fear itself |
| There may be snow on the roof, but there's fire in the belly |
| There must be a reason |
| There now, that wasn't so bad, was it |
| There ought to be a law against that |
| There will be another one |
| There will come a day when all the work is finished or when it is too late to finish it |
| There'll be hell to pay |
| There's a first time for everything |
| There's a God and I'm not him |
|
| There's a sucker born every minute |
| There's more than one fish in the sea |
| There's more than one way to skin a cat |
| There's more where that came from |
| There's no honor among thieves |
| There's no such thing as a free lunch |
| There's no time like the present |
| There's one in every crowd |
| There's only two things certain in life death and taxes |
| There's something fishy about that |
| There's something I've been meaning to tell you |
|
| These things happen |
| They are not alone |
| They gave him carte blanche |
| They threw the book at him |
| They're getting hitched |
| They're jumping the broomstick |
| They're like two peas in a pod |
| They're so poor they'd steal shit from a chicken |
| Thick as a brick |
| Thick as mud |
| Thick as paste |
|
| Thick as pea soup |
| Thicker than blood |
| Thin as six o'clock |
| Thin as water |
| Thingamajigger |
| Things are not always as they seem |
| Third time's the charm |
| Third times a charm |
| This could be the start of something big |
| This day and age |
| This hurts me worse than it does you |
|
| This is a process of eliminating options |
| This is for the birds |
| This point in time |
| This too, shall pass |
| This town's not big enough for the two of us |
| Those who have, get |
| Three sheets to the wind |
| Three strikes and you're out |
| Threw a curve ball |
| Threw up my hands |
| Through hell or high water |
|
| Through the grapevine |
| Throw a fit |
| Throw caution to the wind |
| Throw in the towel |
| Throw out the baby with the bath water |
| Throwing caution to the wind |
| Tickle the ivories |
| Tickled pink |
| Tied up right now |
| Tight lipped |
| Tighter than a drum |
|
| Till the cows come home |
| Till the fat lady sings |
| Timber |
| Time and time again |
| Time flies when you're having fun |
| Time heals all wounds |
| Time is a cure |
| Time is money |
| Time is of the essence |
| Time is up |
| Time on my hands |
|
| Time stands still |
| Time to pay the piper |
| Time waits for no man |
| Time will tell |
| Time-honored |
| Timing is everything |
| Tin ear |
| Tingling with anticipation |
| Tit for tat |
| To assume makes an ass out of u and me |
| To be honest with you |
|
| To be or not to be |
| To cry wolf |
| To each his own |
| To err is human |
| To err is human, to forgive divine |
| To feather your nest |
| To lie down with lions |
| To live from hand to mouth |
| To tell you the truth |
| To the best of my knowledge |
| To the victor goes the spoils |
|
| Today is the first day of the rest of your life |
| Toe the line |
| Tomorrow is another day |
| Tomorrow, no one will remember |
| Tongue-in-cheek |
| Too close for comfort |
| Too little too late |
| Too many chiefs and not enough indians |
| Too many cooks in the kitchen |
| Too many cooks spoil the broth |
| Too poor to paint and too proud to whitewash |
|
| Too rich for my blood |
| Toodles |
| Took me to the cleaners |
| Took off like a bat out of hell |
| Took off like a shot |
| Tooth and nail |
| Top of the morning |
| Torn asunder |
| Touch of blarney |
| Touche |
| Touchy feelie |
|
| Tough act to follow |
| Tough as leather |
| Tough as nails |
| Tow the line |
| Traditional family values |
| Train of thought |
| Treated like a dog |
| Tree-lined streets |
| Trials and tribulations |
| Tried and true |
| Trip the light fantastic |
|
| Trouble with a capital T |
| True blue |
| Truth is nothing but a feeling that something is true |
| Truth is relative |
| Truth is stranger than fiction |
| Try as I might |
| Try your hand at something |
| Trying to put a square peg in a round hole |
| Turn over a new leaf |
| Turn the other cheek |
| Twice as nice |
|
| Twice as strong as an ox and half as smart |
| Twiddling your thumbs |
| Twist of fate |
| Twists and turns |
| Two birds with one stone |
| Two cans short of six pack |
| Two hairs past the freckle, eastern elbow time |
| Two heads are better than one |
| Two is company, three is a crowd |
| Two left feet |
| Two of a kind |
|
| Two sides of the same coin |
| Two wrongs don't make a right |
| Two's company, three's a crowd |
