a slap in the face

a face like thunder

a carrot and stick

rainy day

a yen

a wake-up call

shake like a leaf

a breath of fresh air

call it a day

to flog (beat) a dead horse

ahead of one’s time

against the clock

be barking up the wrong tree

until you are blue in the face

put one’s money where one’s mouth is

The grass is always greener on the other side (of the fence)

red-letter day

silver-tongued

on the money

like a red rag to a bull
