A-list
A-OK
a little bird told me
a steal
above and beyond
act of God
against the grain
all bark and no bite
all ears
all in a day’s work
all in one’s head
all over the map
all roads lead to Rome
ambulance chaser
Amen
any port in a storm
as the crow flies
asleep at the wheel
at the end of one’s rope
at my wits’ end
average Joe
AWOL
axe to grind
back burner
back to square one
back to the drawing board
back-of-the-envelope calculations
bad apple
baker’s dozen
ball is in your court
ballpark figure
balls to the wall
banana republic
barking up the wrong tree
basket case
bat an eyelid
bear fruit
beat around the bush
beat the rap (rap sheet)
beat someone to the punch
behind closed doors
behind the curtain
behind the curve
behind someone’s back
behind the times
believe you me
below the belt
bend over backwards
beside the point
beside one’s self
best of both worlds
bet the farm
bet the ranch
bet your bottom dollar
better you than me
better the devil you know
between a rock and a hard place
between the devil and the deep blue sea
beyond the shadow of a doubt
big cheese
Big Easy
big fish in a small pond
bigger fish to fry
bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
—usingenglish.com — begin B4
come to a fork in the road
cost a pretty penny
cost an arm and a leg
cut someone off at the knees
day late and a dollar short
don’t put all your eggs in one basket
every single one
fight fire with fire
have a lot on one’s plate
it is what it is
leave a bad taste in one’s mouth
lights are on but no one’s home
talking out of both sides of one’s mouth
two peas in a pod
