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.
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.
