There's nothing to it
As sick as a parrot
Eke out
Say no more
Scrub up well
You shouldn't have
Not looking too clever
Not like the sound of something
I'll give you that
Another string to your bow
Clap back
Talk through your hat
Quote ... unquote
Not a patch on something
No cap
Moreish
A legend in one's lifetime
Live rent-free in one's head
Now you're talking
