    skating on thin ice
    hit the nail right on the head
    cross the bridge when you get there
    fill in one's shoes
    bang for the buck
    bring home the bacon
    pull some strings

    Pigs might fly

    Walk into the lion's den

    Take the bull by the horns

    Smell a rat

    Bark up the wrong tree

    Play your cards right

    Keep a straight face

    To have itchy feet

    Keep your nose clean

    Let off steam.

    Ram something down someone's throat

    Cost an arm and a leg

    To get cold feet

    Sell like hot cakes

    Go nuts

    Eat humble pie

    Like chalk and cheese.

    Turn a blind eye to something

    smell something fishy

    crying over spilled milk

    beating a dead horse

    when it rain, it pours

    cost a fortune

    no strings attached

    Head Over Heels

    apple of my eye

    under the weather

    tie the knot

    straight from the horse mouth

    spare the rod ,spoil the child

    saved by the bell

    skin of your teeth

    rise and shine

    live by the sword ,die by the sword

    keep your chin up

    in the bag

    cold war

    graveyard shift

    Needle in a haystack.

    Eye of the storm.

    Run like the wind.

    Peas in a pod.

    Pot calling a kettle black.

    Heaven sent.

    Dead man walking.

    Devil's advocate.

    Kick the bucket.

    most of the idioms naman like "heaven sent" need no explanation cguro. stuff like "kick the bucket" eh galing pa cguro sa old english and may historical references kaya di ko alam kung bakit it refers to dying.

    could you specify which ones you don't know the meaning of? I'm sure the guys here would gladly help you out. Me, my favorite is "spanking the monkey".
