BE NO STRANGER TO SOMETHING

Peter and Sally are talking about the new girl in the office:

SALLY: You know, Peter. I'm really tired of helping the new girl. She doesn't learn anything.
PETER: They should have promoted Suzie for that position. She's no stranger to that.


If you are no stranger to something, it means that you are familiar with a particular experience or activity.

SMELL FISHY

Sally witnessed something really strange in the office this morning:

PETER: What's wrong, Sally?
SALLY: Oh, Peter. I don't know how I can tell you that...
PETER: Tell me what?
SALLY: I saw Michael and Ms. Moore together in her office. 
PETER: So what?
SALLY: He was hugging her in a different way...you know.
PETER: Hummm....It smells fishy to me.




If something SMELLS FISHY TO YOU, it seems suspicious. They are probably thinking that Michael is having an affair with their boss.

Do you like to be THE THIRD WHEEL? Do you usually hang out with your best friend when he/she is with his/her girlfriend/boyfriend? 
If you answered "Yes, I do", it means that you are the third wheel. You're not needed, but you are always there.




WIN HANDS DOWN

Peter and Sally are playing their favorite game: Mortal Kombat. Peter is trying to defeat Sally, but...

PETER: You'll never win!

Speaker: "Kitana wins - Flawless Victory"

SALLY: You see! I won hands down.


If you WIN HANDS DOWN, you win very easily.
