Break the ice
Bris an deigh
Bite the bullet
Bìdeadh am peilear
Hit the sack
Buail an sac
Let the cat out of the bag
Leig an cat a-mach às a' phoca
Costs an arm and a leg
Cosgaidh e làmh is cas
Under the weather
Fon aimsir
Once in a blue moon
Aon uair ann an gealach ghorm
Speak of the devil
Bruidhinn air an diabhal
See eye to eye
Faic sùil ri sùil
Kill two birds with one stone
Marbhaich dà eun le aon chloich
Let sleeping dogs lie
Leig le coin nan cadal laighe
Bark up the wrong tree
Rùisg suas a’ chraobh cheàrr
Hit the nail on the head
Buail an t-ingne air a’ cheann
Burn the midnight oil
Loisg an ola meadhan-oidhche
Beat around the bush
Buail timcheall a’ phreas
By the skin of your teeth
Le craiceann do fhiaclan
Add fuel to the fire
Cuir connadh ris an teine
Back to the drawing board
Air ais chun bhòrd-dhealbhaidh
Bite off more than you can chew
Bìdeadh nas motha na as urrainn dhut a chnàmh
Cry over spilt milk
Caoin thairis air bainne a chaidh a dhòrtadh
Cut to the chase
Gearr chun tòir
Feeling under the weather
A’ faireachdainn fo shìde
Get a taste of your own medicine
Faigh blas den leigheas agad fhèin
Give the benefit of the doubt
Thoir buannachd an teagamh
Go the extra mile
Gabh an rathad a bharrachd
Hit the road
Buail an rathad
In the heat of the moment
Ann an teas na h-ùine
Jump on the bandwagon
Leum air a’ chòmhlan-ciùil
Jump the gun
Leum an gunna
Keep your chin up
Cùm do smiogaid suas
Make a long story short
Dèan sgeulachd fhada goirid
Miss the boat
Caill am bàta
No pain no gain
Gun phian gun bhuannachd
Pull someone’s leg
Tarraing cas cuideigin
Take it with a grain of salt
Gabh e le gràn salainn
The ball is in your court
Tha am ball anns a’ chùirt agadsa
The best of both worlds
An rud as fheàrr den dà shaoghal
Throw in the towel
Tilg a-steach an searbhadair
Up in the air
Suas san adhar
Your guess is as good as mine
Tha do bharail cho math ri mo bharail-sa
Bite the dust
Bìdeadh an duslach
Elephant in the room
Ailbhean anns an t-seòmar
Hit the jackpot
Buail am prìomh bhuannachd
