Where in the world do we, as Americans, come up with some of the phrases that we do? Maybe you don't "know beans" about this question, and need to "pull strings" and "go gaga" to find the answer. Or maybe you're too "bushed" to care or would rather "beat around the bush" before you "nip it in the bud." If someone else "beats you to the punch" in discovering the answer, would it "rub you the wrong way?" Boy, that would sure feel like a "double cross," but it would sure be a "red letter day" if you "spilled the beans" yourself, then you could "read the riot act" to your opponent, "lock, stock and barrel."
After all of your hard work, you can kick back, relax, and "live the life of Riley" by checking out a book from the Jasper County Public Library. These new fiction titles are sure to put you "on cloud nine."
