Hi Rammel
The Long and Short of It

When you want to explain the general situation about something, but give not many details.

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar

Hindsight is always twenty-twenty

Hi Rammel
A Little Bird Told Me


Something you are told in confidence or secretly and not to be passed on

Kelly

My mom used to say "my little finger told me", while putting her pinkie to her ear

Hi Rammel
Off His Own Bat

If you do something individually.

Kelly

Talking through your hat lol

Good one Bubble!

Kelly

You reminded me of it because I miss-read 'bat'

That's how the cookie crumbles.

Fit as a fiddle

Flat as a pancake .... (my former sister-in-law would say "flat as a fritter" when she meant she was "flat broke")

Hi Rammel
Burn the midnight oil

I  used that as others did when on the night shift.

It was meant to mean before electric lighting.

Kelly

Hi Rammel
Cross that bridge when you come to it

Used to deal with a problem if and when it becomes necessary, not before.

Hi Rammel
Don't give up the day job

Said when we  are not very good at something.

Basically because we could definitely not do it professionally.

Thanks Kev.   I enjoy doing stuff plus it keeps me off the streets and out of trouble.   

Hi Rammel
Butter Someone Up

Usually when we flatter someone

Looked to see if any history about the saying, I found this

An ancient Indian custom involved throwing balls of clarified butter at statues of the gods to seek favour.

Hi Rammel
The short end of the stick

In getting the short end of the stick, is when we  come off worst in a bargain or contest.
