Must have two identifiable metaphors in one:(Not all of these are right)
We could stand here and talk until the cows turn blue.
He was watching me like I was a hawk.
I’ll get it by hook or ladder.
He’s a wolf in cheap clothing.
I wouldn’t eat that with a ten-foot pole.
Take a flying hike.
I shot the wind out of his saddle.
It’s all moth-eared.
I can read him like the back of my book.
From now on, I’m watching everything you do with a fine-tuned comb.
It’s as easy as falling off a piece of cake.
He’s like a duck out of water.
These hemorrhoids are a real pain in the neck.
It’s time to grab the bull by the tail and look him in the eye.
I wouldn’t be caught dead there with a ten-foot pole.
It’s time to step up to the plate and lay your cards on the table.
He’s burning the midnight oil from both ends.
You can’t change the spots on an old dog.
It sticks out like a sore throat.
It’s like looking for a needle in a hayride.
People are dying like hotcakes.
He’s a little green behind the ears.
We have to get all our ducks on the same page.
The fan is gonna hit the roof.
I have a lot of black sheep in my closet.
