Metaphors 1 Flashcards
A person with unsuspected talent, not expected to win
A dark horse
A rash move
A leap into the dark
A lucky guess that turns out to come true
A shot in the dark
To deliberately keep someone uninformed
To keep someone in the dark
To feign greater confidence than one really has
To whistle in the dark
The start of a different regime
The dawn of a new day
At the exact moment of sunrise, very early
The crack od dawn
Good luck comes sooner or later
Every dog has his day
In an unemotional atmosphere at a later stage
In the cold light of day
About to be abolished, terminated
Your days are numbered
To keep something in reserve
To keep something for a rainy day
To be made public
To see the light of day
I strongly object
I wouldn’t be caught dead
Definitely concluded
Dead and buried
Never
Over my dead body
