Another well known idiom....

...... The Other Half .....

When someone introduces their partner, wife or Hus-Butch or Boi-friend or Girlfriend as The Other Half, they're referencing someone of great importance, someone who they share their life with, someone they will love until the end of time.

Oh I think SOMETIMES that also refers to the idiom "Ball And Chain" as well! Other Half sounds much nice IMHO

[homoe]

"Hanky Panky"............

Trickery - double dealing. Also, more recently, sexual shenanigans.



Sidebar: Also was a song by Tommy Roe if memory serves me right, I'm not looking it up, someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

[homoe]

A Horse Of A Different Color..............

Another matter entirely, something else completely different!

[homoe]

Throw A Wrench In The Plans..............

To change (something) in a way that ruins it or prevents it from happening!

[homoe]

Silence Is Golden...............

A proverbial saying, often used in circumstances where it is thought that saying nothing is preferable to speaking. I also assume it means sometimes it's just nice not hear anyone running their mouth!

.....Saved By The Bell.....

Aside from the late 1980s TV show namesake, which covered the lives of a small group of students attending fictional Bayside High School, this idiom is often is often said when a boxer suddenly revives from a knockout punch and is able to get up before the bell rings.

Or, it's likely said by students when the recess bell rings to go home, preventing anymore last minute assignments or testing to be dealt with, especially if they're anxious to go hang out with friends after school.

Or,,,,it might be said by anyone who might not wanted to have responded to an email or text and suddenly something occurs which prevents them from having to take immediate action, hence they are saved by the 'bell'.

.....The Ball Is In Your Court .....

This idiom typically means that it's either your turn or another person's turn to make the next move.

UNLESS.... .... by coincidence, you were playing tennis and you missed that stunning over-the-top power serve and the tennis ball whizzed past you before you could lob it back. If that is the case, then it's ......The Ball *WAS* in your court.

But no worries.... there's plenty of time to tie up the score to an Love-Love score.

*lol*

Which brings to mind.......

.....She Done Turned My World Upside Down.....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this social expression infers that a person is out right smitten with whom ever "turned their world upside down."
