There are thousands of them!

1. “All the tea in China” as in, “I wouldn’t date you for all the tea in China” meaning, no matter what is being offererd the person won’t do it.

2. “Kick the bucket” as in “My dog Joe kicked the bucket last night” or in other words, died.

3. “Over my head” as in, “These idioms are over my head.” meaning, to hard to understand.

I’ll toss another one at you.

4. “I’ll keep my fingers crossed” as in, “I’ll keep my fingers crossed you get the job tomorrow.” meaning, I will hope for the best for you …
