0:00 intro
0:53 to go unnoticed
1:19 give me a hand
1:50 give it the old college try
2:35 start from scratch
3:05 make from scratch
3:35 take a chill pill
4:07 don’t add insult to injury
5:03 caught you red-handed
5:45 hold your horses
6:25 break the ice
7:05 hit the hay
7:25 draw a blank
8:08 take the bait
9:00 cover all of the bases
9:37 stay on top of it
10:09 you nailed it
10:23 you hit the nail on the head
10:46 that’s an old wives tale
11:36 it’s not rocket science
12:13 heart of gold
12:34 sell like hotcakes
12:54 a far cry from
13:21 I don’t trust you as far as I could throw you
13:56 It doesn’t sit well with me
14:17 Once in a blue moon
14:28 Case of Mondays
15:06 Sunday scaries
15:34 I am on top of the world
15:57 I’m at my wit’s end
16:21 I can’t win
16:45 Why the long face?
17:08 high and dry
17:38 I’m so hungry I could eat a horse
18:04 the last straw
18:09 the straw that broke the camel’s back
18:04 It builds character
19:28 You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs
20:22 Don’t make mountains out of molehills
20:49 Keep your chin up
21:15 I didn’t catch that
21:39 Go big or go home
21:41 gotta risk it to get the biscuit
22:14 Down to the wire
22:48 off the top of my head
23:11 see the light
23:44 missing the forest for the trees
24:16 don’t spit in the wind
24:44 easier said than done
25:20 preaching to the choir
25:50 fish in a barrel
26:08 go hand in hand
26:26 bite the bullet

  • "The old college try" and "take a chill pill" used to be more commonly used decades ago. Those particular phrases are not in use much anymore, but they are valid idioms in American English.

  • “Under the radar” refers to a property of radar that makes ground based radar unable to sense very low flying objects due to what is called ground clutter. So a plane that doesn’t wish to be seen by radar flys very close to the ground almost hitting tree tops and the radar won’t show the plane on its screen.

  • Love the video, and most of the expressions. I say most, because some of them do change with time, especially in America where the language morphs faster than in most countries. I often date myself when I use certain expressions (I'm pushing 70 here), so I have to be cognizant of who I'm talking to! In addition, you have idioms that go with certain professional territories, for example, "let's take it offline", or "let me circle back". I'm sure people can think of many more. Anyway, great video!
