5.

IDIOM DEFINITION
Go down in flames Fail spectacularly

Shape up or ship out Work better or leave

Have your head in the clouds Not be concentrating

That ship has sailed It's too late

Straight from the horse's mouth Hear something from the person involved

Not playing with a full deck Not smart

Off your rocker You’re crazy

Sitting on the fence Can't decide

We see eye to eye We agree

When it rains it pours Everything is going wrong at once

Like riding a bicycle Something you never forget how to do

Like two peas in a pod They're always together

Through thick and thin In good times and in bad times

On cloud nine Feeling wonderful, happy

Once bitten, twice shy More cautious when you've been hurt before

Out of the frying pan and into the fire A situation is going from bad to even worse

Run like the wind Run fast

Leave no stone unturned Look everywhere

It takes two to tango One person alone isn't responsible. Two are.

Jump on the bandwagon Follow a trend, do what everyone else is doing
