A hot potato – an issue that everyone is speaking of
Add salt to a wound – make a situation worse
Barking up the wrong tree – looking in the wrong place
The ball is in your court – it’s up to you
Elvis has left the building – the show has ended
Far cry from – very different from
In the heat of the moment – overwhelmed by what’s happening
Your guess is as good as mine – have no idea
Nest egg – saving something for the future
Never-never land – imagination
