make a fuss
My grandparents always MAKE A FUSS about me because i always get up late.I know that i need to go to bed earlier but i have done yet.
complain about something ( usually unimportant )
bang for the buck
Macbook is relatively expensive but it gives you more BANG FOR THE BUCK.I get more thing done since i bought it.And you should consider buying it to,because if you don’t get your work done on time,your boss will MAKE A FUSS about it
worth the money you spend
Around the corner
The next IELTS exam is just AROUND THE CORNER.You study or you die.New year is also AROUND THE CORNER too.You have to choose which one is your priority
coming up very soon
Hands down
Calgary is the best city in Canada to get rich,hands down
Siro-A is the HANDS DOWN the best performer in America’s got talent this year
Simply too obvious and not worth arguing at all
Heads-up
It’s easier to get A and A+ in Canada than in Vietnam because professors usually give students a HEADS-UP before the exams on what chapters to focus on.I feel like i get more BANG FOR THE BUCK
An advance notice,just to remind you something is coming so better prepared
Big time !
I earned 3000$ from stock investing last week.However yesterday’s market crash also made me lose,big time.To get more BANG FOR THE BUCK,I better do more research.

Back to square one
After losing all the money in the stock market ,my saving is now BACK TO SQUARE ONE.But i still believe stock market is HANDS DOWN the best place to make some bucks
Back to the starting point ( square one ),usually as a result of failure.
pull off (pull it off) I had a job interview last week and guess what, i PULLED IT OFF. I just PULL OFF 200.000$ real estate deal with my client.Now i have money to spend.
successfully make something happen or accomplish something,succeed.
Pull an all nighter
Even though i’m well-prepared, i still have to pull an all nighter for the exam tomorrow.Coffee is ready.Hopefully i can PULL IT OFF
Do not sleep at all to do some-freaking-thing.Most used by college students
Goof off
I don’t get it when Jim goofs off all the time but still get A+. He must have a secret sauce.
waste time instead of studying or working
A rip-off
1000$ for an IELTS course ? Definitely a rip-off. They’re obviously trying to rip you off.So stay away. You will not get any BANG FOR THE BUCK at all.
something unreasonably expensive
