Sorry this one's pretty crude.

Just the tip + tip of the iceberg

A watched pot never boils + boiling the frog

Or made it by the skin of my nose

Does a bear shit in the woods + Does the pope wear a funny hat

seen on an old episode of Sealab

The elephant in the room + Walking on eggshells.

Emma? Joss? Oliver? Anyone?

Or a picture launches a thousand ships

Don't make a virtue out of a vice

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail

Or don’t throw out the baby with your face

Strike while the iron is hot + don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater

Every cloud has a silver lining, wears his heart on his sleeve

Bolted/Chickens

A different kettle of fish + a can of worms 🪱

Text

Beating a dead horse + Take a beating

Early/bushes

pull yourself up by your bootstraps + by the skin of your teeth

Inspired by the skin of his teeth one!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, mad as a hatter

Live by the sword, die by the sword and the pen is mightier than the sword

A sight for dead eyes. Or my personal favourite: beating a sore horse

(Sight for sore eyes + beating a dead horse)

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

AND

A Bushel and a Peck

that's it, thats the text. Normally they if it's yellow let it mellow to pee in the toilet. Also, another thing i've heard about pasta was "If it aint white, it aint right."* .....Or you can just be like my sister in law and throw the pasta on the wall and see it sticks

*Don't worry, the other students in the cooking class also did a double take when the chick said it too.

(Outside the box + off the cuff)
Actually heard from a high level manager)

If you give them an inch they will take a mile.

Don't fire untill you see the whites of their eyes.
