Figure of Speech - How Many Can You Find?
Other
Just a bit of fun. This one is doing the rounds at the moment. How many can you find?
To start you off.......'Cat got your tongue' There are 26 more to find.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket: Time flies: Wearing your heart on your sleeve: Born with a silver spoon in your mouth:
angemski Playing your cards close to your chest: An Ace up your sleeve: You canβt make an omelette without breaking an egg: Me and my shadow: Donβt get cold feet:
Cards close to your chest and Ace up your sleeve and getting cold feet correct.The shadow phrase isn't the official one but I like it. Egg one incorrect.
Ear worm: In a nut shell: Piece of cake: Bald as a coot: Donβt spill the beans: Hit the nail on the head: Red herring: Joker in the pack: Tie in knots: The shoe on the other foot:
Time waits for no man, don't put all your eggs in one basket, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, time flies, got the cat by the tail

Silver spoon in mouth (usually; born with silver spoon in mouth - perhaps that spoon has been there since birth). EDIT - Just realised already spotted.
Not sure but if that's a broken egg under his back foot, could it be "walking on egg shells" ?
Lol I wish I could, but Iβm useless with these kind of things. Iβm not good with riddles either. But good to see the answers so I can try to figure it out

We seem to like these types of distractions angemski?!
gerrykelly25 I completely agree - yesterday was my first 'low' day and this occupied my brain for quite a while so had to share. I love a puzzle that isn't easy to solve.
There are only three that were not the official answers but I preferred the answers that were given anyway!
shadow of his former self, swing a cat and tying the knot.
Thanks to everyone who joined in. Hopefully someone else could offer a new one..... davidstockport ???
