not a happy camper
knee-high to a grasshopper
just so we're all on the same page...
no pain no gain
as big as a football field
put your thinking caps on
if it had been a snake...
on the campaign trail
dead as a doornail
let's give it up (applaud)
the stores were like a zoo/madhouse
a sight for sore eyes
raining cats and dogs
we're pulling out all the stops
jump on the bandwagon
there's no I in team
have a nice day
as cute as a button
chop chop!
