Eye of a needle
Heart of the matter
Head of lettuce
leg of a journey
tongue of a shoe
body of an essay
that neck of the woods
Rib-tickling
wet behind the ear
get it off your chest
give the cold shoulder
gut reaction
elbow grease
toe the line
knuckle under
a cut throat
a main artery of traffic
get off my back
turn up your nose at
fighting tooth and nail
brow beat
turn the other cheek
brainstorm
HOUSEHOLD WORDS
Soap opera
off your rocker
a wet blanket
a flying saucer
a basket case
the razors edge
out of the frying pan
and into the fire
the red carpet treatment
to kick the bucket
with a fine tooth comb
all but the kitchen sink
open up a can of worms
lie like a rug
cute as a button
pretty as a picture
rough as sandpaper
stiff as a board
white as a sheet
The neck of the bottle
The leg of the chair
WEATHER
gales of laughter
steal someone's thunder
greased lighting
sunny side up
a snow job
frozen assets
shoot the breeze
break the ice
take a rain check
on cloud nine
Misc. Metaphors
The computer bottleneck
A captain of industry
The market leader
The king of the jungle
dismantling of logical atomism
The brain of the organization
The lifeblood of the company
A hot new product
Taste the whip
Crumbling composure
Shattered resolve
Run like a Gazelle
